Those of us without PTSD don't have the patience for it either! Lol

Hi May. If he has any other options besides the VA, please tell him to take it and run. The VA is overcrowded and understaffed. They'll most likely start experimenting with different drugs. (mood stabilizers, sleep aids, anti-depressants). They use them as lab rats. Sorry...I'm not trying to...

Welcome to the forum Andrew. I'm a supporter here, but there are many great people that know what your going through. I hope you find comfort and knowledge here. MJ

It feels a little weird when you first get it pierced, but you get used to it.

Oh C, it is NOT your fault. Don't ever let yourself think that. PTSD is not an excuse to be abusive...and that is what he's doing. Is he seeking help, has he been diagnosed? Hang in there. Take care of yourself above all else. Hugs to you. MJ

Hi, Dania. Welcome to the forum. :)

You are not alone. I struggle with wanting to self-harm almost everyday. I often feel guilty after giving into it. But I just tell myself I did the very best I could in that moment. Hugs to you.

I'd just like to say that one of the reasons I love this forum is because there are people from all over the world. If I ever said I "rang someones mobile" here in the states, people would think I lost my mind. Lol!

Welcome to the forum, Keepingpositive. Good for you for posting. Here are some quick answers to your questions. 1) it is very possible, but you shouldn't assume anything. He should seek out help within his branch. 2) definitely could be both. My boyfriend is often "numb" towards me, which is...

She's old enough for you to be able to just flat out tell her...

Hang in there heather. This will pass. You are a strong and beautiful person, you can make it through this.

That would be awesome!

I slipped and cut myself a couple days ago. :(

You and my mom would be goodfriends! Lol She was horrified when she found out about my tattoos...I think she's eventually gottennused to them. Bit without fail, whenever she sees me in a bathing suit...she always has something say. Lol

I'm a carer.

I don't really have any amazing advice...sorry. But hang in there and stay strong. Venting on here helps me a lot.

PTSD is NOT an excuse to abuse people. Verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. She might not know she's hurting you while she does it, but that is still not okay. Have you talked to her about it? P.S. Welcome to the forum. You're not alone anymore. :)
