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.

Hi Dutch Filly

Wow, that is quite a story - glad that you found your way here. In each of the stories there are some lessons - you will never "unremember" your life events, but rather find a way to live with them. It is natural when we are wounded to withdraw - hopefully to some place that is safe - to heal, safe to sleep. The flashbacks and "movies" will hopefully settle - I have found therapy and seroquel to be helpful. It is ironic that when we read of such traumatic events in the paper or hear it on the news, that we find a way to connect, to understand and to make sense of our world.

May you find the extrovert in you - take care - live well.
