I was reading some threads and someone mentioned that her sufferer won't ever truly be himself again. Being new to ptsd, I find this forum extremely helpful, and at times, incredibly daunting. So it got me thinking, and to be honest, worrying. Will "parts" of the man I feel in love with always...

I HATE the stupid rules and I hate PTSD. I hate that I have to bite my tongue, walk on eggshells and CONSTANTLY have to put my emotional needs to the side. Emotions!? Oh my God, let's not talk about feelings or emotions because that will just guarantee that you will disappear for a few days. In...

@ihateusernames This is exactly what I tried to do at the beginning. I know that I can't fix him, and I'm not even trying anymore. I'm frustrated because I don't know the severity of it. @Lmm yep, the "why does he talk to others but not me", that part I'm still trying to come to terms with...

No advise to give here, as I am the one who is being pushed. My sufferer and I had a great connection and a loving relationship. Right now he can barely speak to me. Needless to say, I'm keen for any insight

Thank you. When he disclosed his diagnosis with me, I knew very little about ptsd. So after reading up, it all started to make sense to me. At the time though, I didn't know much at all, so after he told me, we talked very briefly about it. He said not telling me before then had nothing to do...

I'm pleased that you mentioned this. I was thinking the same thing yesterday after reading some posts. Im new to ptsd but not new to dealing with my sufferers symptoms. I have read some posts that have left me feeling quite shocked. I can only comment on my personal experience, so much has...

Thank you all for your input. My man shuts down every time I mention anything remotely close to feelings or emotions, because he says he "doesn't understand them". It appears that he has gotten 'worse' over time, so my instinct is to try and step in and help in whatever way I can, but now I...

@ihateusernames. From what little he has told me, I think he experiences this also. thank you

Apologies in advance if I ramble. But honestly, that's ME. I talk, a lot. I talk things through with my man. At least I used to. For the last 4 years we have loved one another unconditionally. He loves me for me. I adore him, and I always will. Its been a year since I started to notice the...

thank you so much. Apologies as I don't know how to navigate this site on my mobile yet. When he told me about his diagnosis it was a very brief "conversation". Since then he has withdrawn more. Right now I don't know what to do. He is pushing me away but I don't want to go. I feel as though...

HI everyone. I'm looking for any information or advise on supporting someone with PTSD. I noticed the severe changes in the man I love about a year ago. I wasn't shocked when he revealed his diagnosis, his symptoms ticked all the boxes. The first thing that I read online when searching for...
