| | 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. |  | |

Welcome to the forum. You read and get to know others who live with the hand dealt and hopefully with hard work you are not just living but thriving with the hand dealt. |

Not sure how this works so here's the skinny, xvet from the first gulf go around, drove for a local ambulance company when I got out, and I have been a firefighter in Toledo Ohio for going on 15 years now and I can honestly say it has been a hard road was nearly killed in January 06 didn't like that much never thought learning to walk again would be so hard but the therapist's were cute, well enough for now...see ya.. |

Welcome to the forum, FH9S.
Seconding what mouse said...keep trying. We all keep trying, fighting and pushing every day. It's all part of the battle we fight daily. Know that you're not alone in the fight.
