Thank you for your words Justmehere, Had to take a few days away from the boards, trying to pull a life back together in some form. I guess i have been on here as some suggest just to get answers. I could not express how confused i have been with this situation, especially in the past few...

Thank you Justmehere

Again true EveHarrington, but i can assure you nothing has ever been pinned on the person in question. All we can do is she has the strength to look after herself and consider getting help

Very true but my question was "does this sound like ptsd" i was trying to see if there was potentially more going on. It appears there may be more going on. Sadly my wife will not see a physician, so we must leave it to her

Hi Justmehere, I left my life last week following 9 years of issues surrounding mental health. The final thing was 3 months ago her moods and behaviour went really downhill. I tried my best to kindly get her to agree to speak to her doctor but she wasnt up for it. She would rather end the...

Thanks SamRuck for sharing very kind. May well have a few questions one day, just struggiling to keep on top of stuff at the moment, lot going on sadly (seeing a solicitor today and then need find some accomodation) thank you ever so much

Hello xxxxxxx I gave thought to one of the points you mentioned on Wednesday. DID, now before you mentioned it, I had briefly heard of the term but did not know much of it. After reading about it and watching a few online video clips I thought to mention a few things that I have seen. This...

Hi Sam Ruck it is funny you say this, last week i spoke to a therapist about my wife. (looking to get help for her) she listened to my story and asked me to go away and think about DID. I just did that this morning and i just wrote a reply to her (the therapist). I will paste this into this...

Thanks Kubash, you are 100% right, i do know a nearby organisation to me that can help (i've discussed my situation with them with view to help for my W - and they have offered that i come along to a setting boundaries course and group support evenings ) always a start :) thanks

poor concentration, tiredness,

I would say, i have noted hypervigilence (around any interaction with my W) anxiousness and thats about it.

I see, thanks for sharing... someone once said to me about what i had gone through in the home to watch out for CPtsd in myself. prob that would not be the case, but i know i scored moderate to severe depression (by a relatively respected online tool). guess that is one for me to look at

yes, it is like a defeatist attitude, not what i might have expected

seems like alot of symptoms going on PTSD (which she has a diagnosis of already) and something else too, cheers for your help very very kind and appreciated

when i say pick up on words i mean she is always looking for hidden meanings that are just not there. Always need to choose words carefully

Ref hypervigalince i am not sure, i know she sure picks up on the use of words and i hear a lot of "are you trying to.." avoidance, of course she did use to do this (i used to try help too like turn off the TV when inappropriate stuff came on) but these days she is different and will let it all...

Hey thanks for sharing, mm my W is a bit like that, so i have seen that. One of a few examples would be if in the car i spray the soappy stuff on the windcreen, via the car (pulling the lever) my W will be startled, or when the windscreen wipers start

Thanks, i believe you are right. looks like alot to resolve to be honest i am in a bit of disbelief over it all

Thanks Justmehere, read your post, thanks for posting. I wonder if I or for that matter she ( or we) will ever know. I ended up out of the house as she would rather end the marriage than consider things were not quite right. There is a chance she may reach out to me but will need cross that...

Thank you Phoenix, i will look up "exaggerated startle response" thats a new term to me. I have to be honest my suspicion is with BPD. Can't remember if i mentioned in the orig post but i am now out of the relationship, told to leave our home after trying to get her to agree to getting...

Good point, ultimately i don't, tbh did not see it clearly, things got worse teh last few months and i started having to look for answers..... thanks

thanks, appreciated all the best, Ruskin

Thank you Kubash, your words do help and lead me to think i am not over reacting to the behaviour Thanks Ruskin Cheers Somerandomguy I guess i had been hoping for someone to say yeah that sounds like ptsd or no that is not like ptsd. Ref abuse thats the way i see it now, i am in fact now...

Dear Friends I’m posting on here as I am concerned for my wife. Now she had a ptsd diagnosis nearly 4 years ago and received some CBT for around 7 months, perhaps around once a week, but not all weeks. A very brief history of my wife would be she was sadly sexually abused under the age of 7...
