i find if i get treated like a normal person that i can function better and feel that im not upsetting them, if they are happy then im happy,my life has been great the last couple of weeks because of this and im really hoping that it continues.
i can see why a employer wouldnt want a ptsd sufferer working just incase they have a bad day but i think it comes down to understanding what ptsd is first.
all the best and i really hope things improve.
hang in there,there is always light at the end of the tunnel as im finding out.
i think that is a bit harsh, i dont see it as bashing as you call it and i dont think it is a race thing either just simply pointing out who has the most accidents in a war type situation.
look how big the us forces are they are naturally going to have more incidents than say aussie troops just...
i have trained with both english and american soldiers and both us army and marines and it all comes down to training.
i found the english to be totally professional and a joy to work with,however i found the us soldiers similar to our ary reserve but the marines are squared away with their...
before i started the ptsd course i was very scared,of what i was going to face and the people i would meet.
you are all right in saying meeting face to face would be great and of great benefit.
i can tell you the people i meet on that course are now some of my most special friends,and it is very...
most of them i get on well with it and i guess im jealous of the attention mywife gives them.
we were ion the forum together(i was a member before hand).
it is both on line and socializing,i only want her to stop talking to those who she has been around when she makes silly discitions.
i am on...
no she didnt cheat, i was involved in the forum aswell but i sort of got pushed off the computor.
well thats how it felt and what youve said is exactly what my wife said.
but after ive been made aware of what i was doing ive tried my best to change but the same things happen,just not as bad as...
i dont know if there has been a thread on this before but my wife and i had a talk about the situation we are in at the moment,and she said a few things that got me thinking.
when us the veterans arnt going well we can go to our gp.s most of the time and i didnt relize untill tonight how many...
after you have bought them up try loocking them in the bottom of a bag in your head then as you add your past experiances into the bag everything gets deeper and harder to bring up.
just see how it goes,its worth a try.
i know its hard but try to think of the positives of doing those things instead of the negatives and see how that goes.
if you think of good things that cane happen you tend to focus on those more than the bad.
maybe try some relaxation tapes to listen to aswell.
i can be a bastard aswell and have been in the past.
ive done the angermanagment course aswell as the ptsd course and got alot from both,i try to implement what ive been taught and when i think im going well something is thrown at me and im not allowed to loose my temper because thats ptsd and...
i think i will be ending the relationship.she thinks that she hasnt done anything wrong but will continue to go back 5 years describe how i made her feel then use that to justify whats going on now.
ive told her its not ptsd its her making the wrong decitions that is the issue but still no joy...
thanks for that and what you have said is exactly right,i love my wife but there is no trust at all,everytime i start building a bit of trust something happens.
i wouldnt call her a cheater because she hasnt gone that far id call her a flirt but to me thats just as bad.
anthony you have explained in your first post exactly how ive been feeling for the last year.i put up a thread in another section and it seems pointless now as some questions have been answered here.
my wife is the same blaming ptsd and brings up the past everytime we have a blue about whats...
i am aware that alot of relationships end because of our service, im just wondering if its common with ptsd.
the reason im asking is because my wife and i have been separated since may last year because of her involvment with a car forum and the people on it.
she said it happened as a result of...
all of the above are great ideas and you can also do something that makes you tired, like reading a book for example.
but if you are still awake after about half an hour get up and go through your bed time routine again and see how that goes.
good luck with it.
i hope it improves jen ive only just started using stuff from the course maybe its starting to take effect at your house aswell.
i very much hope so and please let me know how things go.
paul.
most of the damage is cause when we sleep.
its because our bodies are all tense while we sleep,you could try a relaxation method to try and stop this.
its the same as when you wake up and feel exhausted because your body has been tensed up the whole night.
thanks anthony, we got to the gate for a chat last nightand went well.
i dont know if it happened on your course but we had 4 blokes from other courses come in and have a chat and all mentioned relapse after the course which got to us a bit.
after that i think and my wife mentioned it that we...
i found that my memory especially short term improved greatly with a change in medication,before that i couldnt remember my home phone number but now i can remember things such as birthdays and appointments.
thanks ive had the tools but havent used them since finishing the course, i think i expected it all to become second nature but ive now realised ill have to work hard on everything which is what we were told.
im looking forward to tomorrow which is something i havent done in a while.
