Hello!

[Kimmikins]

Hi there everyone.
I decided to join this forum to get some extra support. I started dating a man with PTSD several months ago, and I love him very much. I really want to understand his situation as best I can so that I can offer him all the support that he needs. I am really looking forward to meeting other people whose loved ones suffer from this condition and to gaining more insight into PTSD.
Thanks in advance for your support and advice!

Welcome, Kimmikins!
This is an awesome resource that I hope helps you.
I am also a suporter, as we are called here.
Head down to the supporter section and you'll find lots of people in your shoes.

Best wishes,
Murphy

Welcome to the forum Kimmikins, follow MurphyJB's advice, there's a great section for supporters and you will also meet great people here online who share their stories. This is a great step you're taking, not just for you BF but for you. I'm a sufferer, but you will notice that you will have some very interesting feedback from us also. This is a very healing forum for both sufferers and supporters.
