Hi Dot!

I am doing ok. I have a lot going on in my life currently like a divorce and homelessness but the PTSD is kinda back burner. For me, I am getting beyond the rage part and working on controlling the things that set off my rage. Once I master that I will work on anger and hopefully see some daylight. One big thing to understand is that there is no cure for this only levels of control or complete lack of it. Relationships take a lot of work normally but with PTSD it can get to be impossible.

Learn his triggers and try to reduce them. Understand his rejection of everything is not personal but a coping method that all PTSd suffers have. He does not hate you but you might think he does.

Feel free to ask me questions and I will try to help out. Get him to join the Combat PTSD site that's sister to this he can find a lot to relate to on there. And friends. Something that's hard to find anywhere else.

I am looking for friends that have gone through what I have in Denver is there anyone here that can help.

Hi everyone I am a 40 year old male that has had PTSD for the last about 5 years. Reason I have it now is that I am a disabled veteran and I am home alone a lot and all I think about sometimes is what happen to me when I was 9 years old. I was sexually abused when I was 9 by a much older brother. This went on for years. I was 16 when he finally stopped.

I would like to find other people that has went through similar things that I went through. I do have a wife and child but my PTSD sometimes gets in the way of having a regular life. I sometimes yell at them for the smallest things. I am seeing a therapist each month and taking meds alongside all my other pain meds.

I sometimes see my younger self and I do talk to him and sometimes I act out on the ideas that he puts in my head. I don't mess with younger children. I actually go out to the adult theaters and see what kind of sexual act I can get into. Now don't get me wrong I do play safe but the problem is when this is happening my mind is the 9 year old boy that I was and after what ever is preformed in the theater after I walk out I am back to my 40 year old self and I get very discussed with myself because of what I have done. I am hoping on here someone has went through or is going through similar things I am going through.

I actually have nightmares about what happened to me too and now the doc has me taking meds for that now and I am just hoping I can start to speak to someone else that has went through what I have gone through. If you are out there please help me. I can't do this alone.
