| | 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. |  | |

Anthony - you are so right. I am ashamed that's all I wrote about but it was so hard for me and I had to get it out to people that understand. There were lots of positives, the primary one being that my girls got to spend so much time with family other than just me and my husband. They also got a lot more freedom than they normally do! |

Maybe you should look at listing them all for nothing more than yourself, and learn from this that in the future to look at your positives vs. negatives, not just negatives alone which are depressing all by themselves. Well done though. |

I found oout on October 11th that an old, good friend of mine was run over repeatedly on hwy 880 in Hayward, Ca. News reports that over 80 people called in with mysterious blood, tissue and hair on their cars. I've been having a really hard time with getting the image of his body being ripped appart and nobody stopping to help. I loved this man as one of my closest friends before my married life and now I am having such a hard time in my life now, because of what happend to him. What a horrible way to die, I just can't get it out of my head. He was the first person I knew with PTSD. |

I found out today that his brother finally claimed his remains on Monday and had him cremated, ashes scattered to the wind. 5 days after his terrible accident.

Dave's memorial is tomorrow and I'm haveing MAJOR anxiety about it. The only friend I have left from that particular group of friends is going with me, I wouldn't be able to go alone. I am afraid this guy (that Dave told me stabbed him because Dave was protecting me) might be there...It has been so long since I have seen most of these people and I know there's going to be a huge group. I almost feel like packing my husband's 40 to feel safe, but I never carry in public. I am trying to be brave but so many thoughts have been racing through my head, no sleep, no appitite...I know some of the people that ran over his body and helped decapitate him are going to be there, I just want to go to sleep. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
