Lost

[wessex]

Hi I have come to this forum looking for help as my girlfriend has PTSD and I dont no where to turn or what to do .

She was in a car crash in July and was fine for 2 weeks but its all gone down hill big time . We were looking at getting married and moving in together but now she doesnt speak to me the only contact I have with her is from her mum and its killing me . I love her so much and am trying to understand and give her space but its so so hard.

Someone please help me I dont want to lose the girl of my dreams to this :poop:

If you love her you will see this through. It is going to be a rough ride for you. Give her time and space to recover. Be there for her. Acknowledge that at least she is still communicating even it is through her Mum. She is probably very traumatised at this point in time. Feels very frighten, lost, uncertain, her world has been turned upside down. Just keep showing her your support, talk to her Mum about what you could do. Keep talking here too. :(

Welcome to the forum wessex, sorry to hear that you're having a hard time in your love life because of PTSD. Is she presently consulting a mental health specialist or a doctor ? This is a very hard time for her as she is isolating from those she most loves and trusts. PTSDers tend to do that. Remember that you are not the cause of this, it was the car accident. You can go to the supporters section and the wiki article section to have an idea of what is going on. Best of luck to you.
