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.

Default F-ing Firecrackers Man! Talk About Startle Response
I'm sorry, but my neighbor got these f***ing firecrackers from Mexico and the s*** makes me jump in my skin every time, I can seriously feel the adrenaline running in my veins - not in a nice way! It's not even dark yet and I feel like I'm about to cry or run next door with a meat cleaver and chop up some little kids and dumb a** adults! AND it's nap time, the dogs are freaking and it's freaking 103 degrees outside!!!

I'd also like to take a minute to thank all our people in uniform helping us to stay free.

Yeah, the amateurs are at it here, too. I hate the way they make me jump. Dogs are barking, and I'm worried fireworks are going to land on our house.

Hang in there.
