| | 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. |  | |

Hi to all, ive been around watching and reading most of the post, some leave me scratching my head in bewilderment. Its a wonder that some of us can make it past tea time to get ready for the next day, the past few weeks have been a bit shit for me, being that i had to put my best mate down. He was the one that listened to all of my problems, licked my face when only he knew when the time was right.
I loved Max, he was given to me after my accident to help me take my mind off of all the shit i was dealing with, i feel as if he is still out in the backyard, that funny feeling, that cold chill, its there when i go out there.
In my weired mind i think Max will be there for a long time to come, unleast until i can cry for him. To take my mate to the vets and get him put down and not be able to shead a tear rips my heart apart, since my accident i have lost the ability to cry.
Thats where i am at the moment, still waiting to cry.

I'm so sorry Rob. I remember you wrote that Max was who you would go and talk to when you needed to vent your feelings. He sounded like a marvelous gift for you.
Sending my thoughts to you and your family. Our fur-babies are our family, too.

I also lost my soul mate, a chocolate lab that had gone through it all with me. It was a sudden unexpected loss. My family became very concerned for me knowing what a loss it was for me. It's been a year and a half and I still feel the loss. But I also know she is with me each day in my heart.
My adult? daughter gave me some good advice at the time. It was Dec 22 when I put casey down, and on Christmas eve my daughter arrived with my Christmas present of a Cat. I didn't feel ready but this was her reasoning.
1st she went to 4 pounds to interview Cats. Having grown up on a farm she has experienced many animal losses. She said that although I still would have the loss the new member would help me by giving me comfort. She was right! |

I'm sorry too. My own doggy is old now (I've had her for twelve years) and I am dreading the day she is too old. I take her to the vet for every little thing worrying aout her health. So far so good but our time together is getting shorter and knowing that fills me with grief. So I get what your going through and empathize with you. Hang in there nugget. Maybe eventually you will be able to cry for him.
Take care, Morgan |
