I wish id stuck by not listening to the news. My sufferer has retired from the news. I should have done the same! I hate this, turns me feakshow today. I hate militairy conditioning. I hate the fn wiring for.survival, creating a sense of control over the forever uncontrollably of survival which...

Oh boy, now that you said your kids lived him,and know him well that's tough. I don't know what to say, I hope for you he can rationalize enough to keep at least friendship. It took a lot of distance first for me to go back to that. It's really tough when you had a physical intimate...

Ever since moving to Canada, getting introduced to Thanksgiving, it has been a diner invitation with a family with other immigrants to Canada, that have no family in this country (hosts included). Very comforting experience, my firts 'turkey importance' also.

Not being able to talk to friends about it is something I can relate to. It didn't help the situation. For me its not the writing, but more the reading on this site that made such a great difference. Glad that you're not sorry for having taken action. The anger about the trust thing having to...

Let him cool off, I can see why the anger but not how you should be the taget of it. If he knows you well, wouldn't he have 'predicted' such a reaction from you after making the comment? . Better you act, although unsure, that's what the help you called in did too. You don't want to be living...

If you feel you should be done with a friendship than fine. When your on a one way street, but your ok with that, strong enough and looking out for yourself, then fine. I'd say trust your own instinct's. Your staying loyal to yourself that way and i find it helps. For me personally a friendship...

How could that possibly be, cats (unlike dogs) don't even love unconditionally! . There's nothing pathetic about your cat's comforting you, on the contrary that's wonderful !. I can relate to what you are saying about friends and family not understanding. I went through that while romantically...

The only one I can turn to is my cat. She's such a comfort to me. Pathetic

Got booted of not realizing my post went through. What I experienced is that if you have survived a disaster that was know to people all over (my country) all over the national news etc, even after over a decade, they autimatically expect you to have issues to this day. Same with wars everyone...

Yes Returningsmile, Ppl can hurt from trauma without having PTSD, # 3. For me the difference seems to be (I was a supporter of someone diagnosed with combat PTSD) seems to be the frequency of symptoms. For me the nightmares are not as frequent, flashbacks and triggers aren't the same, but I...

Hi abstract, I could not vote because empathy and compassion to me are totally different. As a supporter to a sufferer (from combat PTSD), I can only have sympathy and compassion. I was diagnosed with acute stress disorder years ago and can have empathy for symptoms, but never empathy ( I...

Your welcome TandL s mum, of course my ex (veteran) is an adult and I'm not sure of your sons age. The dog can even sense an upcoming bad episode beforehand. With children and animals there's always the responsibility of care taking, I'm not a parent myself, but I've heard from friends that it...

All I can tell you is that my ex-boy friend, who suffers from severe PTSD has his dog. It is not a dog that is trained for this, but he s told me that having his dog, has helped him through the most darkest times in his life. Just imagine what a trained dog could mean !.

I apologies for the typos my phone auto corrects hope you can make.some sense of.my msg

Closure that's a tough one, still for myself too although it will be a year come Christmas that my ex boyfriend went totally awal out of the blue and there was a complete communication brake down. We had contact after this mostly me calling at least 1x a month. Its a form of protection but at...
