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.

My name is Dave and I am from South Jersey. I served in Somalia and from time to time experience severe nightmares. Because of the stigma that goes with it I have pretty much kept my mouth shut about it and I just deal with it.

I found this site while researching for my next book. If there are any authors/writers here I would entertain the idea of having a co-author. I want the book itself to show that soldiers returning from the war are not alone as far as PTSD is concerned.

The last book is titled:

Time Well Wasted: The Story of 1st Plt., 10th MP Co. In Somalia

It is due out in August and chronicles the first four months of Operation Restore Hope. It is the Army's version of Jar Head only with combat.

I am working on 2 more:

PTSD: Surviving the Trip Home

and another that doesn't have a title yet.
