Just a heads up. We are still getting along well. In fact, a lot better and we are talking and hanging out and I really like her.

Surfing is the best one. what state?

Well, maybe not, maybe not. There's a lot of life left I'll bet. And there ARE fun things about being alone. I sailed to alaska all by myself, took me 5 months, so much solitude. Could get up when I wanted, go when and where I wanted.

What do you mean if I wind up on the wrong side of a trigger, not get out unscathed. what could happen to me, get hurt?

maybe its been more like three or four weeks, this last month has been busy, I would have to think about when. I don't know....she just keeps calling and coming over. last night while I was writing this she knocked on the door, and then I let her in and then she was like "i shouldn't have...

ok, no, I am listening, I am. I'll keep reading and I will load up my back pocket! Thanks! I just think it IS a scary lonely world and I don't know what PTSD is like exactly, but someone victimized you sometime and they took something away. Aren't you letting them take something else...

Ok, some good responses. I was only trying to be nice. About the safe thing. I disagree though, that she has to take it slow or not have a relationship or what the first poster said. Just because she has PTSD doesn't make her less than anyone else. I think she can make her own choices...

Using medication off label isnt' inherently bad. There are a lot of good uses for a lot of medicines that the FDA is just dragging their feet on approving them for. I just was prescribed gaba after a car wreck. It might work.

Not the world's best title, but it is the best I can think of. About two weeks I met someone with PTSD. we went out a couple times, and things are progressing. I would like advice on kind some do's and dont's that I should be mindful of. I think there are some common PTSD traits many...

Is he eating poorly and not exercising? How overweight? Chubby, or enough to have significant health risks?

So just when I think it's don't I see her at church today and then she is writing me again tonight saying we will talk tomorrow. What do Indo? Talk and be her friend?

Ok. This is clearly more severe than I thought. At least the rest of you don't think I'm a creep the way I described a hug! So maybe I'm not cut out for this type of relationship. I was comparing it more to myself and an ex I had with anxiety, panic and OCD which I have seen the highs and lows...

I think I agree with the last post. I have compassion, I really do, but I would not have asked on this website if I hadn't been stood up tons of times already. From her telling me she was going to visit me in the hospital today, and today becomes tomorrow and tomorrow the next day. ....while...

I guess I could ask. I just think her PTSD is a sensitive subject so I let her tell me what she wants to. What have I asked her to do. Hmm. Simple stuff. Eat. Just hang out anywhere really. Drive to the coast because she said the ocean makes her feel better. Nothing major. She is just so closed...

I never initiate contact. I always wait for her to contact me and then respond with something really light hearted. She does text me every day though she seems to prefer texts. She probably texts me 2-10 times a day and each time I respond. I met her 3 months ago and have seen her outside of...
