Supporter New To Ptsd

[lighthouse]

i just recently started seeing someone with PTSD, I have known him for a couple of years but we recently took it to the next level. Before we stepped it up we were on a completely different comfort level, now things have been very strained and hard. I did not know what to expect when he started going through his first withdrawal. I have been reading alot of forum posts and I expect to be spending a great deal of time studying and learning so I can be supportive and decide whether I am the right type of person who can go on this journey with him.

Keeping in mind that it " his" PTSD not yours.......you can be supportive and loving without getting lost in his issues-- chances are you will have a better relationship if you can establish and keep good boundaries. In my opinion. Peace!

Welcome to the forum. :)

Lots of support and guidance here. The 'sticky' threads are the best threads to start with and learn from. Remember to take care of yourself too!

Take care.
