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.

2quilt and pandora: Hi there! Thank you for your responses. I talked with my therapist last week and we are starting some therapy for me. He is pretty well versed in PTSD since it was part of his dissertation or something (I know its one of his specialty areas). That session was pretty hard so I even have an extra one scheduled this week.

Oddly enough, I don't seem to be bothered by patient's experiences even if they were similar to mine. I've learned pretty well to separate my work life from other emotions (I had to lean to do that when I was 16 and working as a CNA in a nursing home Alzheimer's unit). My problem seems to arise more when I start to talk about my own or when I think on my own experiences a lot which I don't do at work. :)
