I believe he is emerging from his hiatus....we talked on the phone last night for an hour and he called me at lunch today. We had lunch together and have plans for the weekend. He seems better and happier. I think he is finally realizing that I do understand and that I am there for him. So...

http://stopptsdnow.com/index.html Anyone heard of this??

Sorry, this is a little long… Here is the deal….my friends major issue with his ptsd ~ or the issue that seems to effect us the most is his depression. A couple times a year he goes into this deep depression and just wants to be alone and sleep. He works during the day as a teacher and goes...

Sue, you have helped me a lot too. I hope your husband gets all the help that he needs ~ you both deserve it! Your kind words and insight from a wife of a soldier who has seen the worst and still has hope for the best has been so wonderful. Dawn, you are also an amazing woman. You are so...

This is what makes me so upset about how soldiers are treated in the U.S. and probably in a lot of other countries. They drugged him up and sent this man back out and he killed somone he shouldn't have and is now facing the death penalty....just for serving his country. The military needs to...

Met with him last night. I think it surprised him that I wasn't angry with him. We talked about all kinds of stuff ~ I don't even really know what I said as all the words just flowed easily. Before I went into his house I said a prayer..."please let my words be what I need to say, please let...

Thanks Tex. I have realIy enjoyed talking to you too! I am feeling much better as each day passes. I am looking forward to talking to him on Monday to be able to talk in person and get that closure for myself. I am not mad at him at all and hope to remain friends. He really is a good person...

I have been avoiding this forum for several days because I have really run through every emotion after my break-up with my BF. I have beaten myself up, been angry at him, been crying so hard, been content, etc. I think all of this is normal after a break-up. I am getting better every day and...

Thanks Tex. Me too! I am not 100% sure all men aren't screwed up in the head - ptsd or not!! LOL I am not sure about the friendship thing. He wants to remain friends, and I have known him for about 4 years - but I am not sure I can handle it. I love him so much and he loves me....he is just...

Well it's done....the stories told here to me about when you were not in control of your ptsd have proven to be accurate for my BF or shall I say ex-BF. I am beating myself up for trusting him again....what is that saying...fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Well shame on...

I am sorry to hear that you went through this too Tex, but it probably makes you a little bit more aware of how your fiance' feels sometimes. I gotta tell you ~ the picture of your little guy on your profile is soooo cute. I love those eyes. What is it you call him....frog? Link Removed

Hello MurphyJB ~ welcome! There are lots of awesome people here!

Hello femalevet. Welcome!!

Hi Ted. Welcome!

Starting Day 8. No verbal contact since Feb 2. I got an email on Feb 4 - but only 5-6 words and really said nothing. I'm mentally fine and moving forward with my life. But is still sucks because I miss my BF. How long will this last?? No one knows.....

Jimmy ~ sorry about any mis-understanding. I know you never implied that my BF was any of those things....I just wanted to clarify for anyone else who might be reading this thread.... But you are absolutely right in your statement. Untreated PTSD symptoms are a problem.

Marie E., My BF was like that at one time. I have known him for 4 years and when we first started dating he was sort of like this. We had constraints so we were not able to be together 24/7 (our own homes, kids schedules, dogs, jobs) but if we weren't together he was constantly emailing me all...

I'm sure you already know this, but wanted to clarify. My BF is not nor has ever been abusive. Not verbally, not physically ~ not at all. He is however shut down due to stress and an anniversary trigger. No doubt he needs more help as the meds are not enough. Hopefully he will emerge soon as...

Tough one MurphyJB. Curious...how long have you two been together?? When my BF is "himself" he is sort of like this too. We have constraints that don't allow the 24/7 time together.....our own houses, kids, dogs, jobs, etc. But when we are apart he would call me all the time....if I missed...

Iron_Angel ~ glad you have indications that yoru month-long silence is coming to an end. I am on day 7 with my BF and it is tough. If you don't mind my asking, what are your indicators? Has he made contact with you? Hugs to you ~ I know how tough this is.

Yep....untreated symptoms is the key here Jimmy. My BF and I are not broken up and once this annual January episode is over I will find a way to talk about this very subject.

Wow Jimmy!! Congratulations!!! So happy for you and Margaret!!

Ewww gross AND congratulations for getting another thing marked off your bucket list. LOL

Maybe you will get Alzheimers instead. Jimmy said its one of the two cures for ptsd....you won't have any idea how shitty you feel... LOL (I am just kidding Tex!)

Jimmy - I love how you always put the note about not being a psycologist or a therapist. You are pretty smart, maybe you should be.. LOL Anyway, I am feeling much better. I just woke up frustrated about the whole thing and needed to get it out, but I am good now. I am a strong person...
