@StFinley I am not from the US but wouldn’t it be possible to get medication from the VA? Maybe the Americans on this board know. Unfortunately I think that painkillers and alcohol do not mix very well. In fact this can be very dangerous.

I am pretty sure that he was relieved he did not have to go to the concert. Those with combat ptsd typically hate this kind of thing because it triggers them.

I see. Does he have nightmares too? Is he on medication? My guy found that medication (an relaxing antidepressant in his case) helps him a lot for sleeping. You said he drank in order to sleep. When mine wasn’t on antidepressant he sometimes drank because it helped him with nightmares. I am not...

Welcome to the boards. I hope you had a okay weekend.

So my guy has really stocked to a changed diet and he is feeling much better but unfortunately he is still feeling a little sick. Maybe it needs a bit more time? We found some healthy things he likes a lot/found out some things he actually likes a lot are actually healthful. For example he...

@scout86 He has no idea why he is standing to eat... it is just something that happens to him so to speak. Well it doesn’t happen to him during formal dinner... but let’s say vet comes home while I am tucking the children into bed... then I often find him standing there eating a bag of nachos...

I am so sorry to hear... but at least this was the last time you saw him, wasn’t it. You can now go on with your life and life it happy and free and without him. He on the other hand doesn’t have much because he will always be miserable.

I do think he knows that it is “idiotic“ to have that thoughts but that doesn’t change how he feels. He was literally shaking because that fear was so bad... so I told him I was happy he talked to me about the feeling because often he doesn’t not... especially in the past he nearly never did but...

Yesterday my guy was feeling down and he said that he felt that his work was “like a war“ not literally, but metaphorically spoken. His problem is that he always feels responsible for other people and he feels afraid that they die. That is true for me, our kids, his friends. He is afraid all of...

@lostforgottensoul I write this here because it makes more sense in this thread: we do have prebiotic Tablets with Sacharomyces boulardi over here but they are marketed for diarrhea. I am not sure if they are the same. We also have prebiotic yoghurts But they are also marketed mostly for...

? Ouch But I am glad you are feeling better now. May I as what tipps it was you gave to the children?

BTW @Friday I like the way you answered this thread (did you like this compliment or hate it?)... no, really... I like your answers... but I guess you already know this.

Could you give an example of a compliment you like and one you do not like?

I like being complimented too... at least most of the time... well sometimes I fear that a compliment is poisoned when coming from someone I do not like/someone who doesn’t like me... but most of the time I like being complimented. I think I fear so, because sometimes I like making poisoned...

Do you like being complimented?/Does your sufferer like being complimented? Why/Why not? Do you feel as a cripple sometimes because of ptsd health problems or disability? Does your sufferer sometimes feel like this? Does being complimented how well you cope/how well your sufferer copes help is...

Vet got much better this evening and he ate a lot.

My vet feels bad about himself when he has got sleep problems and when he cannot eat. He feels like he is crippled and that makes him feel like he is an undesirable spouse. He is also short of hearing... and all of that makes him feel like he is a cripple who just makes everybody worry for him...

I think they were very strict... to say the least... well what I described above. He was made stand attention and instead of eating with the family because of bad table manners and that happened a lot of time. He was also beaten on the hands for having poor manners and he was made memorize...
