At the end of the day if you don't like how you're acting and thinking and aren't able to change it on your own getting professional help is the best next step. Looking for people that feel like you and building up a peer support network is great. Unless you have PTSD, this forum will be of...

Quick note, this is a forum for people with PTSD and their supporters. You didn't exactly mention PTSD having an impact on your mindset. Not once did I say to not care, I thought I was clear that I believe you need help. One doesn't quit in the act of getting help, no matter what I say you'll...

Happy to help :)

It seems like your trying to send a message, hell if I can figure out what it is. You mention that your safe and seem to think that the reader will care about your wellbeing, I personally don't. Honestly, I get the impression that this intended to get a rise out of people. There are a lot of...

It reminds me of the cup. If your cup is almost full already the reactions are likely to feel worse than they "should". The less my cup is filled with PTSD junk the easier it is for me to sort it out, but most of the time I'm being irrational because somehow inside of my mind, things like...

"Tell me more, can you back up your car?"

The what to do, is make a decision. If I had to put it out into a process I think I'd do it this way. To be done while all parties are in a "normal" state (not isolating, etc.). When all hell has broken loose it often becomes clear to at least one party that something needs to be done. Put it...

Hey @MaplePancake never forget you are the only one with your experiences. The way you interpreted each situation, every event leading up to the situation, and the people involved, etc make up an experience. Quick sidebar: PTSD cycles by nature, it is possible for a person to do very well for...

Hey Larry, how are you doing?

Hey @thornylennert welcome to the site. You seem really focused on this thread, there are plenty more to be found. Not sure why you're here, but I sincerely hope you're able to find what you're looking for. I noticed you said You start with not wanting to speak ill then went on to speak ill...
