@boodle I thank you for your kind thoughts and sympathy at this difficult time for you, be assured you have mine too.x

Thanks @boodle, I remember your wisdom, I don't know about mine! In reality it was my ignorance that was my undoing, if I had known sooner what I know now things might have been different? I just time to heal and then I will move on.x

After little over a month on your amazing Forum (actually it seems much longer) I really wish I could be relating a success story or a least an update of some positive progress, but sadly I can't. My happiness along with that of so many others has been wrenched from my grasp. I have lovingly and...

Hi nola39 So sorry to hear your story, I know exactly what you're going though and the pain you are feeling. I am there too. I am not an expert or a sufferer, just a supporter like you, but it is my belief that it is love itself that triggers PTSD symptoms.Their will be those who pounce on this...

For those of you who have seen my clumsy activity out on the Forum you will know I am a Supporter of a Sufferer diagnosed with PTSD and OCD. In parallel with searching for explanations here I have been elsewhere doing the same with OCD. To me at least it is quite simply amazing that a single...

@Abstract I know you came back and gave me a like, so thanks for the like, but frankly I was expecting so much more from you. Having persuaded me to reveal my suspicions I was certain that you would return to the thread with something deep and meaningful. Please don't feel obliged, just though...

Hi @boodle My sufferer also has CPTSD so I would like to know if there are any differences too. All I think I have gleaned is PTSD can result from a single event whereas CPTSD can result from successive events over a period of time. Please don't take my word as gospel; I'm certain an expert will...

Here comes a Jensen hug.......one of the best !

Welcome @WiseOwl. May you find many new friends here and the warmth you deserve. Your deeply honest introduction included a very forthright admission that you sabotaged potential relationships. How you set about it might be entirey obvious but I would still love to hear from you what you...

Hi @ RHizzyful Welcome, I can't recall anyone using the word weird yet to describe a posting here. Just say what you are comfortable with, it's warm and friendly here.

@Shae-Ra Good luck to you too.

Thanks @Abstract and @watundah. I am not there yet but the fog is clearing. My thinking is sometimes way ahead of my knowledge and therefore my ability to express it coherently. I still believe my thoughts have merit and will have to work at making them explainable within accepted conventions.

@The Albatross thank you, it was reading Wikipedia that brought me here. I have been back there again and will continue until I can make sense of it, it's pretty heavy stuff. Thanks too @digger, I will have to regroup on this one. I am now doubting my original understanding.

Once triggered does a sufferer dissociate in a general sense or is their dissociation more channeled in one particular direction or another ? (Patience please I am know I am probably not asking the right questions)

Are there any known rules governing who a sufferer dissociates with once they are triggered?

@recoveringfromptsd thank you.

Hi @recoveringfromptsd I was following this thread and got stuck at "FB", what did you mean please ?

@Abstract Talk about cut to the chase, you are one astute Lady, and whatsmore you have done some homework on me too ! Quite scary really. I am naturally a cautious person and sometimes seek a multitude of confirmations prior to acting and that's with things I know about. Here I am hugely out of...

Mutamion You will be glad you took the plunge, you will find lots of understanding and friends here.

@recoveringfromptsd thank you for your very thorough and harrowing response.

Hi @recoveringfromptsd, I found your reply quite illuminating, thank you, particularly with regard to your reference to hypervigilance, which I know only too well. "becomes part of maintaining a comfort zone that fits within my hypervigilance." Would you please expand a little on the...

I am being drawn to conclude that PTSD sufferers may be more open to manipulation than non sufferers. Can anyone dispel or support this conclusion.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone on the Forum. May we all be blessed with renewed strength and understanding in 2017.

That's wonderful news Boodle, I wish you good luck too.

Oh dear, I really feel for you. I've been there believe you me, actually I am still there. In the beginning I genuinely believed she was a gift that could only have come from the angels. We had four incredible months then it all changed. She said that she was not as well as she thought she was...
