Ah I see, so sorry I miss understood. Yep, its easy to mask the issues, however you need no explanation. I wish you the best, I hope you accept him, he may just be cautious to not "set you off" by initiating contact.

This is the hardest part for me, to see the impact on the loved ones. I cant speak directly for your significant other, but odds are he no longer has a clue who he is and all his energy is spent staying "Normal" if you can hold threw this, he may owe his life to you. I know I owe as much to my...

Hi Vincent, and welcome. I spent some time with the Dr's on understanding the night anxiety spikes and I finally found a decent one who could explain it well. Apparently when your are at full rest that is when your mind tries to sort and organize memories and thoughts into the most logical...

Thanks again guys, just wanted to update you about the meds. It seems it was too good to be true, may be from my pain med (tramacet) or the cipralex, or the xanax or the combination. Starting to have very tired eyes, and double vision... not good, and im not even tired. 2 days like this, i'll...

Oh! and also get them on this forum! It is a invaluable way for them to come to terms mentally that things will subside and gives us a feeling of not being alone which most believe they are even though they know thats not the case. I wish I had found this years ago instead of yesterday.

You girls are fantastic. My fiancee was in the exact same boat for a few years, it takes time. I truly beleive that while PTSD is horrible to live with, it is even harder to love someone with PTSD. Because while the diagnosed can express what they are feeling and vent and get treatment you feel...

Thanks Amethist, These resources are invaluable, wish I would have found them years ago.

Hi Watchdog, Multiple diagnosis is not a money saving scheme. They will reasign diagnosis to PTSD after over a year has passed and you are still having issues, and receiving treatment. I was originally diarnosed with Anxiety disorder and depression (and after a year or so severe PTSD) due to...
