Thank you all for your input, being on here reading other stories and having support really helps.I hope he wont wait until he deploys to contact me, he still has a key to my house and stuff here anyway so if he isn't coming back he will have to get his stuff at some point. I love him and I am...

That is what my therapist thinks, she used to work at the VA with ptsd patients so I trust her but I may discuss this more with her next week because I agree with you I think he still has so much on his mind he just can't deal right now. I think she is trying to look out for me too because she...

I have not seen my SO in 3 weeks and tomorrow would have been 2 weeks of not talking to him. I went to my therapist today and she suggested I contact him and just ask him how he was doing. So I did, he replied back within 5 minutes and said "im ok how are you". I then texted him back(with my...

Yes I have considered the fact that this may not be ptsd and he just needs space and time to think and get over his marriage but you have no right to talk to me like I am an idiot or tell me I am obsessing over things. I do have hobbies, I do go out with my friends, I try to do everything I can...

Your post sounds exactly like what I am going through, 1 year of being together never any problems then he started getting depressed around Veterans day. After that it was one stressful thing after another that piled up then one day he told me he needed space. I was so confused, like you I...

I am glad that he is posting and reaching out i just wish he would reach out to me too. I am the only person he is isolating from and it hurts, I haven't seen him in 2 weeks and haven't talked to him in over a week. I am afraid to contact him because 1 week after he left, before I learned about...

In my mind I know is is my GAD making me think irrationally but what set me off is those emotion things you can post that say feeling...and you put whatever you are feeling, he put that he was feeling blessed, accomplished, and confident, didn't say anything else. Like I said I worry about...

I guess I am thinking in my standpoint that I don't post anything on facebook that isn't real, my moods included. I guess in the back of my mind i know other people dont do that but i am a very honest person so it is hard for me to think that way. I try to think of it as not real but it is hard...

Let me start by saying I absolutely hate Facebook! I'm not really sure if this is a question or I just need to vent. My sufferer has been in isolation for 2 weeks now but it seems to only be from me, on his Facebook page it looks like he is leading his normal life and nothing is wrong. He never...

@Sighs yes it does! Thank you for showing me this!

Thank you all for your feedback and support. Right now I think he just has no clue what is going on with him, to my knowledge he has never been diagnosed with ptsd(if he has he never told me he only said he was in anger management/counseling at the VA) and I know he knows there is a problem but...

I recently posted a thread asking questions about isolation and some people got offended that I said "they" and my thread eventually got locked. I did not mean to offend anyone I am totally new to all of this and I am just trying to get a handle on things that I could expect or not expect from...

I am new to ptsd and am trying hard to understand everything that goes along with it. Right now my boyfriend(?) has moved out and wants to have no contact with me while he needs space, my question is what do other sufferers do when they isolate themselves? Where do they go? Do they move out...

Hi Sarah05, I'm a Sarah too! Thank you so much for your input it makes me feel a lot better that I am doing the right thing for right now and does give me some more insight on how he could be thinking. The therapist I am going to see uses to work at the VA with ptsd sufferers so I am hoping she...

Thank you all for your opinions, as far as if I think he loves me, I look back on the past year everything that we have been through the way he acted towards me, even up to the day before he left he never stopped telling me he loved me and I want to hold on to that. We never had any major...

Casey_03 he has not said he has PTSD but did tell me at one point he was in counseling for anger management. Also when we were at the beach last year a horrible thunder storm came through that was extremely loud and shook the house and he completely freaked out, tried covering his head with...

FridayJones I get where you are coming from with this but when he found out he was being deployed we discussed everything that goes into a deployment, how often would we talk, him still being able to pay bills, what to do with his truck for a year, etc. I feel like he wouldn't have even bothered...

I have posted in a couple other forums so I will try nit to get this one be so long winded...My boyfriend(if I can still call him that) moved out last week saying he needed space, I am new to this so didn't understand why, kept asking him if it was me and he always said it was him and he needed...

Sweetpea76 he has not been diagnosed with it but he has a lot of the symptoms. I am hoping he gets help but it has worried me that he won't because he is afraid of letting people down and doesn't want other soldiers knowing there is a problem. All I can do is hope and wait. As far as him...

Anrish Thank you for your input, I see where you are coming from as far as it sounding like he took me for granted but up until November everything was perfect, he was always doing things for me, comforted me when I was upset about something, did whatever he could to make me happy. In August our...

Hi, I am hoping to get some advise and perspective about my current situation with my boyfriend. Sorry it is so long but I wanted to get all of the details out so I can get good feedback and advise, I also needed vent a little :) We met last march and fell in love quickly and moved in together...

I appreciate you giving me your input from another point of view, I want to be optimistic but at the same time I need to be realistic and prepare in case he doesn't come back. The reason I thought maybe it was ptsd is because in December would have been their 10 year anniversary and then January...

It is hard right now, I want to send him a text just to tell him that I love him and I'm here if he needs me but with the way he reacted last night when I called him I feel like I just need to leave him alone and let him contact me when he is ready. I don't want him to think that I have...

It has only been a week so I am hoping once he goes through the army to get help that they won't deploy him, on the other hand I'm afraid he won't get help because he doesn't want to let anyone down by not getting deployed. He has so much on his mind right now I think he just has no idea what to do

Thank you so much for your input it is nice to know that I am not alone and that there is hope for him to get better. Right now he does not want me contacting him at all he says he doesn't want any distractions while he is trying to fix his problems. I have asked him to get help because I am...
