My partner suffers from ptsd and I am finding it hard.

I always seem to say the wrong thing, I want to help him but im not sure what I should be doing.

I was just hoping that someoe could give me some advice on what I should and should not do this is all really new to me and it breaks my heart watching him suffer in silence.

Hi tash, welcome to the forum.
You should go down to the supporters section and take a look at the articles and other peoples posts. You'll fine a lot of helpful information there.
Relationships with PTSD are possible, they just take a lot of extra work.

I admire you for reaching out and trying to arm yourself with information to get through this with your partner. My husband is not as supportive of me and it hurts. I know I make things difficult but it hurts to know that he doesn't care enough to learn about what I am dealing with and to try and learn how he may be able to support me. Your partner is very lucky to have you even though they may not express this.

I wish you luck in finding your way.

Tash,

Welcome to the board. I think reading what other people have posted will be helpful. It’s difficult for one person to try to advise you as what works for one may not work for another. But if you begin be reading posts and checking out some of the articles, you might find that you can relate to a lot of what is written here.
