Hi all, sorry feeling on a real downer today. I've been posting for a little while after meeting an incredible guy - a combat vet with diagnosed PTSD who is having counselling. Everything was fantastic, as I see a lot here, and I genuinely believe he is a very good man who is in a very bad...

Phew, so glad @Chelle :). Hope you have a lovely day

@Chelle sorry if I've offended somehow or you misunderstood what I was saying - not my intention at all.

Really good and interesting to catch up on the posts. I would say from my own viewpoint as a new...and struggling...supporter I perhaps word my posts generally and inadvertently suggest all those with PTSD suffer 100% the exact same thing and I sincerely apologise for that. From what I...

Don't get me wrong I'm definitely up and down with the whole thing, struggling with missing him and not knowing what's going on - definitely had a blip yesterday - but having been in an abusive (non PTSD) relationship I can recognise signs better of unhealthy and abusive behaviour and will not...

Casey_03 thanks so much for posting. I think you raise some extremely valid points. For my part posting regarding isolation is in a way trying to make sense of things and just getting out of my system what I can't say to my guy right now. Plus it can be a very lonely place as a supporter (a very...

Thanks so much both. I'm just toddling along with my life at the moment - I hope he comes back. His guilt and his feeling that he's not what I deserve seem to be 'winning' at the moment (not his choice I am absolutely sure) and I feel very helpless. Sending you both lots of smiles if that's ok :)

Sorry everyone, my post sounds so self-pitying - it wasn't meant to, I'm just confused to be honest :bored:

I can't see any other ending to this...not my choice though. So after he came round on Sunday and getting the lovely card I've heard absolutely nothing. After an incident a few weeks ago I needed to explain some things so gave him a letter on Sunday - I thought it was fair for both of us that...

Hi all :) I've been thinking today about where my combat vet is at the moment, really not in a good place at all. My question is regarding self-worth, a recurrent theme with him at the moment is that I deserve better and him 'wishing he could be the person I deserve'. Now to me he's everything...

Amack - absolutely see your point on this. For me I've chosen to stay but it is with my eyes wide open. I'll be honest I have gently questioned when I think something is straying into the realms of non-PTSD behaviour, purely because I have had very bad experiences in the past, I tread very...

And the reason I say that partly that my combat vet doesn't see that right now but he is worth all the love in the world :)

Yay for all those lovely Valentine's gifts - to yourself or someone else...and hey if we can't spoil ourselves who can - I don't mean that glibly - just that each and every one of you deserve love and try never to forget that :joyful:

Haha and so you should but spoil yourself - go for a $6 one :)

To all you wonderful, amazing, beautiful and courageous sufferers and supporters alike. Whether you are a sufferer and are in isolation or a good place or a supporter who loves someone in isolation or things are going well I send you all huge hugs. Today I got the most beautifully worded card...

Msconfused - I, like you, am very new to the world of PTSD and am by nature an anxious person when it comes to relationships...well I say by nature but in reality it's being treated badly too many times. I do get why you're hurting so much but I honestly think if I hadn't read and thought about...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here but being very new to the world of PTSD this site has been invaluable in gaining knowledge, an understanding and the feeling of you're not alone in your experiences as a supporter. Today I decided to post, today I feel so sad, confused and helpless. Briefly I recently...
