Update: Got him into both his therapist and psychiatrist right away after my posts. They agreed to add yet another drug to his cocktail. So now along with the Lexapro and Trazadone, they've added Wellbutrin. I agree he could or should prob be on some sort of disability with being unable to...

I'm up at 4:30 am typing here because he decided to come in and wake me up because he is lonely on the couch. I sent him back to the couch. My compassion is drained.

And thanks, yep I'm fully aware he has a discorded called PTSD.

In no way was I asking for divorce advice. I'm fully aware of how that works. We have zero assests, filing bankruptcy, no alimony would be paid and he's not the biological father of my children. So no worry about visitation there. This man could not handle visitation with his own biological...

The rollercoaster continues. My husband, the sufferer got fired again. This is the second time he's been fired from a job in less then 10 months. This was his 4th job in the last 10 months. He up and quit the other two with no notice. He's 52. Job before last he was actually doing well, 4...

... and I need to make peace with the fact that this is my path. My mother was mentally ill. My younger brother was very mentally ill, schizophrenic. I cared for them both into my adult life. I suppose that is what has given me even half the patience I have. My husband doesn't appear...

I love the sound of shattering glass! think making a mosaic with all those shards would be peaceful... and symbolic. I would love to go shatter some plates! But my property isn't that big. I keep myself busy with tending to my gardens and my latest hobby, chickens. Watching my chickens peck...

He's been extremely emotional and apologetic. He's expressing feelings of guilt and no self worth. He kept himself busy all weekend... installed a ceiling fan, new porch light, new gate in the backyard. He cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom and cleaned out the pool. He even folded all the...

He's home. Just found out he had got yet another speeding ticket, TWO MONTHS AGO. He didn't tell me, internalized it, was afraid to tell me because it's $406! I'm sleeping in the guest room tonight. He's extremely prickly right now. I suggested he shower, take his meds and go to bed.

Thank you for your support... your words felt good to read. I just want a normal husband. Whatever that is. I just want to fix whatever the hell it is that's broken in his head. I know just wishful ranting. He just called, to say he is nervous and about 40 minutes from home. He says he's...

I think it's been about 3 months since I logged in. Hubby, the sufferer, had been in weekly therapy sessions, seeing his psychiatrist bi-weekly, seemed to have vast improvement on his latest cocktail of medication. I was feeling hopeful and starting to relax again.... ... but then a couple...

Just am up date. We addressed his memory loss with his psychiatrist. We're told the combo of his new drug cocktail as well as being in therapy can all indeed contribute to memory loss. My husband's therapist has now suggested my husband dig in deep into what's caused his PTSD by emerging into...

Hello Hector Welcome to the board. I myself am fairly new here too. If find this board to be chock full of information, compassion and support. What brings you here? MW

@grimalkin thank you so much for your response, suggestions and ideas. I find an odd comfort in reading that others experience what I have/do. I accept your *hugs* and send some right back ☺️ Does your sufferer experience memory loss? My husband is experiencing it more and more. I'm not sure if...

Well we are married, so yes we are physically close everyday. He's impossible at keeping track of time, I have to micromanage him every morning or else the kids would be late for school and he'd be late for work. I've tried phases of just letting him go on his own and it always results in...

I would seek the guidence of a licensed professional, a therapist. Because regardless of a label that may or may not apply to you, it seems you could benefit from the help of a therapist.

Thank you all for the comments... brought tears to my eyes that you understand and know what I'm going through. I've been contemplating divorce. I'm having a very difficult time (I know he is too). I'm a fighter though. I'm looking forward to my own therapy. In the meantime I'm so glad I found...

I'm fairly new to this board. My husband's diagnosis of PTSD and treatment, both therapy and a new cocktail of drugs are recent, like less then a month ago. His cycles of depression, isolation and rage are nothing new. Lately he seems to be worse though. Since he started therapy...

I feel like my sufferer is trying to sabotage my new job, my dream job, and our marriage. I work from home but can not be interupted. I cringe if he has a week day off, he constantly interupts my work. Yesterday he forgot to pick up the kids from school! I had to drop work and fly out the door...

Have you tried an app/website called Good RX? It shows you which local pharmacy has the lowest price and gives you a deep discount coupon code to give your pharmacist. I have used this at Walgreens and found out thru this app how much cheaper Costco pharmacy is too! Peace and Light to you.

Hi @Scared for now I too suffered childhood abuse. I've battled anxiety my whole life. I understand the struggle. I want to share with you my journey with medication especially Xanax. I built a tolerance to it rather quickly and it became less and less effective which led me to think I needed...

Thank you both. Yes I am looking into counseling/support group for myself next week. I'm not sure I can stop being his manager... he is forbidden from managing our finances or even having access to his debit card or checkbook because he is very impulsive with spending. He gets overwhelmed...

I empathize with you! 3 years into marriage my husband has been recently diagnosed with PTSD. He is now in weekly treatment and medicated. They told me his treatment is going to get really intense and things may get worse as they open his wounds to attempt to clean them out. I'm white knuckling...

I'm new here. My husband was recently diagnosed with PTSD and is still being evaluated for possibly bipolar disorder and ADHD. This journey to diagnosis and treatment was instigated by me. I knew something was wrong beyond him being just a f*cking prick. So now what? Now that he has a label...
