Soul Mates

[brodes]

Well where do i start, i came to this great site at the beggining of march of this year as i was in a very dark place, & had really know where to turn to. Since being here , i have found so much compassion , & understanding from all ,even know i did not do a great deal. I spent 10 years in the australian army, as a medic & was d/c with ptsd due to service related trauma. The time that i have spent on this site, has introduced me to some very amazing & special people, which i have become very close with, they know who they are, & i thank you so much for your support & understanding. Every one on this site has a story to tell, about what happened to them , & how they were affected, There is one person who i have become very close to since being here & have had so much support from her, she is one of the bravest , stongest , most caring person i have ever had the pleasure of knowing, her name is Femalevet, & yes i do care greatly about this very brave young women, she has been through so much & more than i can ever imagine , & yes this is not a dating site it is a combat ptsd site, & if my member ship is cancelled because of my feelings towards this person , then so be it , but i hope that it does not come to that. Every one on this site in my eyes is brave & has served there respective countries with pride & so much courage , & i have so much respect for every one here. So i think i will get to the point here , Femalevet & myself are, i suppose having a long distance relationship, so i thought i would just share this with all you great people, i will be flying to the America in august to meet this amazing women & who knows what could happen , life is to short so i am going to make the most of it, & i suppose i do love this girl, respect her & would be so proud to walk by her side as i think she is a hero, like so many of you great people here. I know Jacqueline feels the same so if any one does feel that i have stepped over the line please don't be frightened to dish it up, but im pretty sure that is not going to happen. What better than two people who have ptsd to have a understanding of each other, i think so anyway,so any problems out there let me know & i shall cancell my membership staight away. Willis williams thank you so much for your support mate , you are a true friend, & if things do go to plan , yes mate you will be my best man. Jacqueline i do love you with all my heart & you are my hero. Cheers every one . Matt.

He is a wonderful man and he has been of great support to me and he is my hero too. I appreciate your support "wife of" and i hope everyone here can understand how these things just happen. I am no hero though and while Matt seems to think so I also know that there are many others here who are way more heroic tha i am. But matt is my support right now and my partner as far as I can see it and I hope everyone else does to. I love this forum and most everyone i know who is involved with it. we all share a common bond....it just so happens I share a little more with matt. So again thanks for any support from those who wish to give it and I never expected this to happen but it did and I am so happy about it. it is really a grreat thing and he has been of such great encouragement to me especially when i thought I would never be able to open up my heart ever again. Well that is about it and Matt you are my hero for being man enough to come out in the open and tell your feelings. You are definitely my hero as well.

Well the cats out of the bag. Doesn't sound like there is to much of a problem. Nobody plans to fall in love. But when we do it is a very good thing. Especially for us who suffer PTSD because we tend to have a hard time with love. So congrats.

Matt and femalevet,

Being a newbie here, what can I say? This is outstanding news! In fact it is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. If you two can find love and happiness out of this site, what better outcome can be had (except to also get a handle on PTSD)?

Congratulations, you have my support.

On ya you two, there is so much hate, war, and destruction in this world it's good to see something nice. Like the sprouting of new trees after a forest fire.
