Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I better get this started.
22 year vet with 2 tours.
Yes, I have nightmares and fear of rejection and being alone.
My wife is trying to understand. She's an RN.
My daughter thinks PTSD is bogus.
But this is for me and will pay benefits to them.

Welcome RK, I hope your daughter never learns how real this is. And I do hope your wife learns to cope, as you never get this until you have it. That said welcome to the forum.

Welcome Home Brother,
That's an important statement for you to believe and accept, that you are welcomed back to a grateful nation, as a returning Warrior.
If you have not been debriefed by the military, it's very important for you to get help. Vet Centers are a good start. Talk to a counselor there. He'll probably suggest one-on-one or group therapy for you. Take it, it's very important to be able to put the trauma behind you as soon as possible. It only gets worse if you don't.
You've arrived at a very good place online to learn, and it's only limited by your willingness to believe. It's also important for your family to learn about PTSD too, so they can understand what PTSD is, and how to give you the support that's necessary for you to feel REALLY "at home" again with them.
Respectfully,
WarHippy1%
