This will be my last post here - I am no longer a supporter sadly. I finally found out what it means to excuse bad behaviour as PTSD when it really is just that - my bad, I'm too soft for my own good....and boy does it smart!!!! He had a flare up not long after we met so I gave him space, I...

Hey all :-) It's been a little while since I posted here but I've been dipping in and out of the forums. So a few weeks back I posted I was walking away and @Casey_03 rightly pointed out I really didn't seem at that point when I was still putting 'my' vet's needs ahead of mine....@casey_03 how...

Hey all :-) Just a quick one. Very sadly I made the decision to final walk away last week and I have to say he doesn't seem at all bothered. The good news thought is he seems to be a little stronger - I only wish him the very best. I've tried asking him when he wants to get his stuff as he...

had to make such a hard decision today and feel heartbroken but I had to do it for my own sake. His PTSD is not directly the reason why I've made the decision - in fact his diagnosis made me think more of him because it takes courage and bravery to seek help for it. If I thought even for a...

And all advice greatly received....as ever. After the worst birthday last week we had a tiny moment where we both said we both hate what is happening but right now this is for the best. I've quietly squirrelled myself away and have been reading and learning more about PTSD and I know now I was...

Sorry all I'm a sad old mess tonight. I finally spoke to him last night after 3 weeks no phone contact - he has no answers, he's sorry, he can't cope, he can't see a way forward, he can't be friends as it reminds him of what he's 'ruined', he can't say he doesn't have feelings for me, I'm...

I just wanted to say thank you to all sufferers and supporters on here who offer such great insight, support and a great sounding board to people they don't know from all walks of life who have been brought together by PTSD. There is so much sound advice, opinions, guidance given - on a personal...

Hi all, sorry feeling on a real downer today. I've been posting for a little while after meeting an incredible guy - a combat vet with diagnosed PTSD who is having counselling. Everything was fantastic, as I see a lot here, and I genuinely believe he is a very good man who is in a very bad...

I can't see any other ending to this...not my choice though. So after he came round on Sunday and getting the lovely card I've heard absolutely nothing. After an incident a few weeks ago I needed to explain some things so gave him a letter on Sunday - I thought it was fair for both of us that...

Hi all :) I've been thinking today about where my combat vet is at the moment, really not in a good place at all. My question is regarding self-worth, a recurrent theme with him at the moment is that I deserve better and him 'wishing he could be the person I deserve'. Now to me he's everything...

To all you wonderful, amazing, beautiful and courageous sufferers and supporters alike. Whether you are a sufferer and are in isolation or a good place or a supporter who loves someone in isolation or things are going well I send you all huge hugs. Today I got the most beautifully worded card...
