    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Ok just another update. So I think he is just about out of isolation. This time was a little different. This one was about 6.5 weeks so a little shorter. He also was not as communicative with calling and texting...but still in touch. He also had irritated me more this time and I basically...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Just updating. My boyfriend came out of isolation in October and we celebrated my birthday back in October. Since then we have had constant contact and visits with few shorter timeframes of isolation and low contact...but he has never stopped calling and texting. He is definitely cyclical and...

    General Volunteering and helping other people - can it be a symptom of ptsd?

    Hearing this now makes sense. I remember attending my BF family’s funeral and he kept coming to check on me and then eventually asked me to come sit next to him. Then maybe 20 mins later he basically said can u go back to the hotel, that way I can wrap up things and not worry about u. I was...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Thank u. I will definitely make sure that I do that. Thank u. Feels good talking to him. He is initiating all the contact right now and asking to go out on dates. I am just observing, listening, and responding.

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Just wanted to give an update. After about 8 weeks of semi-isolation (I had not seen him in 8 weeks but he kept in some form of short contact at least every 2 to 3 days or so and then it increased more toward the last 2 weeks).....he finally called one day and was sounding very cheerful. He...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Just an update. He is still isolating in that I have not physically seen him in about 6.5 weeks but he communicates more frequently and in more in depth conversations. He calls every 1 to 2 days. He just started to run (which I had asked him to do when he started feeling symptomatic in July)...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Hey hey. I think I am just writing to document my experience with my BF and get feedback. I recognize that he is more communicative than some of the other sufferers in isolation (funny I still wish it was more?). Nonetheless....I am trying to take him at his word when he says me just sending...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Just received another phone call from BF...he still sounds calm and not like his mind is racing as bad. I asked how he was doing and he says he feels better but right now (with the demands of his work) he is still experiencing moments/short explosions of anger inside and that he is trying to...

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    So BF called on last night and this time he was not talking nonstop and he did not sound like his mind was all over the place (last phone call a couple of days ago he talked about 15 mins straight telling me things we had already discussed before he went into isolation). This time he did not say...

    . That makes sense. This is all so interesting with similar patterns. And I agree contact is definitely a good thing.

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    Ha!! I hear u about trying not to dissect....I will definitely try not to but me being analytical by nature makes that complicated. I do research for a living! ??. Fortunately guessing wrong does not make me anxious though.

    General Are these signs of coming out of isolation?

    I agree we cannot really guess what is going on in his brain. But I just find it interesting trying to. Not sure if it was a check in text because he sent one of those about 2 hours earlier. This text was different then his typical check in texts he sends that primarily says hi and asks how...
