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.

One of the things others may hate about me, is the ability to "switch" feelings on or off.
Sometimes I do not have the choice, off seems to come on more then on ever will.
During a stressful situations, ptsd brains have learned to observe first, to see if it is safe enough to feel.
I detach alot, and sometimes I use it as a weapon, but knowing it can be used as a weapon, I try to subdue my first instincts if safety truly exists.
Baby steps are needed, feeling too much good, can also trigger an undesirable effect.
You are normal for where you are and from what you had to endure.
