    News British Parliament On Lockdown

    Last I saw there were five confirmed dead (including the guy who stabbed the police officer) and over twenty injured. Hubby's (ex Met and MoD police officer, retired due to PTSD) nightmares on overdrive tonight - hence me being on the internet at 0415!

    Emerg Services Police Vet With 19 Years 4 Months With Ptsd Ia Hearing Tomorrow

    My husband was a police officer for 17 years, and he took medical retirement due to PTSD. I appreciate things work differently over here, but I hope you manage to get the equivalent. Let us know how the hearing went when you can.

    Relationship Ever Feel Like You Are Trapped

    @Statsattack nothing wrong with starting your own thread. You want/need support and feedback, so this is how to do it. I just thought you might find the Angry Thread useful in the future. It's good for those times where you want to rant, but can't in real life, and you just need to get it out.

    Relationship Ever Feel Like You Are Trapped

    That is why this forum is so important to so many of us. 'Outsiders' don't understand, and I know I don't tend to tell them much as I worry that they will think hubby is a jerk. To be fair, if a friend came to me and told me her other half did some of the things hubby does, I would probably...

    Relationship Communicating In Writing?

    I'm a supporter and I find it easier to write it out. In the early days I used to write notes to my (now) hubby. Hubby (the one with PTSD) hates it, he has taught and encouraged me to talk about my emotions. He would often refuse to read my notes. He thinks if he writes it down it can be...

    General Treatment...

    Hubby care Co-ordinator once told him it was perfectly normal to want to follow someone home and stab them just because they cut you up. He was also told to try gardening. I've been to a couple of psychiatrist appointments with hubby, a few years ago when he first started medication. They...

    "feelings" Are Something You're Supposed To Talk About?

    Someone who cares about you, or is a nice 'hooman bean', would certainly try not to use your feelings against you. Some will do exactly what you say, and that is because, sadly, the world isn't that straight forward and people can be found on a scale between evil and unintentional w@nker...

    My Mate Bob - What Did I Ever Do Before Him?

    My Roomba (Daisy) was the best at picking up cat fur, far better than my Henry vacuum. However, unlike the online videos of cats riding them, my cat was terrified!

    "feelings" Are Something You're Supposed To Talk About?

    Supporter here. How about because we want to understand you better, and try to make life easier for you? Your life experiences have taught you otherwise, I know that. But this is why we, people who care about you, want to know how you are feeling. Some rubbish examples, but hopefully they...

    Relationship Beware Ptsd Being Used As An Excuse...

    I understand it's difficult, but there isn't that much to understand. The main fact is that your relationship with him is over. And you need to concentrate on your healing and moving forward. If you read through the threads you will see that your scenario isn't that uncommon. PTSD makes life...

    Relationship What To Do When Sufferer Doesn't Want To Discuss Feelings

    So well put @Anarchy! I once, very naively, told hubby he could talk to me about anything. And during our time together he has told me some of the things he saw and experienced as a police officer. The other day he started describing something and I had to ask him to stop. I love horror...
