Supporter Hi I'm Ronda Dating Someone With Ptsd

[Rjai]

Hi, I joined to better understand PTSD and get some advice on dating someone PTSD. We have been dating for 4 months and we were living together. Everything seemed fine and then he began to feel the walls closing in on him and moved out. We are still together but know he says he is no good for anyone and doesn't have anything to offer me. He is a good man with a good job and has a 14 year old son. I just do not know what to do. I know not to pressure him and give him his space. I tell him he is a good person and he has alot to offer. He has combat PTSD Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rjai & welcome.

Come on over to the supporters section and start off by reading the sticky threads, lots of very straight forward information.

PTSD can be very hard to live with so don't feel bad about asking questions, venting or having a moan, we will always listen.

Take care of yourself.
