Very Relieved To Find Forum - Fiance Has PTSD

[lucart64]

Hi. My name is Mandy and I am so happy to have found this forum. I live in Oregon. My fiance has PTSD and I really would like to know how to help him. He was diagnosed about 18 years ago after serving in Iraq. We have only been together for 2 1/2 years and his symptoms seem to be getting worse. Any suggestions on how to help him would be wonderful.

Welcome lucart64 :hello:

I think you will find very helpful info through all the threads and especially in the "Learning Section" (on left) and the "Carer's Section" also, where you can look up topics that can relate to your specific situation/ feelings/ needs.

I wish you both the very best!

Welcome to the forum lucart64.

Try to get into some counceling it will benefit both of you. Learn as much about PTSD as you can. Somedays are up other are down. My bf's ptsd seem to have also gotten worse but last year was also a tough year for him. His step dad passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Did something maybe trigger your fiance? Try not to take things personal as hard as it my seem some days. Also if he wants space give it to him. Did you see signs of his ptsd the past couple of years?
