As I posted before, last night was the worst since the fire. However, I've decide to try and look at the positive. 1) His symptoms showed up early, which means he has a better chance of a positive result from therapy. 2) He is actively seeking help, instead of denying the problem. 3) He is...

My husband is a super stoic person. The only time I have ever seen him cry was when our daughter was born. He's having a really rough night. The neighbours cats kept jumping all over the place (we live in a duplex) which woke him up everytime. Then we were just about asleep when I passed gas...

Yes, thankfully we live on a base in the same city as my whole family. We are lucky to have a lot of support. Thankfully my daughter is for the most part a pretty relaxed kid. I'm hoping that doesn't change. My husband isn't a vet though he's still serving.

I think it's confusing for him. He's happy to be home, but feels like he deserted his men. I'm afraid of being needy, I know I need to respect his boundries right now. I'm trying to find the line of his needs and mine. It's just been a rough few days. Plus Im extra sensitive due to the...

I feel that it is partly my fault my husband is struggling. The military sent the guys with medical situations and heavily pregnant wives home first after the accident. I was only 30 weeks pregnant when it happened. The base prioritized him coming home. It led to him getting ripped out of the...

I have a 15 month old and am due in 5 weeks with number two. I'm really worried about how the stress of the newborn will affect him.

He is depressed, currently his diagnoses is acute stress disorder ( his ship had a catastrophic fire that took 11 hours to get out and left them dead in the water). He is seeing someone and we are going to start couples counselling as well. His unit just tried to send him out to see for another...

The more I think about it, the more I think he is just going through a rough patch. On Thursday we were at a friends house and apparently someone overheard him gushing about how much he loves me and our daughter. It's giving me hope.

The last few days my husband has been really struggling. The only time he seems somewhat happy is when he is playing with our daughter, I guess it's a good thing he still plays with her. He used to be super affectionate with me and now isn't at all, not violent just ambivalent. We cuddle at...

Thanks! For some reason I was under the impression it was earlier than that for diagnoses. I just keep reminding myself that I have to take it day by day, and that when he is distant it isn't him.

Thanks, I know that Dr. Google has done us all a disservice. Internet diagnoses are dangerous, you are right. I'm overly worried because we have a toddler and are expecting baby number two in a few weeks. I'm going to go with him to one of his sessions soon, to hear what the counsellor...

About 6 weeks ago my Husband's ship had a catastrophic fire. They all thought they were going to die, as a fire on ship is about the worst thing to happen. After 11 hours the got the fire out, and were stranded without power until another ship came to help. Two days later they had another, but...
