I have a friend that is currently still enlisted. She has PTSD not from combat, but from being raped by a fellow soldier while in Afghanistan. I've been trying to get her to come here, because she feels at ease around people that are/were in the military. Would she be welcome here even though...

So, this is probably absolutely absurd; but hear me out. This would only be for people going to combat, as others with PTSD can't predict their trauma. What if our servicemen and women were slowly exposed to the trials of overseas before they even got there? What if that was part of their...

I've recently started doing a form of yoga called Bikram Yoga (also known as hot yoga). It is an AMAZING stress reliever. It's 90 minutes long in a ro heated to 104 degrees (farenheit) with 45% humidity. It sounds a bit like torture...the first couple sessions were! Lol....but after my body...

I'd just like to thank everyone for all their words of wisdom since I've been here. I broke up with D today. It just had to be done. I think I might still continue to write in my diary until I sort everything out in my head...but I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate you.

I want a normal life with a normal healthy relationship. Something that I will never have with D. I feel selfish even saying that. Does it make me weak to want to leave? I feel like I'm trapped.

Any supporters in the Milwaukee area? I'd also be willing to drive...nothing crazy far, but anywhere within an hour of MKE.

Hey all. I've been on the PTSD Forum for a bit, and thought I'd come over here ad well. I'm a carer. My boyfriend is a retired Marine that served 2 tours in Iraq. He was diagnosed with combat PTSD in 08. The other forum is an awesome place for venting and support. Here's to hoping this will...

Alright. A lot of you talk about your sufferers pushing you away and such. Mine is exactly the opposite. He wants me with him every moment of every single day. This obviously isn't possible because I work 65 hours a week and go to school, but he expects me to be with him all the other times. He...

Any advice on if going to therapy together helps? I'm looking for new ways to open lines of communication.

Well, let me start of with I do not suffer from PTSD. My boyfriend has PTSD, split personality, and an anxiety disorder. He is a combat veteran who got out in 08, but he didn't start having major problems until this summer. I try my very best to be there for him, but it's so hard sometimes. I...
