As a sufferer this makes so much sense to me. I couldn't put into words before. I totally get what your saying & agree, thank you.

Congratulations! Your not alone in feeling like that. I was just past the 6 month waiting period when I was cut off workmens comp & applied for SSDI. I was approved with in 10 weeks time & the money was in my bank. I didn't even know it. As thankful & happy as I was to get it, I also was shocked...

Totally agree they are not cheep. The one I wanted was close to $300 after tax & shipping. I watched Rob Appell of man sewing & a few others. They show you how & what to do. I have & know the basics of a sewing machine. If you have a friend that has a sewing machine maybe they will help you...

Thank you all. Love hearing what everyone else does.

Thank you all for some really great ideas. Your idea of a duvet cover would work good for me. I already have an extra duvet cover. I think I'll just sew some weight in the corners & sides. Then keep it in the trunk of my car. Thank you.

I spent the night at someone else's house a few months ago. I didn't have my weighted blanket but thought it would be ok. I didn't want to discuss it at the time with him. I woke up at 3:00 am from a recurring nightmare from being stalked. I didn't have my weighted blanket to help me calm down...

Thank you for your support.

Reading this I cried because it's sad & I know your right if I am understanding what your saying. My T keeps trying to get me to ask myself the same thing. I'm not sure if I understand my feelings right or I am not ready to admit to those feelings I do have in this area. It makes me feel weak &...

Wow, you put that so well, I totally feel that. Thank you. I dated a guy who had ptsd. I can say I also didn't go through the normal panic or testing or anything like that either. I think because I felt so much safer because we understood what the other was going through & how to respond. It...

First I want to say thank you. It's been a long hard process. Every one is different. Men are hard wired differently. Also you have to keep in mind that he might not really feel or able to see what's happening & how that it's affecting you. So it's not necessary that he isn't respecting you...

Your right it is very hard when the pushing away starts. No one wants to have that happen. But I was told once to look at it this way. It's different for each person but it made sense to me. When the pushing starts it's not about the supporter. Its about the sufferer that is stressed &...

As I know each sufferer responds and heals on a different timetable. I feel the best I am able to feel for you supporters as in what has been said. It has to be very difficult. It's taken me years & I still hear at times I'm just not open enough or they feel I don't care. On good days that...

I'm sorry that you have tried so hard & not have it come out as you would of liked. It's never easy. Relationship can be hard enough with out adding in ptsd. The response he gave I can relate to very well for I have said almost the exact thing to a few guys. I totally get the feeling one gets...

Sorry I have not read your posts. So I don't know all the details. Just from reading this post I can say a combat vet with ptsd has more & some additional & different issues to cover. My doctor has explained it a little bit to me when I have asked about it. From what your telling me is, your a...

Yes it is a catch 22. I was diagnosed in 2006 so I had to start somewhere. I didn't start trying to date for the first 5 years. I just worked on myself. Then when I did try to it brought up a lot of anxiety I just didn't know I had. It was horrible. Learning to trust is so very hard for me. I...
