    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    Okay. Thank you so much. I’ll let him know and definitely keep an eye out. I really appreciate you telling me!

    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    Wow. Thank you for the detailed response. You put everything into perspective for me and showed me I can’t live in this fantasy world. I do believe in us, but this time around, I feel like I’m a stronger individual too. I’ll look into the links that you sent me so I can gather more research...

    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    I appreciate you for responding once again. He hasn’t gotten much sleep since then, and I did talk to him about boundaries and what to do if things do get a bit too difficult. I’m reminding him that he’s got me and that I’m in this for the long haul, and that he’s the strongest person I know.

    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    Thank you for your response. I’m not sure yet how he will react to it, but they are telling him that he will be paired with some type of medication that they are still researching on to see if it will help with the therapy. We have broken up before because he didn’t want me to be around for what...

    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    Thank you for responding. It’s giving me more insight on what to expect. We moved in together so, it’s a bit of a different playing field than before but this, I believe, is his first time doing exposure therapy. He’s done group sessions and the like and absolutely hated it. But I will...

    General Provide insight on “Exposure Therapy”?

    Hi everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here. A little update: my boyfriend will be undergoing exposure therapy and he is not looking forward to it. In addition, he warned me that the next twelve weeks are going to be exceptionally difficult. He was in the Marines and have been...

    Relationship Boyfriend struggling?? — How can I help?

    Well, I’m not sure if my boyfriend mentioned that he’s struggling to his brother though. It’s all assumptions, but my boyfriend does seem like he wants to get better and get the help he needs.

    Relationship Boyfriend struggling?? — How can I help?

    Hi, everyone. So, I just realized how bad my boyfriend is struggling. This past week, he was drinking excessively to a point where he snapped at his roommate. Needless to say, the roommate kept prying and digging but anyway... His bro said that my boyfriend’s an alcoholic, suicidal, and...

    General What are they thinking?

    My situation down to the T. It may not have been the words that have come from my ex-boyfriend's mouth, but this is mainly what he was telling me when he said he doesn't want me around for when he's getting help. He says I'll be "okay" and I'll find "better." It pains me to know that he's going...

    just saying - "I push you away to protect you from ME"

    I really needed to see this, especially since my boyfriend just ended things with me because of the therapy he will be going through after almost ten years of suppressed memories. He's finally getting help, and he told me he doesn't want me to be a part of that process. At the time, I was hurt...

    My ptsd partner left me - now what?

    This recently just happened to me. My ex and I were together for over a year. He had shared things about his time in the military and I knew he wasn't getting help for his PTSD. I noticed a change during the holidays. He had dropped out of school because his original plan to do what he wanted...

    We broke up.

    Yeah, I saw him symptomatic many times.
  14. J

    We broke up.

    Yeah, maybe. He did say "we'll see." He hadn't gotten help in almost ten years, and I know this is his last resort (his words). I guess I'm at a loss right now.
  15. J

    We broke up.

    Well, he definitely didn't want to test it. He's putting himself first and he's looking out for himself. It just hurts so so much. I was even doing more research on PTSD just so I can get a better understanding. It doesn't feel real to me. He doesn't even want anyone to be there for him or to be...
