Well as a Supporter my first thoughts were that it would be good if you could face your demons and go. The circumstances seemed safe enough. Then I read to your last post and you were going, or should I say gone! Fantastic, if all goes as well as it should you will feel great.

Thank you, I didn't realise it was so simple.

I was wondering if there were any Members who could let me know what the pitfalls were and how to get over them in respect of driving in the UK?

Thanks to you both, It's good to have friends here.

Hi Dominik24 I hope you had a better day today? I was keeping busy doing housework,shopping and dog walking but all the time thinking about the evening encounter with my GF. I had made up my mind to try and move things forward. I embarked with trepidation on the short drive to the venue and we...

Hi Dominick24 Sorry to hear your alone, doesn't sound like the best of days. Nothing better over here either been on my own most of the day. Only social spot was having a couple of beers earlier. Tomorrow could be better seeing GF in the evening has the potential to be good, have to wait and...

Maybe a bit of both ? Or all three?

It all sounds very familiar to me my GF sufferer, (currently symptomatic) can be the light and soul of the party with everyone except me.

No worries Friday Your time spans are helpful, thank you, and I appreciate no people or cases are the same. It's sad that you are suffering again after a solid decade of good years. That's kind of where I am at with my sufferer. She believed she was solid and was her true self up until 4 months...

Feetfirst You are correct, I was hoping to hear accounts of sufferers getting better. As a supporter I posted here in relationships because a supporter just might be the first person to know, I know I would. It is the only reason for my being here and I am very glad to discover that it's not...

Heavens I could have written the first half of your first paragraph pretty much word for word! I did research, cooled things down but didn't come on here till Wednesday. I think this is far better than books. You have a guy and I have a girl, they both have psycological injuries obviously very...

Thank you Newtoptsd I am 7 months in and have moments of doubting my ability to come out on the other side,whenever that might be. Hence asking such a big question after only a couple of days on the forum. The support is quite simply amazing often coming from people who are themselves damaged...

NaeNae75 Thank you, you make it possible to keep on fighting.

Panda Bear Thank you you are restoring my own beliefs.:)

Glo809 I can't tell you how good it is to hear you say that, I will keep you in my most positive thoughts draw. All the best Jensen.

Are there any true life success stories by supporters or sufferers who have overcome the monster of PTSD and broken free to near happiness ? Or am I being totally naive in thinking this is possible ?

I really feel for you, your story is so similar to my own I know exactly what you are feeling and going through. I too am new to the Forum searching for ideas. If I come up with anything that might work for me it might also work for you and vice versa ? Sadly I have learnt already that PTSD is a...

Thank you, I don't know either so I have concerns.

Thanks for your thoughts, fortunately your examples are a million miles from where we are at, My first posting was in "Introductions", I then stole this "thread title" from the first reply I got.....Confusing I know ....my first time on the Forum. It is however interesting to hear that you too...

Wow ! Firstly thank you for reading my introduction. What you suggest is far more powerful than I had ever considered, I will have to think very carefully. Howeved to encourage her to go back to group therapy is softer and I have not done so already because I wasn't too sure it was doing any...

Thank you, so if they are not ultimatums they are to be arrived at mutually? Are there any examples that might be relevant to my situation?

Would someone please expand on how boundaries and their enforcement works in a relationship.

I knew that would be the first questions, she was attending group therapy before the holidays but I don't think she has been since, she is very independent and quite secretive about it. I have not enquired, when she was attending I never knew how she would be afterwards. Please expand on your...

In total ignorance of CPSD at the time I met a lovely girl during the summer and started a wonderful relationship. All I knew at the time was that she had some psychological issues, as I became closer she confided in me of her history and diagnosis, CPSTD coupled with OCD. I read as much as much...
