He didn’t have the money to go when he was unemployed and I don’t know how their social services for that work over there or if he even know about it. If he can’t afford to move out right now, he’s stuck living with his mom, and it is wrong to allow someone to live somewhere and then just...

We didn’t know about the PTSD at that point, but I know from a lot of Japanese people I’ve worked with and gone to church with that mental health care in Japan is not good compared to here. I’ve been researching ways to help and I thought he was just a narcissist at first and I told him I...

I’m done with this site and all of your judgmental comments! I’m trying to get help for this situation and this is in no way helpful! You don’t know the full situation and you’re just telling me to give up on him! He wants help and doesn’t know where to start and I’m trying to find a place for...

I have been on the phone with him multiple times when he was symptomatic. I know it could be worse if we were together longer, which is why I was scared to visit or let him visit until I knew he was a bit more mentally stable and that I knew what to avoid doing so I wouldn’t set him off over...

It’s an avoidance symptom. He told me he plays them so he won’t think about the bad memories or things that are stressing him out and will start panicking over the things he was trying not to think about when he has to stop playing his games. The symptoms of PTSD can be divided into three...

So how would you explain ALL of the symptoms that are the exact same as PTSD? Sudden flashbacks and calling me up in the middle of the night crying about a nightmare about his dad beating him, withdrawing from me and his family and friends, getting physically ill and having panic attacks at the...

... Yeah, I hope so. There’s been some gradual improvement before, but I’m just really glad that I finally understand what’s going on a bit more. And thank you for your replies and concern. It is really helpful.

Me and the guy from work were just hanging out and nothing relationship related was discussed, but I feel terrible about lying to my boyfriend and losing his trust. It was last year but I know he still cants trust me and it’s my fault we didn’t get to see each other last year, but why would you...

Addiction is connected to PTSD. Not particularly gaming addiction. I’m concerned that I can’t fix the damage I’ve done to our relationship. If he already has trust issues and now resents me for what I did, is it hopeless? This was something I did a year ago but I still feel like I did something...

Like I said myself, I realized I was making excuses for what I was doing at that time. He would blackmail me so I was concerned. I couldn’t talk to him about our problems and then I would get threatened when I tried to get out of the relationship so I felt trapped and didn’t care about our...

He doesn’t take it out on me because of her, but she ends up making him withdraw and have panic attacks. I think my inability to understand and trying to force him out of his withdrawals caused a majority of the arguments we’ve had. I don’t want to isolate his mother from him, he can go see her...

Aside from those 3 months in person, we’ve had over 2 years of talking on the phone and texting. I’ve heard about his past, and I’ve heard his mental breakdowns and had him call me in the middle of the night sobbing because of nightmares about his dad beating him or something. He has a hard time...

I’m 20 and he’s 22. We were together for about 3 months total in person and 2 years it’s been long distance.... He had planned on coming here to visit In February, until I broke up with him that December, and then he spent his savings and told me he didn’t trust me so he didn’t want to come to...

My boyfriend does the same where I ask for more time together and he ignores it, then when it comes up in an argument he’s told me similar things like he cant talk to me or that I’m always so predictable so we have nothing to talk about. But he also says “I want to talk to you”, “I miss spending...

Not too much because he’s been busy with work... Yesterday I texted him about it and he didn’t really respond, which I expected, but today he said “thank you for everything recently”...

Threatening to leave my boyfriend over issues that now seem to be attributed to his PTSD (withdrawal, sudden anger outbursts, gaming addiction, etc), and almost using it as a way to get him to finally “take me seriously” that it was a problem... breaking up with him shortly before Christmas...

I can sort of relate to you. I feel like my boyfriend takes his stress out on me sometimes... recently it’s been mostly him shutting down and avoiding me for a long time, but he used to start arguments over things that didn’t even seem to be an issue or worth arguing about and then act like I...

I feel like I may have unintentionally triggered him before I knew. We got in a lot of arguments, and I was constantly threatening to leave, sometimes from the anger and sometimes just from him shutting me out.... and it would make him hysterical, and when his crying stopped effecting me I would...

My boyfriend suffers from undiagnosed/untreated PTSD caused by both his parents abusing him. He lives with his mom overseas and before either of us realized he had PTSD, he’s been trying to save up to move here, and I’ve been saving up to move out on my own as well. When we started having...

I don’t know if there are even good therapist near where he lives, or how much it costs, but I don’t think he can afford it (he’s overseas rn). He went to a dr once but I don’t know what he told the dr or if they were even a specialist but they just told him he was selfish and didn’t diagnose...

He had no clue about the PTSD. I realized he had it because my mom was diagnosed with it, they had some similar symptoms, and similar upbringing. I was going to try and move him in with me once I get my own place so he wouldn’t be around the trauma all the time like he is now, and since he can’t...

Yes. I don’t know if it could have been that he was already having a panic attack or something and I didn’t realize what was going on and would insist on him calling me or talking about things that maybe have stressed him out. Sometimes it was an ongoing situation that I guess he was stressing...

No, just emotionally (^^;

That is really helpful information! Thank you! His English isn’t very good right now. We do go to a Japanese church so I could try and ask if they know of anyone too. Yes

My boyfriend has PTSD, he hasn’t seen a therapist for it... He’s been emotionally abusive on and off through our relationship... He will suddenly get angry and say hurtful things and if I try to breakup with him he’ll get hysterical and then start gaslighting me... I was really scared of him...
