I admire your determination to continue to educate yourself for your partner and for the forum. It shows selflessness and good character to help those in need, and expect nothing in return.
Thanks Tammy. To be totally honest the reason why I help others is that I found PTSD very hard to deal with on a couple of occasions and really wished someone was there for me who knew how to deal with it. I mean I have lots of supportive friends but they have no idea of PTSD let alone how to interact with a sufferer who was getting shit thrown at him from all directions. Hence why I now invest my energies in sharing that knowledge. Really great thing is I have learned so much and Anthony is such a good PTSD sufferer when there are no negative external influences that the majority of the time you hardly know he is sick and we have such a happy time.
For other Carers out there...you can learn a lot reading what the sufferers write :wink:
Thanks for your kind words Rachel and thanks to the newbies Judy and Arctic boy....may you learn helpful PTSD things!
