The man I care about has not told me straight up that he has ptsd. However, because of my Psychology background I see the symptoms. He has been deployed. He has nightmares, is moody, is distant, has a hard time connecting and is drinking quite a bit.
We got into an argument because he was ignoring my texts. And then I told him that I am worried about him and listed his symptoms that were concerning to me. He has ignored me totally now. I know I am not his doctor or his psychologist but I cant help but feel concerned. It has been a week since we've spoken. I have told him I am his friend, that I support him, have tried giving him space. And even said I was sorry. He is not saying anything to me at all. I have dated a person with PTSD before and understood the needing space. I am hurting right now, Ive been depressed all week because I don't know if he is going to come back. I miss him.
As a person with PTSD what do you need from the people who love you?
What can I do now?
Any advice?
