I hate that we are all going through this, but it brings some comfort that we all experience similar situations. I have a hard time making sense of the "I'm done/ I'm leaving/ this isn't working" followed by great times together. It makes it difficult to know what my vet is really feeling and...

Seekinganswers, it sounds like we are dating the same person almost exactly. I feel for you during your difficult times as I am going through the same. I hope you can find support here and feel some calm. I'm always available to talk if you need!

I'm just curious for other carers out there what your average day can look like with your sufferer? More so the " bad" days as I know that when PTSD isn't in the picture we are all floating on cloud 9. I'm just curious what types of situations you find yourself in? How you feel ? How you handle...

While my vet has chosen to get help ( both therapy and medication) it's been a very long road. I feel I am often making the decision to keep in all my own thoughts and feelings as to avoid any type of conflict with him. After a 4 day hiatus of him choosing to not take his medication, the...

Not snarky at all. I suppose I also was directing the question at supporters who have those in their life that they support that aren't on this site.

*** oops pressed the wrong button and posted that too soon. Anyway, he mentioned need to make a doctors appointment for not feeling well and later on in the conversation I said " well I hope you feel better soon." And he got very defensive and was like " what do you mean ?!" And I responded "...

I think it's fair to say that from the supporter point of view we have all found a lot of comfort from reading these forums. We are able to relate to each persons stories in a sense and it is nice to know that we aren't alone. So I'm curious, for those sufferers that read these forums- is there...

Hello all! I've been following this forum off and on for a couple months now and it has brought me comfort when not much else has. Sometimes looking to friends for support seems to get me nowhere. My story goes something like this: I met my boyfriend who was a combat veteran about a year and a...
