New Here
Hi there.
I'm new to this forum, but not new to forums in general. My partner has recently been diagnosed with "severe PTSD" as a result of his time in the military when he was younger. It crept up on him (in some ways) when he was in hospital for another completely unrelated incident, and (how he tells it) he was sitting on his backside too long and it all finally caught up with him. :crybaby:
He has told me a few times of late that now's the time for me to bail if I want, as he is considerably older than me and he doesn't want me getting "dragged down" in his problems. I however want to stay for the long haul, understand this new scenario as best as I can and see what happens from there. Hence me looking for somewhere like this!
I am completely in the dark when it comes to how it is initially handled once someone is admitted to hospital, so would like some clarity there, and also I'm curious to know how drastically PTSD has affected other people in their day to day lives once the initial bumps are sorted out.
I look forward to understanding my man better and hope you guys will be able to help me in my quest!
Regards,
YummyMummy
