My vet & I have not been in an official relationship since March. Since then he periodically reaches out to me. We have seen each other a handful of times. He has attempted suicide once, told me about it. He was so scared, so upset, so raw and promised he would never even consider it again. That...

I hate that my world can come crashing down in a moments notice. I hate that I want to believe in good things happening, that even though repeatedly I have been shown that things fall apart. But like a complete fool, every damn time, I get my hopes up that everything will be ok. Or for f*cks...

I have been very scatter-brained, having difficulty with my short term memory, feeling like it's more difficult to make decisions and not getting much sleep. Sometimes I just feel like I'm fumbling through the day not really getting anything accomplished. Is anybody else feeling the same way or...

He did not claim that love heals PTSD. The idea is being open to love and loving yourself decreases the symptoms of PTSD

There are Christian dating websites that might put you in contact with more like minded single women

Here is a link to an article I read that gave me hope. It might be worth looking into this http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/10/23/ptsd-is-really-post-traumatic-heart-disorder-only-love-heals/

I read this article today and it gave me great hope. Thought I would share it for combat vets & supporters. It's probably applicable to anyone suffering with PTSD http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/10/23/ptsd-is-really-post-traumatic-heart-disorder-only-love-heals/

One thing I struggle with, in regards to moving on & letting go, is that I feel like the sufferer deserves to have someone who is on their side no matter what. I have tried to back off and give him space. Even though I haven't seen my vet in a while, if I don't make contact he asks me if...

I have been feeling the exact same way. I would not ever end my own life. But I have begged God to take me. I cannot imagine enduring 40+ more years of feeling how I feel now. I feel like a failure in every aspect of my life. I post positive quotes on Facebook, I have deleted negative or toxic...

He does see someone at the VA, very infrequently. He refuses to take meds. He does well when he is getting good sleep, eating well, exercising daily & not drinking. I told him I would never nag him to do what he knows he needs to do to stay healthy. And I don't. He called me around 3am the other...

Once again my man contacts me, professes his love for me after not hearing much from him for a while. He says he needs to see me. We make plans, that day comes & goes. . .not a peep from him. I had even sent him a message the day before saying I was looking forward to tomorrow. That message was...

Being crystal clear, communicating your needs honestly. Always letting supporter know how you feel. For me the wondering and guessing is hard.

Thank you for the suggestions. I do agree text is not always the best format. Unfortunately it is currently my only form of communication with him. He has excited contacted me to make plans, expresses how much he misses me and needs to see me, then plans are broken. So we have not been face to...

Most of the time my friends and family ask things like "are you guys still a couple?" "Why did he post _____on Facebook, is something wrong?" "Do you guys even see each other?" Or there are comments like "he needs to figure what he wants" or "so are you going to stay with him?". I always feel...

I am so sorry you went through that! I'm confused as to why no one got into trouble for that. I hope you find a path to healing.

I am in a "relationship" with a sufferer of combat PTSD. We are in contact at least every 2 days or so, but it's been over 2-3 weeks since I've seen him. When we text, each time it can seem like I'm communicating with different people. Sometimes he messages me one word, I will respond and hear...

I do not think serving or aiding humans is their only purpose. It would be difficult for me to answer every purpose for every living thing, while I may answer some, only God truly knows. And if humans didn't exist, answering that would only be speculation or opinion since that is not reality

I am a Christian. I have a degree in science. The more I learn scientifically about life, matter, the complexities of all the inner workings of living things all the way down to a cellular level- the more it points to a purposeful God as opposed to accidental, coincidental, evolutionary...

@Cj77 why would you think animals have no purpose? Many animals serve to aid humans on this journey- protection, food, clothing, companionship. I think dogs are as close to angels as you get- they have mastered unconditional love.

God is not a genie in a bottle granting wishes. Although you feel He isn't answering your prayers, the answer is not always yes. This is not a sick puppet show with God causing pain and then ignoring requests to intervene. The reason God "allows" bad things to happen is because he gave us...

That may be misconstrued. Leave that out. Forgiveness does not have to be spoken to be given. Especially if she hasn't asked for it.

I'm not sure that what I feel is anger so much as hurt & disappointment. But it hurts to try so hard, to bite my tongue, exhibit more patience than I knew I had, to bend over backwards, to step aside & put my feelings on hold, to know that none of this will ever be done for me. It hurts to think...

I think it was a heartfelt letter that shows your growth as well as sincere apologies. I know that if I were to receive a letter like that it would mean the world to me. I think it will help her to know how you feel and how you view her.

It's always scary to open up your feelings to someone, to feel vulnerable. I understand that completely. I do think it will be healing for both of you, even if it doesn't lead to reconciling. I hope you send it & feel peace as a result : )

I completely agree that you should send it. Those words can lead to healing
