Hi there, Thank you very much for sharing your story with us. Your partner is a very lucky person to have someone as loving and caring as yourself in his life. It is something extremely rare. I am pleasantly surprised there are people like yourself who can or have the aptitude to love people...

Please I am not trying to offend anyone here and please don't try to hijack the post to be about male vs female thing. I am just trying to state facts based on published accepted research. It may not be what you want to hear but it is what it is. It doesn't change its truth. Please refer to the...

Hi there, I am sorry to hear you are struggling with the same thing and my heart truly goes out to you. I will try to clarify what I meant... I mentioned "often" to indicate most of us. If I wanted to say all of us were supportive, caring and reliable I would have said "always". I think it is...

Hi there, Thank you for clarifying the situation I now have a clearer picture. I am so sorry he had to go through this. The stuff he went through would DEFINITELY cause him to develop complex PTSD. Yes medication tends to level up our highs and lows. So our anger is reduced but it also means...

Hi there, First of all, from the posts, I am amazed that so many ladies out there are willing and trying hard to make it work with their PTSD partner. To love them despite their "demons" is something I thought was unimaginable before joining this forum. From the bottom of my heart and on behalf...

Hi there, In my opinion, PTSD is NEVER an excuse to be violent or abusive towards others. If you are walking on egg shells because you fear his temper and if you already see signs of physical abuse (towards your dogs) then it sounds to me that you are already in an abusive relationship and you...

Hi all, my apologies I should have clarified my post to mention that the CPTSD I was talking about was complex PTSD which often results due to prolonged childhood traumas over an extended period of time. I didn't realize it could also mean combat PTSD. Although there maybe similarities, I don't...

Hi There, First of all, thank you very much for answering my questions. That was very enlightening and greatly appreciated. Second, I would like to say that your partner is an immensely lucky and fortunate person to have someone like you who cares so much and willing to help. There aren't many...

Hi there, I have been struggling with CPTSD since early childhood. I have a few questions to all the ladies whose partner is struggling with CPTSD to help me sort things out... - When did you fall in love with your partner? before or after he told you about his CPTSD? - How long into the...

Hi there, I truly feel sorry for what you are going through. I also struggle with CPTSD. I need to raise questions to think about (since I myself haven't found an answer to them in my own situation)... Please I am not trying to put any thought or ideas in your head. Just posing some questions...

Hi there, yes I have seen a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with CPTSD but wasn't accepting any patients. She prescribed some medication which I have been taking for about a year now. It does help somewhat. Unfortunately, the city I live in doesn't have much resources for CPTSD especially for...

Thank you kindly for your reply. I can see you are much further ahead in recovery than I am. I find what you said to be truely inspiring !!! You said that what worked for you was to make a list of the potential parts of yourself. The problem is that I am not sure what good is that if people...

Hi there, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me with some advice...but sorry in advance for the long message.... I am a 32 yo male. I have been diagnosed with CPTSD which I have been struggling with since my early childhood. Although I consider myself caring...
