I was "forced" to try Zoloft, Atarax, and Gabapentin (why???). My latest PCP, lucky number seven, gave me Welbutrin for my anxiety attacks. This time, it worked. My PTSD stemmed from denial of events that happened. After a week on Welbutrin, I was in that strange state of sleep where you can...

Watched that video. That's some powerful stuff. If I can convince her to watch that, then it will be easier for her to realize my improvements. That video sure made me feel good about how I handled the past 8 years and keeping that button from being pushed.

There have been times lately where my pulse rises, my vision narrows, and my chest starts to hurt, but I did what she told me to do and called her. It calmed me down. She still isn't very educated on PTSD, but she knows me well enough to help.

I loaded up the kids and brought her dinner last night while she was working, and I noticed her friends and customers staring at me. She told me later that night that they have never seen me smile and enjoy myself. Her closest friend said, "If he talks to me, then he is definitely changing."...

I do go to the VA, but they take months to schedule any appointments. I have one on December 9th, but I asked for it in June. My PCP gave me an anti-depressant in the meantime. My fourth one. Anyway, I haven't felt this good about myself in years. I'm singing again, like I used to...

We has an amazing conversation last night. She made me realize that we both need this. We need to start over, and she needs to figure out how to handle my problems. I know she won't visit this forum until she is ready, and I am not going to pressure her. I want so badly to tell her that if...

She wants to get together tonight after I get off work, so this is good. I opted to work during Thanksgiving because I couldn't deal with the stress of her family. All week I've been finding excuses to see her or have her and the kids come by, and after finding the words I've been aching to...

I posted this on the MyCombatPTSD.com sister site, but it's not near as active and I need help. I love my wife in ways I didn't think possible. When she smiles, I feel my heart beat faster. When she laughs, I want to cry because it's the most beautiful think I've ever heard. When she talks to...

Thanks. I'm just terrified right now.

I love my wife in ways I didn't think possible. When she smiles, I feel my heart beat faster. When she laughs, I want to cry because it's the most beautiful think I've ever heard. When she talks to me, I hang on to every word. When she's next to me, I know everything is going to be OK. We have...

Hello, I go by Stavi, named after my cat. I was diagnosed with slight PTSD upon discharge from the USAF due to combat exposure, but it's much worse than I led them to believe. Out of fear, I wasn't truthful during the exit psych eval. I've only told two people what happened out there; my wife...
