Sgt Bilko, There must be other things the two of you have done in your relationship other than drink. Drinking doesn't make a relationship at least not a healthy one. The two of you are still young. For you, you have to change your lifestyle to make things such as your ptsd a little easier...

Thanks supergirl right now I need all the hugs I can get! Things are just getting worse. There is nothing I can do or say at this point that is even making sence to him. He says whats the point in going to appt. he feels they dont help anyway. When they do! What happens is he starts off...

Thanks Meg!

Hi stugglingdad, My bf feels the same way as you. Its hard for me because I try to tell him be happy your alive and found me. I'm the longest relationship he has had. We have accomplished so many good things since we have been together. Yet he wont let himself or something inside him stops him...

I don't know what to do anymore. My bf has made it so no one from the Va is able to talk to me anymore. I don't understand what is going on. I think his depression med needs to be changed. He has been more depressed and sits in his chair with his blanket over his head. He can't handle any...

Amethist, Thanks for asking. I'm holding my own right now. Thanks to the forum and the post I read here. It is really nice to talk to people who get it and understand it. I am a strong woman but one person can only allow so much and take so much. I have been taking time out for myself these...

He does go to the Va and has as long as I have known him. The problem is he goes for a period of time things start looking up for him so he starts skipping out on appt. When I try to tell him thats not a good idea I get the whole I didn't know you had a phd line. I'm getting to the point...

Congrats Amethist! That really is something to be proud of.

Patrick and Claire, Thank you for your replies. My bf is the in the moment, in the now kind of guy. Your right that everything is what he wants now never the long term affect these choice he makes have. I have always had to be the one to reel him back in on certain things. I have tried...

I believe the answer is yes. The only thing is that no one is allowed to garnish Va money.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a 1 1/2 years. He has talked about moving out before then never did. Now he wants to move out for the summer. But not move out fully. He wants to leave the majority of his stuff here. He also wants to stay here unless he is having a bad day. My bf...

Nicolette, For me deal breakers are abuse, cheating, and lying! How easy it would be to walk away and not look back if any of these occured. I know my boyfriend doesn't mean to hurt my feelings. That would be the ptsd. In my opinion men with ptsd love more than any other when they are able...

Thanks Amethist for your support and thoughts!

7 months has gone by. It been a bumpy one and now we are back to him moving out. I know I can't make him stay and wouldn't try to. Im very hurt right now and confused. I understand he needs to accept his ptsd and deal with it. I get that he is looking for some space right now, however it...

Lostboy, I know just how you feel. My bf is the same way. Lots of the meds cause the problem. Then sometimes its there own fears. My bf doctor was going to adjust some of his med but then with that comes other side affects. Like you I value any intimate moment we share whether its a kiss...

Thank you all for your comments. He is going to an inpatient center. The first step is 5 days up to 14. Then the next step in one month. He has been in treatment, counceling, ect at the VA. Its as if he never listens to what he is told. They tell him to stay away from the negative bad...

My bf is finally going to a PTSD treatment center. Its for 5 days. Has anyone here gone to one before? We have been together for 1 1/2 years now. His down times are lasting longer and longer each time something triggers him. This last time it lasted 4 weeks. I really wasn't sure if I was going...

Hi Lily, My bf and I have been together for 1 1/2 years. He has ptsd and tbi. The things you describe sound like ptsd to me. When they have ptsd they find it much easier to suclude themselves from the one closest to them. Its awful watching them talk on the phone to others, get on their...

My bf suffers from ptsd and tbi. He served in Iraq form 2003 to 2005. He was injured when a car bomb went off when he was driving a humvee. My question is does anyone else that served in Iraq suffer from any of the following: hands going cold hands, legs and feet going numb random fevers head...

Frankie, Aww I just listened to the song on youtube. So true and so hard at the same time! :Hug_emoticon:

Hi Luci, Welcome to the forum! My bf has ptsd. There have been times when he has gotten upset with me because he thought I wasn't paying attention even though I was and could repeat everything he said to me. For them the expect full attention with you looking at them. Something as simple as...

TBI stands for tramatic brain injury. My bf has that along with his ptsd. Some side affects are headaches, memory problems(short term memory loss), Change in sleep paterns, mood swings, ect. He suffers from his do to the bomb that went off. It was a blow to his head when the humvee rolled over...

Magnuss welcome to the forum. My bf served 2 tour in Iraq. He was injured when an ied went off by his humvee. He was home for 1 year before he got help. He was mess I didnt know him then but he and others have told me. He started out with some uncontrolled angry and irritability. From there it...

Welcome to the forum lucart64. Try to get into some counceling it will benefit both of you. Learn as much about PTSD as you can. Somedays are up other are down. My bf's ptsd seem to have also gotten worse but last year was also a tough year for him. His step dad passed away after a long...

I think as long as you both work at it things will be fine. Marriage is for better for worse but not forgranted. Everyone with or without ptsd has bad days. You are only going to get out of it what you put in it. My boyfriend needs to stop talking to people that are clueless about ptsd cause...
