Hey Gee, welcome to the forums.
what can I do to help him with this battle I love him dearly and I just want him to know that I am here on his side to help in whatever way possible
Be patient with him, and accepting of him and his symptoms without judgement.
Be willing to listen, and willing to learn.
Seek help/support if
you need it, and be honest with yourself about what you can and can't handle in a relationship; being a supporter to someone with PTSD is certainly not for the fainthearted and if it gets to a place where it is too much for you, then you will be doing neither of you a favour by staying in the relationship.
he wants to block me and everyone out what do I do?
You first need to have a serious think about whether you can handle this being a regular occurrence in your relationship moving forward.
Unfortunately, PTSD and isolation are great friends. I speak as a sufferer who has just spent the last week isolating.
If you decide that you are going to continue with your relationship, then you need to accept that your boyfriend will isolate in the future. And it might be that he isolates and vanishes on Christmas/other holidays/your birthday/etc because of whatever trigger and you need to be accepting of that.
Is this the first time he has isolated since you have been together?
I'm sorry for seeming blunt and not sugar-coating this, but I think it's better for you in the long run to be aware of PTSD reality.
Take a look around on the forums; supporter and sufferer, you might find that some questions you have have been answered already. Or you can start your own thread if you have any questions that you can't find answers for in existing threads.
You can contact the staff through this link ->
Contact Us if you need any help with posting threads or anything else.
I am sure you will find plenty of support here from others in the same boat :)
