When my friend told me recently "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!!!", I just responded with "Educate me". I know quite a lot about her. But she has never told me what specifically is the cause of her PTSD. I have not asked her, because, I feel it is her business and she will tell me, if she wants to.

Brittany, You seem to doing the right thing. Yes, Their responding seems like the only way of knowing whether, they acknowledge a message.

Bewitched, I am so so sorry!!:(

Brittany, Looking at my original reply, I had said that you don't need to remind him at all. BUT, That doesn't mean you can't remind him if you want to. The nitty gritty of what I am getting at is, they shouldn't have to remind their supporters to remind them, and the supporter should do it of...

Mouseshadow, Your girlfriend sounds almost like my friend. The first time she ever apologized for her behavior was, not until she came out of a six-week coma after almost dying in 2012. By that time, we had known each other nine years. The push/pull isolation has continued even after her...

Bedbug, Yes, I understand. In the case of my friend, I have told her in the past, if she needed to talk, I am here for her. But I have not peppered her with reminders. I let her respond on her timetable, not mine.

You don't need to remind him at all. Because that could potentially stress him out, and start making him distance himself from you. He will contact you, when he feels he can. My friend has been verbally abusive to me many times. But, I know that she doesn't mean it. When she has been...

While your mental health issues may be a contributing factor to the arguments. It is his PTSD that has the major role. Because, Supposing your mental health were Bi-Polar Disorder for a moment. My (ex)fiance said she had that, but it was more like she was Borderline. Anyway, The mental...

By being there for them, when they are ready.

LGW, He sounds like an online friend of mine that has PTSD. I have known her since 2003. Like him, she has been critical of me for a long time. There were periods of time, that we didn't talk to each other. But it has never been because of something the other person did. Several times she...

Looking back at when I said she doesn't care, that was her response to, my being concerned about the headache she has had for several days. A headache in both, her case, and even moreso in mine, can potentially be a sign of major trouble.

Bell, I know Skype is free. In addition to pictures we have sent each other. I recently asked her about Yahoo Voice Chat(still hoping Yahoo hasn't pulled the plug on it like they said they would). She said that the laptop she has now, doesn't have voice or camera capability. I don't think...

I am already intending to.

Do you mean to say, that I am 'on my own', not 'own your own'?

Junebug, I did say that I dropped contact for nine months without warning. That was July'2011-Apr.'2012. As to her saying that she didn't care, that wasn't in reference to me. That was in reference to her caring about herself. Because if that were not the case, she wouldn't have gone from...

Solara, I have known her by Yahoo Instant Messenger since 2003. So we have sent pictures of each other via Yahoo IM. We don't Skype, and the cost of a phone call is too prohibitive to be on a regular basis because of the distance(U.S.-Canada) and international call rates applying to the...

Barconian, The first part of what you said, reminded me of the Tina Turner song 'What's Love Got To Do With It'. In terms of being loved, we all deserve to be loved. Regardless of what we have, or don't have. Yes, I want to help her beat it(if at all possible). Yes, My love for her is...

Bell, Okay that is what you meant by 'practically paralyzing'. I told her how I felt.

Bell, I know you you weren't saying I pressed her. I was saying why I haven't pressed. How do you mean 'practically paralyzing'? I re-read it a couple times, to see if I would get the cobwebs out of my head. But no luck. So, What did you mean?

Bell, I recently told my friend how I have been emotionally supportive of her in the interest of her happiness, all these years. I have not pressed the issue during all these years.

Look up 'Emotional Affair' on Wikipedia. If you don't meet the criteria, you didn't cheat. I mention that because, the woman with PTSD that I have been online friends' with for ten years, told me that her (ex)husband never cared(2006-2013; three years later after the wedding he 'came out' as...

I am in Montgomery County. But I am looking for a support group for friends/family of PTSD Sufferers.

Lucycat, I am referring to the Washington, DC metro region.

I am also in Montgomery County.

I don't run one, I am looking for one.
