Supporter Newbie, I'm A Supporter, Friended Someone With Ptsd

[helper987]

My friend's been in/out of therapy numerous years, only last Aug 2012 did they properly diagnose PTSD. I am here to hear & learn what PTSD suffers go through in their daily lives, so that I can better understand and help my friend.

Any suggestions where to start reading? Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum helper987.

Got to the supporters section in the forums and beging there. Go to supporters general discussion and post what you want to discuss. Get to know the supporters a great group of people. They have been there, and are going through the process of caring for someone with Ptsd.

I know you will get alot of help, information, and support. You could also read their diaries and see how much you have in commone with them. You are not alone. Peace and healing.
