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.

My mom and twin sister suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. They seem surprised that mine seem to go off the charts in comparison to theirs. Sometimes they will take meds, but normally they get the one cycle of 10 or 15 minutes and are just done. To me that is the amazing part.

My mom has been on tranquilizers since before she was pregnant with me. My dad has been understandably stressed from his career as a firefighter/emt. My full brother exhibits symptoms of anxiety. I'm not sure about my half-siblings. I think there are at least eating disorder issues with them. I know there was considerable stress in my father's parents' relationship. He was an abusive alcoholic. And his wife had a schizophrenic troublesome mother. I don't know about my mom's parents. Everyone depicts them as great, kind people. One reason it's such a mystery to us why my mom is the way she is.

My father is an alcoholic. He used to use booze to "manage" his stress. Now he just screams at everyone. My mother has had a few nervous breakdowns. She's ****ing nuts though. LOL Of course my son has stress considering he has PTSD!

Well....My Mom has taken valium for years and has severe anxiety and rage issues as does my brother. All three of us shake when nervous or angry. I think my grandfather may have had PTSD from the war and was also a raging alcoholic. I have 8 uncles on my mothers side and they all have alcohol issues...all of them. I have two aunts on my fathers side that have been hospitalized for depression too. Wow....that is a lot of people in my family.

My grandfather collapsed with stress at age 50 and never worked another day in his life,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have uncles and cousins who have severe cases and have had shock treatments. All of my aunts and uncles on mother's side have one form or another. We suspect it has affected my sister too, but we live in different states, and don't speak often. I am basing this on her past "life history".

Everyone I am blood relation with has either PTSD or some stress-related illness. It's hard to raise 'normal' kids when everyone they spend time with has a stress disorder. So the cycle continues.

I think the World Wars did the white end of it in, while the colonization did the red line in. The anger and inability to handle stress has been passed down through all blood lines with much practice!
