| | 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. |  | |

Thanks everyone! Very much appreciated.
Matt has been very very ill. He has viral bronchitis. I had brought him into emerg last week and he just needs rest. I had thought he was better but took a turn for the worse on Wednesday. He's been home resting since then.
My eldest son Chris is also here until Sunday. I haven't seen him since May, so this is a lovely visit. I can honestly say I'm in a happy bubble in my house! lol Matt is very thrilled. I don't think I could have made a better X-mas for him than this.
However, Matt wants to go shopping with Chris and I. I haven't been able to let him. He is so sick and he only lasts an hour when not ill. I am afraid that if I let him go to a mall, he will pass out cold on me.
Tomorrow night we are going to go and look at all the X-mas lights and head over to Ryan's to meet his hoard and play video games. Hopefully Matt will be able to handle it.
I have to say I am rather worried about him. He seems to be under more stress than usual. I think that the holiday may be affecting him. I know that Chris here is an extra stressor although good.
I'm a basket case myself. I've been shopping non stop for weeks, which is well over my pushing limits. Family in, Chris here, Matt sick etc.. It's adding up.
I think I just needed to type it out a little and see in black and white the whole situation to kinda see it all.

Thanks!
Chris left on Sunday. We had a great visit. Matt and I had X-mas alone. We recorded opening our presents X-mas morning to send out to family. It was rather fun. We had a very quiet and relaxing day. I think this is the first time I haven't been a stressed out wreck on X-mas! It was very nice and Matt and I enjoyed it a lot.
Today, Matt was wandering around and told me he can't think. He said he's trying to think but can't. It's just blank. LOL so I told him not to think. He looked at me like I was nuts. I explained to him that sometimes we just need a break from that and to go and do something that he could just blank out on for awhile.
He's off making Bionicles now! lol
