I agree, I dislike showing my weak side, I'm always the strong one. The one who deals with everything so showing my weaker side isn't something I like to do. It's hard too. If I mention something like it to my friends. They put ideas in my head that I don't need because they don't understand...

This is a great reply, I appreciate it. It's funny really I just commented on your post! :) I do focus on my self care, I'm exercising regularly, I bought a new bike and when I feel under pressure .. I go for a long cycle and 40 miles later when I arrive home it's like I've had a couple of hours...

@Dominik24 This brought tears to my eyes reading this, I just posted a very similar post about my relationship. I completely understand how your feeling. Keep your chin up. You have a very special relationship, I can't really advise you because I'm seeking exactly the same answers. :) just want...

Hi everyone, this is a bit of a hard one. I am struggling with making love and intimacy in my relationship... or lack there of. My vet, who's diagnosed but currently not seeing his T has changed a little. We're a few years into our relationship, living together. This is more so about me and...

I could feel my eyes fill up a few times while reading this, Some of the emotions you feel I can completely relate to. The unwanted, lonely but not alone feeling you have. It's not nice. I agree tho, you need to start looking after you, your so deep with all of this your forgetting to look after...

I agree, just get rid of it and say nothing. Hope your feeling ok!! :)

Thanks for these. I was beginning to really feel like it's me being unreasonable. I'm in charge of how someone is allowed to treat me @The Albatross is 100% correct ..Food for thought

Hi All, All in all our relationship is pretty stable. Partner has Diagnosed PTSD, currently prescribed Anti-depressants but itsnt taking them and fell off the wagon with his T, hasn't had a session in about 2 months. Things for the past few months have been superb. Getting on like a house on...

Welcome @PenelopeB Like @Snowflakes said everyone copes very differently. Personally I really like the fundamentals of Al anon. You didn't cause it You can't cure it And you can't control it. Al anon isn't for everyone, I have an alcoholic mother and found Al anon before I even got with my...

I sometimes I feel like that! I think the problem is keeping on top of self care, if therapy would help you, then why not give it a whirl. Give it a try, if it's not for you.. you don't have to return. If you don't feel comfortable telling friends or family, don't. Do what's right for you!! I...

Thanks for the post! It makes sense .. I think my self care is the first thing to slip, I need to make a very conscious effort to look after me or before I know it everything is piled on top of me! Thanks :)

Welcome, I hope you find the info you need on here. Found it really helpful to read lots on here. 3 years in I'm still learning... everyone is very friendly and if you ever need someone to talk to don't hesitate to reach out.. :)

Thank you both for your comments! :))

So I'm just wondering is there a side to PTSD sufferers who are selfish, or due to the suffering does he need to just focus completely on himself. This is just an example of Sunday, maybe I'm giving it too much time in my head. I just feel so sick of being at the bottom of the pile. Perhaps...

Agree with @TheMinsterman I had this exact feeling for a while. I was beginning to seriously worry about my own mental stability. I felt very down and lonely, even if I was surrounded by people. could cry at a sad song on the radio or something as little as the soaps on TV. I had been very...

@TheMinsterman Thank you!! You sound like your speaking from experience and I appreciate all the advice.

@TheMinsterman Thank you for the comments. My only fear with detaching is that we just grow further and further apart but I guess I have nothing to loose. It's so strange how someone else can control your emotions if you allow it. I think your right tho about the not noticing changes, usually i...

I have a feeling this post is going to be all over the place .. just bare with me! Lol So my story is much the same as lots of you. First year and some together was the most magical year of my life. I believed I found my soulmate. We had this incredible relationship everything made sense. We...

About 1 week is all, he just rarely is this quiet, or wants to be completely alone, some days he's staying in bed to 3pm (could be a factor of the medication too) it's just been a tough week, he was put back on medication after being off it for 2 years and I'm so worried about him.

Thanks !!! These are all helpful!! Time to focus on me!! X Appreciate your replies

I'm just praying for the same kind of text or phone call or just the day my sufferer comes home for a cuddle, if it will ever come, who knows? But being supportive even from afar is all we can do!! I'm so happy that things are getting better!! :) It's true, there's light at the end of the...

I am right here going through the exact same love story!!! Go and read my last post, I can guarantee you can relate to almost all of it. It's not easy, I can understand .. you feel unloved, unappreciated, unattractive. It's such a hard place to be!!! I know. I'm going through the same...

@TheMinsterman I really appreciate your reply. It helped me. Since then things have got progressively worse. He has been put back on medication. Which he isn't even taking properly. Sleeping a lot more, not eating properly, completely isolating himself. I'm really worried about him. I feel...

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...

Read, read and read some more... knowledge is key! I've been on here for a little while now and you will be shocked at how much you will relate to. (Just as you have) everyone is in the same position and I find extremely helpful and non-judgemental. I'm sorry your having a hard time ATM.. it...
