General Can I Help Her

[Mr_Mr]

Have been married 5 years. She suffered from abuse at home and some external issues as well and has C-PTSD. She was on anti-depressants and came off them a while ago. This "woke her up" and forced her to deal with some issues in her life. She ended up cutting her parents and brother off. She has not worked in years and it has been hard keeping up with everything.

I thought things were getting better but recently she has started getting frustrated and upset. She will hit herself, cut herself, get angry at me for whatever reason and kick me out. Does it get better? How do I offer her support when I don't know what to do and she won'y speak to me?

Hi Mr_Mr

Is she getting any outside help, as in some kind of therapy to help her deal with everything.

We all want to support them, but the hardest work has to come from them working on their issues. If she is not and wont except these things are a probelm, you in a bit of a dark hole with it all.

You cannot stop her harming herself if she does not see it as a problem to be dealt with.

Read some of the other threads and see if any of it makes sense to you, especially the sticky threads at the top of the different sections.

Take good care of yourself as best you can while all this si going on, its tough to do at times, but so important.

Mr_Mr,
Do your best to encourage her to get the help before things get any worse than they already are. Keep positive and hopeful.
