General Venting

[Woundedhealer]

What’s frustrating to me is that I am so heartbroken over this break up but if I message him to tell him how I feel or ask for closure than I’m adding to his stress! It’s so unfair! I’ve done my research, I understand and PTSD is a f*cking monster that hurts everyone involved and I’m so sorry for the sufferers but it f*cking hurts the supporters too!
I’m just venting and I mean no disrespect to anyone but I just wish I could wave a magic wand and take the pain away from everyone affected! It’s kinda like how they say alcoholism is a family disease... so is PTSD! Everyone suffers to a point

I'm so sorry that you are hurting so bad. And to not have the space to talk and put closure and say goodbye is adding to the hurt and frustration.

And you are right. It affects so many people.

Acknowledging your pain and frustration. Wishing time and healing to come your way. Heart hugs.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's so hard and can be heartbreaking at times from what I've seen in the short time I've been exposed to it (supporter here too, if I even am that anymore). It isn't fair, it really sucks and its a demon that hurts it's hosts as well as it's loved ones. I wish I had some good words of advice but I just know how hard it can be and hope you can find things to keep you busy and take care of yourself because your health is also important.

Maybe give him some time and space and when he's in a better place you will be able to have a conversation. I know how hard it is to not reach out but it's in their best interest when they are going through this.

Yeah, people don’t realize how much the family and friends of those with PTSD suffer. I feel your pain and I am sorry for it. Hang in there and remember you are not alone,

I feel your pain and yes PTSD is no f*cking fair. For me, the hardest part is, never being given the chance of a relationship....not knowing if we could have had a great relationship had it not been for PTSD. It feels unfinished even though I left him three months ago. Hang in there...it may sound totally unrealistic now, but at one point, you will be able to move on without him. It takes time to move on, to let go of the dream, of what could have been without PTSD, to let go of unanswered questions.
