Having a bad week and wanting to just run away. Hubby is looking at redheads on a page on face book. Knowing that he has a weakness for them and after everything we have gone through, I have thrown the walls back up this week. Of course his answer is just to get rid of facebook but the truth is...
Hello Louhitchen, I think what I have found through all this is that even though the symptoms are much alike, each soldier struggling is an individual and what works for one might not work for another. I can say that one thing that has worked for many soldiers is keeping their world calm and...
my question is how young is your girlfriend? If she is still being forced to see her father and he molested her than her Mother needs to know and the authorities need to be called. If this young lady keeps being forced to do something that is causing her great harm then she is never going to...
Thank you so much for all the replies. My H is truly an amazing man! I know he is going to have bad times but now when he does, he is quick to apologize unlike before and that is one of the reasons I fight so hard to stay by his side and work through everything. I think that a lot of my worries...
Thank you so much for your reply :). My Husband has combat PTSD and does not want to go the route of meds either. I have completely changed his diet, cut caffeine intake, we walk and work out. He had some underlying health issues that have gone away with diet change and that has helped lots. He...
I was wondering if anyone here suffering with PTSD uses different therapies such as diet, ie leaving coffee sugar alone ect... exercise, meditation over taking medications and if so how is it working for you?
I have been dealing with my H's PTSD for 8 years and as if that was not hard enough, I discovered him having an online affair. Like many of you, I tried everything to help my H and tried to get him help for his PTSD so when I found that he had been professing his undying love for this woman...
Oh, how I relate with you all. I am new here but have been dealing with my combat vet husbands PTSD for 8 years now. The first 7 were horrible. My husband saw everyone else as the problem and he was perfectly fine. I would talk, cry, plead, and beg him to get help but all it ever seemed to do...
Suziq616, I am glad that I was able to help. I understand the pain of your text messages. I did not get to read what took place between my husband and his online lover but I did talk to her in length for a few weeks to find out what had gone on between them and I can tell you it is really hard...
Hello Suziq616. I am so fortunate that my husband did not become addicted to drugs or alcohol after returning home but I completely get the addiction to dating or porn sites. My husband loved me with all his heart but was mad at me over things I couldn't control. This anger did a lot of damage...
OMGoodness, My husband was mad and hateful towards me for 6 years before he hit rock bottom. The kids and I couldn't do anything right and he had disconnected from all his friends so we had the pleasure as his family to walk on eggshells all the time. My husband has made a 360 degree turn...
Thank you for the welcome! I actually found the webpage for my husband first Debbie and he pointed out this page for me so hoping both of us will be able to find lots of good information. We are very fortunate to have a fabulous counselor and supportive friends and family. I can say that I would...
Have you ever looked at medical transcription? You do everything through your home and if you have a problem going out, you can have a runner pick up and drop off for you. You can even do your school online for it.
Withdrawal is very common in vets and will only get worse if they do not get help for it. My husband could only find peace when gaming or if he was around his Military buddies. He said it was the only thing that calmed his mind. I can only say, keep working on getting him into counseling and try...
Hello everyone, My name is Kelly and I am the wife of a combat vet who struggles with PTSD. My Husband was in Iraq in 04 and 05. I knew being a soldier myself to expect changes in my husband when he came home but I was not prepared for how drastic it would be. My husband left a sweet family man...
