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.

Default Another Round with PTSD
Hi All,

My name is Laura and I live in Maryland. I am married to a wonderful man who is very understanding, even when he doesn't entirely understand. He looked at me a couple of weeks ago and noted that I had a faraway look in my eyes and he wanted me to come back. It amazed me how accurately he assessed the situation since I had just realized what was happening. Three nights of nightmares will do that to you--especially when it has been years since there was one.

I was sexually abused as a child (age 6 to 11) by a close relative. I had some bad years and was in therapy and diagnosed with PTSD 11 years ago. I am 36 now. I thought I had managed to get passed the bad dreams and the anxiety and the memories, but back they come. I don't want to get to the point in my life where I push away everyone that cares about me and I don't want to get lost too far away or run away again-life is too good right now.

So, here I am. I am not quite sure what I expect to find, but I think I would like to just talk to other people who feel as I do and face it all once again and maybe for the last time.

Laura
