Thanks for your advice @joeylittle . For me it comes back to never having experienced this before and it's completely different to me. I'm gaining a lot of information on the subject in this forum that has already been helpful. I don't have any friends who have experienced this either and to be...
Thanks and I hope things work out for you too. I hear you with everything you said. I did the same thing, kept contacting when he wouldn't respond and got really upset bc he wasn't responding and it wasn't like him. But now I know that "I need to be alone for a while" means just that and as hard...
Makes sense and I honestly don't know much. I wanted to discuss it and then he was hospitalized and obviously now is not the time. We started talking and hit it off but I know it complicates things and that could also be why he's not speaking to me right now. This isn't something I expected...
Thank you for the kind words. You're going to make me cry and I've literally cried everyday for weeks over this. He's a special guy and I really care about him and think alot now from what I've learned, about PTSD and those daily 22. That is one thing that worries me but he has assured me 2...
Oh it's extremely hard and emotionally exhausting, at least for me, to not be able to help and to not even be able to talk to him, even worse. It's in my nature to help those who are hurting and this breaks my heart so I'm trying to read and understand as best as I can what he is going through...
He was hospitalized and told me what happened. I didn't talk to him long enough when we spoke last to know if he's in therapy. I honestly don't know if he was in treatment in the past either, before I knew him. He told me what happened that caused the trigger. I understand that he will have to...
This makes a lot of sense to me and I feel like I'm going through the exact same thing right now. I keep telling myself to refrain from contacting him. It's not easy that's for sure, this is so different than anything nice experienced. It feels like he's mad at me but in reality it has...
Thanks for your input and I'm so sorry you are going through this. Our relationship is a bit...complicated? We both are in other relationships (unhappy ones at best) and well, we started talking and care about each other a lot for sure and I'm not sure what the future holds but we became close...
I was debating about posting here but you guys offer some amazing input. I have to say that learning about PTSD for the first time while my a good friend goes through his first trigger since being out of the military is beyond hard and something I have never experienced. We have known each other...
