"J" told me about his PTSD immediately after we met for the first time. However, he hid all (or most) of his symptoms from me in an attempt to act normal. This was 4 years ago and in the U.S. there wasn't much talk about PTSD at that time, so I didn't really think much about it. And he seemed...

Teenagers are fun, aren't they?!? I have TWO and both are girls! Sometimes I fantasize about living in a tent in my backyard and giving them the house..... Hey, wait a minute~ switch that...they get the tent and I get the house. LOL Living with 2 hormonal girls will test anyones sanity...

My friend "J" seems to be doing better in many ways, the same in other ways. I think being able to feel comfortable talking to me about anything has helped him a lot. I know it has helped me to feel comfortable telling him anything about me. I think it helps him to feel useful in helping me...

I hope all is going well with your hubby home Sue. I am thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way!!

{laughing} Captain Obvious.... Alan, dude you are hilarious!!

You two are hilarious. I'll type it for you Tex! I think you writing a book would be awesome!! I've read lots of your writing all over this forum and I have learned a lot and laughed a lot. Maybe you could have Alan write a chapter or two...that dude is hilarious too.

A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugger, a liberal Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville, WA . There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land, so she started to climb the...

I am going to quit calling him my ex-BF and start calling him my friend. We talk almost daily and he is still very open about his thoughts. More open then he ever has been before. Maybe this friendship thing is just what we needed. I think before he was trying so hard to hide his ptsd...

Two sheep herders are flying the herd to a new farm. Suddenly, the engine fails and the plane begins to fall quickly to the ground. SH1: Quick! Grab a parachute and jump! SH2: What about the sheep ?!? SH1: f*ck the sheep !!!! SH2: (pause) Do you think we have time? (Just for you Tex!! :D)

You make me laugh out loud Tex! I won't be leaving you or this site anytime soon. It keeps my feet on the ground and helps me understand my friend who likes to keep his head up his arse at times. LMAO And I would miss you and your encouraging sweet words!! :D

MB13 ~ You sound like a strong woman. Be proud of what YOU have accomplished. Even though you had no choice but to do it alone ~ guess what?!? you did it! Be kind to yourself. Be proud of yourself. I am proud of you. :) My ex-BF is slowing falling apart! :p He was trying to fix his...

That is great news Sue!!! I hope the weekend pass went well for you and your beloved. Hugs!!

that made me laugh out loud... Thanks, I needed that!

Good job Wagon!!

Nikki, Most of my friends and family have no idea why I would want to be his friend and why I would allow him to be my friend. And I cannot explain it in a way they will ever understand. They love me and want what is best for me so they are blinded by that thinking. I have lots of friends...

He had a major panic attack last night. He has had his kids all week because they are on spring break. The kids have been fighting and this totally dances on his last nerve. He kept trying to get them to stop fighting and it just wasn't working. Then it hit him...a panic attack. He had to...

Good for you Tex!!

He is still doing his almost daily "checking on me" call. So sweet! I had therapy Tuesday night and when he called me Wednesday, I was sort of amped up about what the therapist and I talked about. I have a tendancy to be extremely happy in my relationships while they are happening, but I...

Relationships force you to really look at yourself, and if you don't like what you see, the relationship will suffer unless you address it. THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE! PTSD sufferers are quite aware of the hurt they can cause as much as they are afraid of the same hurt being inflicted on them. That...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am very happy for you and your family! :)

Keep doing what you are doing for YOU and your kids. Be happy, take care of yourself, enjoy life as much as possible. Then, if you can, be his friend. He could probably use a friend. It sounds like he thinks he is a lost cause....I'm not so sure that he is. He did show character by sending...

Hey Tex....no need to be talkative. I appreciate you reading and giving input when necessary so I understand ptsd better. And I appreciate your friendship on here. The ex-BF is still checking in on me which is so sweet. He called me last night and we only spoke for a few minutes but he wanted...

Thanks Tex! Oh, I forgot this part....It was discovered a couple weeks ago that for several months he was taking only 5mg of one of his anti-depressants and should have been taking 25mg. This explains the huge depressive episode in January. He said he feels better now mostly, but is still...

Ever since my ex-BF and I talked on Sunday night he has been very supportive of ME. He has called multiple times saying...."just checking in on you". It's so weird because I was always the one worrying about him and trying not to trigger him. He came over last night and we talked about all...
