I love your message Simply Simon..... and this is how I am .... usually.... I am very bubbly and I am a radio and TV presenter too ... it has been a very tough time with my hubbie and we have had to call the emergency support people... been to see the psychiatrist and the mental health unit...

Hi there guys When hubbie called earlier I relaised I am answering in a "victim" mode... a weak "Hello" as though I am scared... worried and frightened... he said he had had a terrible night and was (I feel) aggressive in his response. And of course who wouldn't be after another terrible night...

Hi guys This evening I had a chat with a lovely lady who works with army PTSD sufferers.... my hubbie isn't in the army however she wants to help if she can. She said she finds out if there is a "secondary gain" to the person having PTSD and this hit the nail on the head for me. I feel my hubbie...

Me again lovely people.... I have read about BBD hemp oil being a natural thing to use to calm and more... I am reading more now too.... have anyone tried this here? With love Sunshine xx

Thank you @Snowflakes.... I do wish you lots of love and healing vibes too..... hubbie is just wiped out..... he feels he has tried everything.... and it must be exhausting ... he has just been given a prescription for respiridone - but the side effects sound terrible.... I am hoping he will...

Thats amazing - thank you so much Rain xxxxx May I ask if you have put any weight on as this seems to be common.... my hubbie wants to avoid this.... however I feel it is a small price to pay if it stops the nightmares - THANK YOU so much Sunshine xxxx

Hi guys Anyone here know much about risperidone ? Today the psychiatrist gave us a prescription for risperidone and the side effects are very scary.... this drug is suppose to stop nightmares and hallucinations and when I asked the doctor if many people are taking it he said "half the...

I have heard of following lights sighs.... this just sounded better to me for some reason....?

Thanks Sweetpea.... he had had someone saying they were doing EMDR and they moved their finger in his face - we are in the UK and this was on the NHS - I fear he is now too ill for treatment..... I am heartbroken x

Dear forum friends Its been ages since I have been on here and I do hope that despite what we all have in common you are well. Hubbie moved out in Feb to stay with a friend..... he has been coming back from time to time but after 28 years of being together he still isn't now able to hold my...

I didnt plan to trade anything. I didnt think. This was an escape from PTSD, my sons type 1 diabetes, work worries, money worries.... I lost my hubbie years ago and have been doing all what I can to find him again. But I am scared, upset, beaten down, exhausted, not me, lonely and I feel I...

Some of what you say is correct - I do need to work on me and how I am in the marriage. I am just exhausted and gutted. My emotional affair (I didn't even know this is what it was until I posted on this forum) was horrendous and I have set things back dramatically with hubbie and his ptsd as...

I wish I didn't message back the guy I met last year - well lets call it what it really is .... "sexting". It was just quite wonderful to have some attention even if it wasn't real at all. When I said to stop messaging me and he carried on I should have not replied. Hindsight is a great thing...

After 7 years of battling with PTSD hubbie has moved out as he feels this will save us. A weight has been lifted and I think I am just worried that we both know its over. He is not the man I married, fell in love with and has become nasty, angry, negative and unloving. I cant be myself - I am...

Thank you The Minsterman - this is spot on. My hubbie has stayed away for 2 nights now and it feels like a weight has been lifted - the house seems to have relaxed too. Its weird. He come back for a few hours yesterday to see our son and flared up because we were just getting on with things...

I am so sorry to read this Muse. My hubbie has stayed away 2 nights now and it feels like a weight has been lifted. He come back for a few hours yesterday to see our son and flared up because we were getting on and didnt stop everything to focus / be with him. He didnt say this however this is...

Thank you for your super rely Muse.... I just wanted to say thank you and also yes I have been with my hubbie for nearly 30 years - maybe 27 years..... PTSD reared its ugly head about 10 years ago and then got worse over the past 7 years. We havent been unhappy for 30 years.... just really...

My hubbie has said he had to switch off his feelings just to cope with his PTSD. He is now hard and numb. He is not the man I fell in love with. I have been by his side for nearly 30 years since we were teenagers and supporting him for 10 years with PTSD - its horrible and I just want a "normal"...

Sorry to read that Boodle - you may never know the answers. What did she say? Maybe write to her perhaps?? Being the partner with someone with PTSD is so tough. Its been 10 years for me know and I dont know how I have done it.

My stomach is in knots and I haven't stopped crying. Its been horrendous these past few weeks and hubbie is cold, distant and hurt after finding out another man and I were messaging each other. It was more than just messages too I am gutted to say. He has said that he needs to have a break -...

Thank you - and yes sadly I have cut all ties.... its hard as we had a lot in common... and he is a little bit famous too.... it could get worse if he gets more well known.... ironically I had just put an end to it (again)... but he carried on... and so did I... and I now of course wish I...

Last weekend was a nightmare and I would really welcome some ideas as I am lost....!! We seem to spend our time cleaning / spring cleaning.... (we did this Saturday - and that was fine it needed to be done). Sunday was horrendous - we are going through a tough time anyway (pls see my other...

I just stuck into my work - but I feel this is at an unhealthy level now!!! I really dont know what else to do.... :(

My hubbie says it will get better - its been 7 years full on and he has changed so much - the only time we are happy is when we are apart. I spent Sunday crying my eyes out all day - the first day we were together. I am scared of the weekends. Although he hasnt gone away for such a long time as...

To be honest I feel as though you know us as this makes complete sense and is completely correct. We met when we were just 18 so its very scary - I dont know a life without him - but the life I have is a nightmare - I feel the whole house change as he walks out of the front door. I really have...
