Carer of a Soldier

[JenSees]

The man I love is a soldier. He's been home from Iraq for over a year now. We've only been friends until recently. Now that we are closer, he is trusting me with more of the details of his PTSD symptoms. I, of course, want to help in any way that I can, but often feel that I fall short.

I'm joining the forum to learn how to be more of a practical support and to have a place to vent if I need to. Researching the topic just isn't the same as discussion with real people.

Thanks for the welcome. I just stopped by and found that my post had been approved. I will start looking around the forum more and start sharing my (our) story.

JenSees,

I just joined the forums as well. It's late at night and I find myself not wanting to sleep for the dreaming. I'm an Iraq-era veteran with diagnosed PTSD. I've been out since 2006 and have been trying to find resources for my fellow vets.

I'm here because I need to know that I'm not alone. I hope your soldier understands that he isn't. I have some veterans resources if you are interest.
