Hi all I haven't been here for a while...... Just wondering your thoughts ...... I have been with my hubbie for 35 years! We met in our late teens.... he was a great guy.... however I am wondering if some of the things I equated to PTSD are actually him being a narcissist.... and where does...

We have just become intimate again. I think we have had sex 5 times or so in the past 18 years. This was actually while I was asleep too…. I got the courage to bring up sex again recently and of course it caused a big upset. (It ended up not being part of our lives as he would have a flashback...

I am back. Its been some years since I posted. I thought things were getting better however everything seems broken. Why is it so hard to be a family? Me, hubbie and our son? Its easier for us to be each be alone or just 2 of us. We went away for a few days and I do not stop working – its...

Hi all Any people in a long term relationships with their PTSD partner? Do you still have sex? I met my hubbie in 1990 - the car accident happened perhaps that year too..... All was fine until around 16 years ago when our son was born. We have hardly had sex since then - and I can not remember...

Hi all Not been on here for a while and I hope you are well. Just wanted some advice.... Last night around 4am my husband woke me by prodding me on my arm. He was standing next to the bed and I was of course asleep. He has PTSD from a car accident 30 years ago when he was just 18. He asked...

May I ask.... is your sufferer horrible nearly all of the time when they are with you? I don't see many nice times to be honest and though that was "normal" in our PTSD world. We don't really do anything together and things as a family often end up stressful. Is this normal or do others...

Anyone else seeing their sufferer go down hill in the school hols? Hubby has just got worse - flashback in the supermarket , getting really cross with our son, shouting all the way home, storming off, coming back shouting "just get me home" then trying to get out of the car while it was moving...

Just when I feel things are getting fairly nice (ish) again it all goes down hill. Hubby is self employed and the work had dried up a lot. I say this is what happens - feast and famine! But networking etc isn't his thing. I haven't said anything before (I am too scared) but yesterday felt I...

Great. After a weekend away presenting at a big event feeling positive I come home to hardly a hello. I am so behind with my work for a few reasons and been under a lot of pressure..... but still dealing with my son getting in trouble at school... his T1 diabetes and more. I order a big...

It's been a while since I have been on here for various reasons - I do hope all is well in your world or as well as it can be :) After a tough few years with my PTSD husband we are "making a go of it" and after me trying to be "me" again around him and trying to be affectionate at the moment I...

Dear friends I really feel I am going under.... the chest pains are not going away... I feel anxious whenever I see my hubby .... things are not improving.... I just don't know what to do. Hubbys work has dried up a lot.... this is really upsetting him... so I am the breadwinner.... well I...

3 severe flashback/ hulincations this week... Sunday wiped us out.... Tuesday night was horrendous .. I called an ambulance but after being told it may take SIX hours... waiting an hour ...hubby calming down and feeling shattered I cancelled it. He doesn't know who I am.... (we have been...

Dear like minded friends I am back on the forum and thought I would post an update following my message a year ago. So the past year has been a nightmare and I can't see that it will change .... because I got some attention from someone with some text messages and that led to "sexting"...

Does anyone here have an emotional connection still with their sufferer partner? Is there any hope? I don't know or like the person who my hubbie has turned into and I feel so anxious around him - I don't want to. I am desperate to work on us and have some affection but after years of supporting...

Hi everyone It's been a long time since I posted - I hope you are well... I wondered if there is anyone on here who has supported their partner for a long time with their PTSD? We have been together 28 years... dealing with PTSD for about 11 years - severe PTSD for about 8 years.... another...

Guys... I am a very bubbly person... I have my own radio show... I am a presenter on the stage for several events.... so how how do you stop yourself getting dragged down into the horribleness of PTSD?? I have stood by hubbies side for 10 years... I only feel happy when he isnt around... I...

Hi all Its been a little while.... I hope you are well.... So.... my sufferer had a VERY hectic week last week with his work. He was away too and said he got on well. He comes back home and the house is a trigger ... He is sleeping in the spare room and for 2 nights I wake up and bring him...

So hubbie has just walked in. He is not living here now - I feel if we are closer to where he is working he just comes round. He opens the front door and doesn't day hello. He then can't open the door as there are our sons friends shoes blocking so I hear " For Fxxx's sake"... this is the...

Hi guys Is anyone sufferer NOT on medication? Is my hubbie the only one? Several years ago he tried several anti depressants and they didn't work - he felt dreadful and fuzzy and it took him ages to wean himself off. We are worried about medication and the side effects and so now he isnt taking...

Hi there guys When hubbie called earlier I relaised I am answering in a "victim" mode... a weak "Hello" as though I am scared... worried and frightened... he said he had had a terrible night and was (I feel) aggressive in his response. And of course who wouldn't be after another terrible night...

Hi guys This evening I had a chat with a lovely lady who works with army PTSD sufferers.... my hubbie isn't in the army however she wants to help if she can. She said she finds out if there is a "secondary gain" to the person having PTSD and this hit the nail on the head for me. I feel my hubbie...
