    All I can do here is say your a hero. Partners / supporters of us with PTSD are truly special. My wife is my lighthouse, she is my hero, twice as brave and three times as intelligent .

    Dr. Peter Levine's Theories

    Relationship Cheating Caused By Ptsd?

    In my years of not confronting PTSD, I was selfish, and self destructive, I drank, fought, and hedonistically lived. What I didn't do was admit it, don't ask me why, I still can't answer that one. Today my wife still doesn't know the full extent of my turmoil, I live with that guilt. But if I'm...

    Emerg Services Anyone Else Have Similar Experience: Shamed For Noncombat Ptsd.

I returned home and initially spoke about what I'd witnessed ( a few weeks ), then just "broke". I've spoke to many veterans, many families living with veterans who have PTSD. It's...

    Sufferer Sign Around My Neck

    Paddy it took me 10 years to reach out, after scarring my kids emotionally without realizing. Most GP's haven't got a clue. I tried psychotherapy initially, was told I'm a colour - red !!, being a liverpool fc fan I almost fell over laughing. Then I buried it, and to be honest - my cooing &...
