My partner and I had issues last year. We both told stupid lies and I thought when we agreed that it was wrong but put it in the past. My bf doesn’t like me chatting to other males eg work colleagues etc so I make sure I don’t. Tonight my sister had a few people to her house few people from...

I do a monthly session with my vet and the T. My other half attends weekly at the minute. Today my partner began discussing emdr. He attempted this before and each time after from what I took he wasn’t ready to continue and has been putting it off. I understand that the T doesn’t want to...

Sorry If this seems like a stupid question. I kind of feel like my partner is controlling, he has serious trust issues and I’m wondering is this part of PTSD or is this just his underlying personality? We have recently got back together and he gave me all the empty promises; he’d go back to...

9/10 I’m good with dealing with my sh*t, plus his daemons, plus life nonsense that is always there to test you.... This weekend I don’t know what it is... if I’m being honest to myself it’s 99.5% hormones. But I’m so sick of being flat at the bottom of my S.O’s priority pile... Anyone else...

Hi all just wanted to ask if any sufferers out there ever use essentials oils. My partner Thinks using things like this is a lot of nonsense. The last time he was in therapy his T discussed the power of using smells; Finding a smell and putting it on the likes of a handkerchief using it when...

Hi guys. My other half has been doing really great recently. Coming up to the festive period may be a cause because this isn’t a great time of year. To make things worse his ex has stopped him seeing his son, so he has began court proceedings which I can imagine isn’t easy as we might not...

Hi all, I'm beginning to worry about my relationship. I'm not sure if my sufferer is just in a bad place but things seem to be getting worse between us. Every time I try to speak to him I get upset, and then he gets cross because he thinks I'm trying to guilt trip him. Which leads to an...

Just wondering is anyone in the position where their family or friends just don't understand how complex PTSD actually is. I feel it so difficult to discuss how I'm feeling or issues with my vet to my friends or family without them saying "he's just being a brat" "are you going to allow him to...

Hi guys, I want to seek some advise before I do the wrong thing and make things worse by talking to my sufferer. He has military ptsd, has spent some time in a combat treatment centre in Ayr, and weekly sees his therapist. So he is really trying. I'm unsure if I'm looking too far into...
