| | 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. |  | |

| | bec, you're doing a great job as Matt's mom. It's really nice to see someone so ferociously protective of her kid.
I hope he does okay on the Zoloft. That's what I take and it really made a difference in my agitation and panic, brought it down to manageable levels.
I hope things look up soon for Matt.

| | Thanks Kathy.
Matt had to return to the hospital last night. So I cooked a roast yesterday and we had Ryan and two of his kids over. Today... well the phones are shut off and I'm here.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving Kathy, and the Kitchen party.. made me want to come and play my dobro with you all...

| | Thank you. Hopefully someday I can afford a trip and Matt and I could come visit. Perhaps by that time he will know a tune he can play on the fiddle ;) We are both learning Celtic style right now (him the fiddle and me the guitar) and we are both rather excited!
Yesterday was okay. After dropping Matt back off at the hospital, I stayed home and cried. I hate dropping my baby off there. He should be home by Friday. Both of us are very lonely for each other and both very depressed. I want him home, he wants to come home. Today has been very depressing and I'm just trying to keep even-keeled. I also have to be cheerful on the phone for Matt, as he's very homesick. I just keep telling myself and him that it's just a few more days.

| | Sounds most difficult Bec. Everytime one of mine has been admitted I have wanted to stay at the hospital with them day and night, which obviously is not possible or practical. Friday is not much longer, however 4 days can seem like an eternity when you are depressed and missing a loved one. Take care Bec, you have done very well. |
