I'm sorry you are dealing with the same thing. I haven't reached out to him for two weeks (soon to be three). I have just considered myself single since we haven't talked in over a month. I hope your situation turns out better than mine has.

Does anyone else have a completely impossible time setting boundaries? I have an anxious preoccupied attachment style and have never been good at this. Suggestions?

I love this! Thank you!!!

Thanks, I did tell him the last time he called me selfish that I really COULD NOT handle him calling that ANYMORE. Maybe that is what this is all about, he cannot control me so he doesn't know what to do. Yes, he can be verbally abusive and no I do not want to tolerate it. The worse thing is...

Thank you @Applecore I took the time to read this and I do see where I can be anxious. I guess I'm just searching for answers that I may never find.

Now I have a nagging feeling that he's cheating on me and that what all of this is about. He has been active on Facebook messenger but wants me to leave him alone. It's all coming together now.

Now begins week three. I still have his stuff here at my house and vice versa. I want so badly to just text him but I am not going to. The first week I asked him if we were ok? He said that he didn't know, we needed to talk but he was ready for bed and would text me tomorrow. I anxiously...

What is the longest period of time you were symptomatic? Were there small things that added up to it? My boyfriend seems to have started with intrusive memories, then no energy from not sleeping, not going to work, not remembering things, not wanting to talk to anyone, and now isolation.

Thank you, I think I will do that. You're absolutely correct, it's his responsibility not mine. I have spent the last two weekends with my friends. Thank God for them! I'm very lucky to have such a great support system and equally happy that I've found this forum. I am confused if this is ptsd...

Thank you so much. I'm trying so hard every second of every day. I can only pray that he sees the same things in me as you do. Thank you again for your so very kind words they do help me feel that i can continue doing whatever is necessary and make sure I'm checking in with myself too.

Thank you. I'm just so confused and I'm in constant mental turmoil. I just wish I had answers and I don't know that I'm strong enough to deal with the silence I get from him. It's been 2 weeks now and he is so emotionless like I mean nothing. I dont hear a word from him when we would be in...

Thank you! I came here for some answers and unfortunately, what I am reading is that the sufferer ghosts the supporter and then leaves. Is that that what happened with you?

Just to update, now he just wants to be alone and doesn't want to be bothered. I haven't reached out to him. He won't tell me if we're over or together just he wants to be alone. I'm doing okay, but I'm afraid I've lost him.

He knows he isn't doing well. We've been together a year and a half but have known each other 30+ years. He was diagnosed some time before our relationship. He doesn't think anything will help, he has told me this. I worry so much about him and his well being. Currently I think he's recovering...

Thank you. I have known him for about 25 years and I have always thought so highly of him. I never knew the demons he was dealing with. He has such a big heart when he isn't in this hypervigilance/ isolation period or being triggered. I have researched so much, I know he needs time alone to...
