Sufferer Ptsd After Husband's Affair

[anthony]

Ptsd is from a one off sudden trauma and cptsd is fron ongoing trauma like affairs abuse or perhaps bullying.

Adi, whilst I appreciate some of what you say is accurate, in that emotional pain is relevant, this forum is not here to support emotional pain and hard times, we're here to support catastrophic trauma that creates PTSD.

PTSD is not from one-off events at all. That is myth and nonsense. cPTSD is not for relationship breakdowns. cPTSD is not an actual diagnosis at this time, and it is not to reflect longevity at all. It reflects an additional spectrum of personality trait problems due to longevity abuse, such as child abuse, being a POW, stolen and used for prostitution, and such things. cPTSD has nothing to do with a normal relationship suddenly going fowl.

People need to stop reading and perpetuating nonsense they read on some random website. Go to the factual sources such as a psychiatric association or Government entity. Stop reading religious website, psychologists opinionated websites, and such.

I am experiencing a similar story to the one the woman described. My husband didn't have an affair, but I saw him - hard to describe this - make big bedroom eyes at a woman walking down an aisle toward him. I thought he was looking at me, then found out he was looking at her. This triggered a painful incident in my past of my father's betrayal of my mother and a promise to myself never to marry anyone who would betray me. I got PTSD and was in treatment for a year an a half. The womanizing continued on and off, usually just making me ill for a week. but a month ago we had another serious incident in a restaurant, and I have PTSD again (or still?). My psychiatrist just added Abilify to my meds, and I'm worried about taking it, about what it says about my mental health. I have a call in to him to ask more, But I completely understand the woman's point of view, if her husband had never done what he did, the PTSD would never have been triggered.

*wipes eyes* - I needed that belly laugh. Normally I get offended by this sort of rubbish but the idea that you can get PTSD because your husband LOOKS at another woman... :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: And your psychiatrist has actually diagnosed this? :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

To give that poster above Friday the benefit of the doubt, they did say their father did something to their mother. If was abusive, and she witnessed it, then maybe? I know what my gut says but...

By the way they are round,slighty squidgy, and resemble peaches :)

Good grief, Laurie, British peaches must look REALLY different from what I'm used to....:cautious: :roflmao:

 

[Deleted member 20280]

Of course, we keep our peaches closely guarded, they are not for sale to outsiders and they are grown in secret locations all over the UK under heavy armed guard. They are our peaches!

You are only used to European Peaches and they are totally different to English Peaches hence your confusion. ;)

Oh please, can we get a humor section for archiving all of this golden material.

My psychiatrist just added Abilify to my meds

I think your psychiatrist added abilify to your meds to help with your schizophrenic manifestations of fantasy vs reality. Not because you have PTSD.

The nonsense gets tiresome what some believe they have PTSD for versus what you can get PTSD from.
