Here I am again. Somebody there?

I planned to stay awake until Vet came home but then I fell asleep tucking the kids into bed. Vet seems to be fine. He texted me a few times saying everything was okay and wondered why I did not write back in his messages ? and guessed I fell asleep tucking the kids into bed.? He doesn’t write...

Silly reason. Vet is out there in a crowded place and most likely afraid (fear of terrorist attacked on Friday 13th during Christmas time. Bataclan was on Friday 13th). He infected me with his fear does somebody want to talk to me... but I won’t be here much.... need to prepare dinner for the...

So it is Friday the 13th, my Vet will be in the big city in a crowded place this evening and most likely will feel very afraid but there is a reason he has to be there (do not want to mention why because of anonymity). I will not be with him. @Rollercoaster Have you tried putting something warm...

Its great you are getting there. Is this something you discuss with your therapist. I hope so because I think it can help... also a good thing to discuss with other sufferers... and with your hubby... and with the other spouses on this board. I think there are no other spouses in this thread...

Fortunately my vet isn’t deaf or anything like this, he is just hard of hearing (otoh I sometimes think he hears a needle drop) and it shows if he is in a place where is a lot of background noise is and/or several people are talking at the same time... like in a restaurant or in a crowd. He can...

For my Vet it has been important that he realized he was very proud of the choices he made and I thought that it might offend those who have other forms if ptsd (for example from having an abusive ex) if I mention that. Because I thought maybe they would say “So you expect me to take pride in...

He still does parameter checks. I think he always will but I am okay with this. You get used to it. Have you tried moving your bed to another place (one of his choice)? It helped my guy a lot. We moved it into a corner. It helped so much. Boy, I realized it is already 0342 over here. Really...

Rant.... today he did it again. *sigh* I hear what you are saying @Friday but I need to rant.

Hello, l would like to hear your point of view. How important was it for you to see yourself as wounded not crazy and how did you manage. Forms guy this is very important and I think nowadays most of the times when he thinks of having ptsd can say that he took wounds for his country and he wears...

Hello again. I think I need some translation again. This time about expressions of approval which are sort of idiomatic in my culture and I wanted to talk about things I say to my vet sometimes and realized that I cannot translate a single one... @Fadeaway or Someone who speaks GermaN could you...

You don’t have to be sorry.? Unless your planning to do a parameter check in order to wake up your hubby this night?? but than I guess vets don’t really plan to do this. It’s more like an itch, isn’t it? Ikone my vet doesn’t enjoy it or plans to do it but just feels he needs to and this feeling...

Him and his stupid parameter check. Now I am awake in the middle of the night but he just cannot keep himself from doing that. Just cannot.

Oh, I see... a good Time to be awake. What’s for dinner @Freida?

I googled it and was mega shocked to learn that there was strong evidence for a connection between ibs-c and combat ptsd. I was shocked to learn that this link was so strong that the American VA has determinated that ibs-c can be classified a combat related disability. Vet was shocked, too, when...

Hey @Freida also awake. What time is it over there?

@Rollercoaster4 I understand this very well. I used to be that disappointed because we did not go places and in the beginning he did not even tell me why... but now... Dunno... I got used to it a bit and also I am sometimes afraid of crowds during Christmas time too. I think he has infected me...

I hope that I do not write too much, only venting. This morning my vet told me why he felt so stressed last evening. Next Friday is going to be Friday the13th... like the Bataclan massacre when it was Friday the 13. of November... he has the fear that terrorists play a cruel game by choosing...

@Mee Sorry for the stupid question, but isn’t fibromyalgia something you notice (because you had a lot of other symptoms too). @Rollercoaster4 Did they mention exposure to what exactly overseas they thaught caused this?

Hi... how is everybody doing? Hope you are all well. Us? Actually we have been having a good time since last wrote, made some deco, vet and kids made Stollen and vet and me went online shopping for presents. Great you can do those things online nowadays... and today we had an argument about a...

My vets mood actually got much better over the day yesterday. He then went and bought stuff for a stollen recipe and we are gonna make some kind of special Stollen today. We are also going to go on an online-shopping-trip today.

I think they want us to have an fun time when they are cranky/withdrawn/depressed. At least my Vet told me. Better one cranky and depressed person in the house than six (in our case it would be six).

I don’t know you or him but I agree with what @blackemerald1 and @confused123 said. It sounds like he needs more help than he currently has and actually to me it sounds a bit scary. I may be totally wrong but to me it sounds scary.

?

My vet got up in the night and he was pretty drunken. *sigh* He has actually added to his stash of Sherry, because there was an Black Friday offer. Let me explain: it is a lot cheaper in Europe than it is in the US... so I am not worried for money. I just think we shouldn’t have a stash of...
