My girlfriend of 2 1/2 years has ptsd which reared it's ugly head six months into our relationship, long after I had fallen madly head over heals in love with her. At first neither of us knew what was happening, we were frightened and confused (we still are much of the time) but after finding the diagnosis and reading about ptsd we are beginning to make progress in healing. Ptsd stole my girlfriend and placed her in hell. I could barely stand to watch her suffer. Now, after 2 years of dealing with all of the symptoms, ptsd has stolen my life and placed me in a kind of hell as well. I have realized that if I'm going to support her I have to be much stronger and learn as much about ptsd as possible. The more I learn about ptsd (for me the scientific/medical causes has been especially helpful) the easier it is to cope with the angry outbursts, 15 hour screaming sessions and a tongue that cuts like a knife. Intimacy is the hardest part, and I am looking forward to many discussions here with other supporters regarding intimacy and coping with the confusing anger/hatred/rage that comes at me sometimes, even though I know she loves me.
Anyone who has suggestions for books or media, anything, regarding ptsd and especially healing please write.
Thank you and good luck to everyone
