Over the years I've written poetry/song lyrics to help me through tough times, and often when I feel a bit emotional. Watching my friend go through her ups and downs, and reading this forum made me wonder about some things. I've seen her mother ignore her, "the less I know the better", her...

Are you aware of anyone blocking out events or situations in their life so completely that the sufferer actually believes it didn't exist, and will continually deny it with such conviction that you start to wonder if you made it up? I'm curious about this, because there's a situation where...

I stated in another thread that it was my last post, but felt I should post this because it is something very difficult for me to understand. An overall view of the relationship with my ex is this: we met, I fell for her, then learned she had PTSD, and with time, she is bipolar. We struggled...

When I met my girlfriend she was happy, content and affectionate. We had a couple of dates and they were incredible, and I fell in love with her. One of the traits that we both share is that we both believe in being monogamous, and are both loyal to a fault. Shortly after we met, she began...

Hi- I've posted a couple times and haven't officially introduced myself. I found this forum because I fell in love with a woman who has PTSD I wanted to learn more about it while I learn about her, and am grateful for the people here who are willing to share and teach newbs like me. Although...

Hello. I'm new to this forum and have read a few stories/posts, but aside from spending the next few hours reading I thought I'd risk asking the same questions and see if anyone has some suggestions for me. I will start by saying that I come from a broken home where there was a lot of abuse...
