| | 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. |  |

Hello everyone. I'm not only new here but also new to PTSD. I'm trying to educate myself so I can be a more supportive spouse and am also here for some support for myself, as I've found there is none where we are stationed. I've been reading the posts in several different areas and feel like I know some of you already, and am looking forward to spending time on the forum. |

Welcome to the forum Jolene, lovely to have you. Knowledge is very important to when it comes to being a carer, so well done for wishing to educate yourself. That is very positive, and you have definitely come to the right place to learn from both carers and sufferers. Take care and I look forward to chatting with you more. |
