| | 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. |  | |

| | Grieving... I found out yesterday that someone I deeply loved had passed away on Sunday from an unexpected heart attack. It was my ex, the biker. I had just gotten back from T.Bay (we had broken down on the way home so it was a 23 hour trip) and I was already sick from severe anxiety. (I'm getting really freaked out about moving, and I mean really freaked out.) So I've cried beyond any sense of crying, I went out drinking and got smashed, my eyes are swollen beyond belief (crying and alcohol.. hmmm good mix) I'm severly sick and I'm not handling this well. I haven't slept since yesterday. The funeral is tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to this. I'm not sure if any of you have been to biker funerals but they are beautiful and heart-breaking.
Anyways, I'm very messed up. Marv (my ex biker) I was bonded with in a twisted sense. His name is under a tattoo on my arm (yes I was property once.) His current girlfreind is devastated. His son will be there. Every biker for a hundred miles and then some will be there. F**k. I have to go. I have to give my respects and say good-bye and I don't want to. I don't want to see everyone and their tears and mine and say good-bye.

| | Bec,
I too am so sorry for your loss. Death is one of those things that doesn't hit you until you experience it. It just knocks the wind right out of your sails. Hopefully, tomorrow you will feel different and you'll find strength for the future.

| | I am sorry for your lose, Bec. At least heart attack is not a painful death. Many other people are not as lucky, if this word can apply. I mean, so many are suffering form horrible illnesses before they die. |

| | I hope you hold up OK. Sorry don't know what to say except stay away from the alcohol and sorry your eyes are probably doing the severe puff, but sometimes you can't hold it back. |
