When I posted on here before with similar stories I was totally misunderstood. However this thread I understand 100% what you're going through on this post! all of you. For me, I took my boyfriend back now, only because he is proving that he is willing to cooperate with therapy. So far since our...

Is he recognising his PTSD and willing to seek help for it. My "s.o" did pretty much the same thing as he has done to you, even the fb blocking. He was well aware of how much I loved him, well aware of my support but I did step away from him. Things have got better for us, so far, after a...

No I haven't heard of the Bowen family systems, something I will read though. I understand what you say about red flags, but yes if I had the same sentiment, I wouldn't be sat here on a forum looking for answers as to what happens to a persons ability to have a relationship and trust after...

Justmehere, yes, you hit the nail on the head x combat veterans with PTSD have decreased blood flow in the area of the medial prefrontal cortex. I believe there is decreased volume in the hippocampus, this is also significant in childhood abuse/neglect. To my knowledge he was not sexually...

Snow angel, you never read any of it properly. Not once did I say he was joking? Nobody did. Justmehere I agree very much, those that have experienced real abuse and threats or those currently suffering anxiety would of course recognise that sentence as an alarm or the most part to stand out...

Your tone is fairly patronising if I am honest. Would you imagine for a minute, I am an intelligent, well balanced 35 year old. If I believed him to be a danger I would have sought help in the police. His own mum was murdered by her bf, something he is all to aware of is domestic abuse. in all...

Depending on the severity of trauma and support received you can recover from PTSD. I am doubtful that continuous abuse and the post war PTSD may only recover to a degree however. And yes I in the capacity of support and friend I stand by this person who is currently unwell and embarking on a...

Really really sorry to hear that you were hospitalized for the self harming. It must be so difficult to go through. Do you trust people you get romantically involved with? He told me loved me so soon. I didn't say it, but said things were good and I was enjoying this. It was a few days later the...

I genuinely believe that perhaps from what you read, you absorb slightly more intensely that perhaps I feel it. When we are together, spending time together, the worst of his emotion is a quiet and depressive mood, or tapping knee and puffing too regularly on his e-cig. There is never an...

I have not researched this no. It is something I have heard social workers sometimes get. I do know a lady who was a social worker and had a nervous breakdown after dealing with a certain case. I'm not sure if it is the same thing though...

No. I went through a horrible phase when I was terminally ill. I was having CBT and then post transplant when PTSD was at its worst I saw a transplant psych. I'm also lucky where I work, it's like daily therapy. The scariest past of anxiety and depression is not knowing and not understanding...

Think some of the stuff said here is the most I can relate to. I see all of these traits in my "significant other" x

I can't haven't won't save him. He will always have PTSD. I did source the therapy for him, but he went of his own accord. X

I have read through similar posts and there are many people giving feed back or replies are often quick to say that the partner of the PTSD sufferer is being abused. Ignorance, withdrawal, negativity, out bursts, disappearing acts and rudeness are sadly all common traits of PTSD. Extreme...

Just me here, I believe he has a form of alcoholism. The psych team have told him he is NOT an alcoholic, but using it to deal with symptoms. He works on an oil rig and is is solely responsible for the well being and emergency trauma care there. There is no alcohol on rigs. I let him it rock...
