New To Ptsd

[patience111]

Hello! I have recently met a very nice gentleman whom has disclosed to me that he is an Iraq Vet that has a high percentage of PTSD. We have only been dating for a short period of time, however, I can already see the strong effects of his PTSD and our moving forward. As he has been honest and upfront with me about his PTSD, and his efforts to continue to improve himself, I would like to support him and myself as well, by learning more about PTSD. Looking forward to meeting you and having a better understanding of PTSD.

Hi patience

Welcome to the forum.

Good for you looking for more information, and support with all this. It is not easy, no one will pretend it is, but a relationship with PTSD in the mix is possible.

If he is in doing all he can for himself, and you learning all you can for your own sake as well as his, the Roller Coaster is possible to ride together. But be prepared for the constant ups and downs and well as the speed changes.

Come down to the supporters area, where you will find loads of useful information for yourself. Take note of the "Sticky notes" at the top of some sections too.

Take care I hope it works out well for you both.
