    Relationship Last ditch effort

    I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. Alcoholism is a terrible illness and is difficult to get to grips with. Even if the drinker wants to give up they can’t without medical help because the withdrawal itself could give them seizures and possibly kill them. In...

    Any One Know Of Any Free Zoom PTSD Self-Care Support Groups?

    No but this sounds like a good idea to start one. I am a supporter of someone with PTSD and would love to talk to other supporters. There’s nobody who understands but people on here do.

    Supporter So is this a place I could talk things out?

    Hi, I came here for the same reasons. When things got tough and there was nobody to talk to about it. You are in the right place. People here have a lot of experience and give good advice. So cry out as much as you want.

    Relationship Is this abuse? If so, what do I do?

    Thank you for the reminder that people do not to need to hit you to be abusive. I totally understand your point. I just feel that when I am describing my husband I have to put it in there that he doesnt hit me because people may assume that he does, or he will soon. That is why I can’t speak to...

    Relationship Is this abuse? If so, what do I do?

    Hi I just wanted to say that I really feel for you. I am going through a similar situation, but thankfully I don’t think it is quite as severe. My husband doesn’t call me names or antagonise me, but he does have approximately 3 weekly meltdowns that can go on for hours and leave us both in tears...

    Relationship Bad Episode

    I’ve just read the whole thread and I can relate so much. Reading this has made me feel much better because you guys know what I am going through. I also know I can leave but don’t want to. I will stick it out, but not if my own mental health is suffering. Since lock down things have got worse...

    Relationship Ups and downs

    We have had a lasting marriage because apart from when the ptsd raises its ugly head we get on well and have a good relationship. With us it comes in cycles. We can have weeks where everything is fine, then they’ll be weeks where everything is a trigger for him and he won’t be very well in his...

    Relationship Ups and downs

    My husband is the same. He struggles with self worth and has angry outbursts, seemingly from nowhere. I love him loads and we have been together for many years but it hasn’t been easy. However, he is a very thoughtful and caring man. He looks after me and talks to me all the time about how he is...

    Relationship Ups and downs

    Hi, im sorry u r having a terrible time you must be very stressed out! I think sometimes mental illness can be an excuse to behave badly. You drove for 10 hours to see him, then he left you in the rain in a town u didn’t know. That is not ok, I don’t care who u r or what your illness is. If I...

    Relationship What are the hardest parts about a PTSD relationship for you?

    The angry outbursts and catastrophising about things that shouldn’t be such a big deal. The going over and over and over the same issues and continually dredging up negative past events that happened years ago. I love her to the moon and back despite all these things though. It’s just very...
