I've only been to the hospital once. But it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I enjoyed it actually. Have you ever been?

What are you afraid of?

I don't have PTSD however, I have a mental illness. Sounds to me like you need to go. I try to keep away from hospitals to the best of my ability. But if your asking this question then most likely you know you need to go. It's ok to go into the hospital Hun.

At least instead of getting offended you guys are using humor. That's great! You all are very resilient people.

You guys crack me up! Too funny.

Doing things for others helps take my mind off the PTSD winning the battle. plus I like helping people, it's my nature. Today I gave a man raw hides for his new puppy. He was walking his pup so I stopped to pet her. He was complaining she chews everything and that he forgot to buy rawhides. So...

We both went no contact for six months. Both our mental illnesses were going haywire. We were trying to move on too. Didn't work. I still love the man. Sigh

As some of you know, I keep my options open. Though I love my Vet with all of my heart. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. The date was wonderful. We walked in the park and listened to live music. Then went to Longhorn steak house. After we went to a desert parlor my treat. I really...

I'm sorry your going through this. Have you tried Al anon support groups? And I make a lot of friends in AA. It isn't good to numb your pain. I'm going through what you are and believe me the pain is all too intense sometimes. I'm on anti depressants but not necessarily because of him. For my...

I'm really grateful him and I didn't bring a child into the world. He asked me to have his baby a year and a half ago and I knew it wouldn't be good. So I never really gave him an answer. I just was scared because I was in active addiction back then. I wrote him an email letting him know I've...

I almost wish he would stop telling me he loves me. Because I get this false hope that things would get better between us. He is still not answering my texts or calls. It's been about two weeks since we spoke last. I'm afraid I'm gonna just go ahead and block his number and move on. He's an...

In other words? I'm not sure what that means either....

How do I edit my posts? I found a type o. And mispelled words.

When my sufferer and I talk about subjects that are really emotional for him he hangs up the phone. I remember one time he was telling me he wish he could feel in love everyday. I guess referring to emotional numbness. He hung up the phone after he said that. This was a convo from a while back...

I felt her writing about PTSD was a bit misplaced in this book. Kind of a random topic. I have loved her other books but I'm not enjoying this book as much as the others. There's too many random topics and not enough about the topic at hand. I can see how this description would affend a reader...

I just happened across it. Not knowing if it's true. It was just one persons opinion who has PTSD. The book is a codependency/story of an addict. So I'm not sure why she even placed something about that illness in this particular book. I was curious as to what others think about it.

"People who have PTSD have three basic feelings, when something, anything happeneds, they feel afraid. Then they lash out in anger at what has frightened them. Then they go numb. Occasionally they get so bored with being numb, they go out and do something that creates, or causes pain. That pain...

Aww that's so sweet. Thanks for sharing!

I'm am so glad I'm not the only one going through this stuff!!!!

We actually didn't talk for six months. Before our last contact. Which was kind of my fault. I was having a hard winter. I have bi polar disorder and pre menstrual dysphoric disorder so I have a hard time in the winter. he probably was having a hard time too. He is so forgiving of my illness.

No I haven't seen him in a year and a half. He lives in another state than me. We haven't spoken on the phone in ten days. Which is common for my sufferer. Mine has blocked me before which was when he lived in my state. but unblocked me after he got space.

Since I spoke to my favorite person in the world. He told me ten days ago that he wants to hear from me. He told me ten days ago that he loves me. So every couple of days I'd text with no expectation of a response and no response. I also called him once after five days, no answer, no call back...

What are your triggers in relationships? How does one attempt to not trigger their loved one with PTSD?

Oops meant to post that on ur wall lol
