He has severe PTSD. He's a disabled vet from Iraq. And he's always been up and down and all over the place way before me. He's always gotten so into stuff he gets obsessed. Like the best example I can give is tv shows. He watched sons of anarchy and thats when the vest thing started. He started...
Hey everyone I'm new again!
Another bad day. I've been diagnosed with a severe illness and I feel like poop and my hubby is getting stressed and going overboard with stuff again which is driving me crazy. He will barely leave the house without his fake biker vest and rings on, he's addicted to...
Hey I completely understand. Having one of those days myself where its just me trying and hubby just demanding that everything is fine. And I should just be okay with whatever crazy thing he wants to do. Lately it is sitting on the couch and scrolling facebook 16 hours a day. Not talking nothing...
My husband is seriously hurting... Its like he's forcing himself to suffer. How do I get him through this?
Tomorrow is gonna be such a terrible day for him. This is the first year together and I hate saying him suffer so much...
he is actually being very supportive its just some days are bad days. And sometimes he forgets I'm not wonderwoman. After his total flip out last month I now am a shaking nervous mess or panic and depression. He is helping me through it and kind of realizes he is to blame for most of it but...
Grrr another blissful morning where I am sick as a dog and hurting like hell and steve has his son. The kid is annoying him and unless he get to spend exactly as much time as he wants on something then he never ever gets to play it so as he has a new found obsession with a pool game that has...
I tried that... He got peed that I was treating him like a baby and controlling his life... I might point out he spent every penny he owns in for days and hasn't done a thing since we broke up.. But If I do stuff he gets mad... Then gets mad if I don't. Today he was angry again. Wouldn't even...
Up and down and angry and everything's my fault and he needs space but won't take it then flips out on me and all this is apparently just our breakup and no PTSD or depression.
He just got in the truck. Asked him where he's off to, he doesn't know.
OK. Totally absolutely my fault. Told him a...
So after a ridiculously stressful month we finally got home and my fiance decided to go from blissfully happy to breaking up with me because he didn't love me... after a week he finally admitted that he is angry and numb and doesn't really feel anything for anything not just me. I was a major...
I'm trying but I think I am stressing him out a bit. This over the topness is very new in our relationship and I was fairly sure it was me... I still dont know. maybe it is me, but he's all over the place... He seems so unhappy all of a sudden and all of our connection since his uncle died has...
Thanks, he does ask for space sometimes and now that we are home he gets it but the mood swings don't seem to be related to the need for space. He is 100% permanently disabled from ptsd and knows that he has a problem but right now he seems adamant that nothing is going on... its slightly...
I've posted recently about the massive amount of stress my PTSD vet fiance has been under and that he has been on and off with me. Now we are home the symptoms are more defined and it is very very clear I'm not the problem. However no one but me is with him long enough to notice the massive...
Is it common for military vets to continue with a military perspective or is that something else? That's the one thing I assumed was PTSD although I haven't actually heard of it...
Well he's 100% disabled now with a permanent rating and listed as unemployable so not an issue anymore. But he'd get angry very easily and feel disrespected. In manual labor you get a lot of disrespect and it gets him angry. So he feels like he is doing his bosses a favour by addressing...
If he's promised something then I will call him out in it. Other times though I have always known he's terrible at plans and time keeping and anything organizational. And sometimes when he doesn't wanna be around people its best he doesn't go out because he'll at best be a complete ass to everybody.
He's told me stories that in his mind make complete sense and he is in the right of basically him just flipping out over very small things with coworkers. Since his uncle died he is doing it with me and he genuinely doesn't realize its a total over reaction. Also he has an aggressive mannerism...
I'm learning not to be so skeptical.. Honestly I thought Stevens PTSD was exaggerated first time I met him. He blamed PTSD for losing jobs and not trying very hard and I pretty much assumed it was an excuse. 6 months later his PTSD symptoms start flaring up and almost everything he told me was...
Hey I am engaged to a PTSD vet and I'm learning from this site that a lot of what I thought was just him is actually symptoms. He lost his uncle a week ago and has watched him pass away for the last month and is currently going off the rails a little. PM if you like. I'm finding that a lot of...
Yeah I usually try to say to him but its hard. He just flipped from great mood to pissy one because I put my phone in the seat pocket on the greyhound. Got really annoyed then was adamant it was not him. He's a living nightmare when he's like this.
Mostly he's been like this for almost a month...
I'm trying to hear all that stuff its just emotionally draining. He is acting kind of crazy since his uncle passed and I can't even talk to him about it because he'll flip out at me and then be mean for a few hours after that. If if ask him to stop being nasty I'm being needy. Two days ago he...
Thank you for that both. I needed it this morning. He woke up in a great mood then disappeared into his phone and now will barely look at me.. And then having to ask for a hug last night like I'm hideous or something. Still trying to find out in my head what I did to make him hate me this much...
Thank you very much for your patience with me. Its difficult in a new relationship to gauge how much of my honeys difficulty is him being difficult and how much is PTSD. He has a very severe psych evaluation which I read and assumed was exaggerated..
