You Know You Are A Ptsd Supporter When:

[Deleted member 28812]

Beautiful thread.
When you met spouses of people with PTSD and people with PTSD on this boards and realize you are not alone.

 

[LilBit]

When it has been 22 months and 7 days and your heart still feels like it is breaking each and every day.

This one is for my wife... When you don't watch certain movies because it might trigger your sufferer even though you want to watch it, and then watch it when your sufferer isn't around.

When you don't know if you can write on this thread but then you remember who told whom to try help somewhere, online if it needs be, so here we go.
When you talk about each other's history in one-words and whole lines get to be just the mess because you're swearing & shooing the ghosts as a team play when you couldn't then.
When all the love on this thread makes you reminisce to all the lil things in your relationship and grin this wide.

 

[Sighs]

When you come home from work one day and call out "Hello" and get yelled out for "waltzing in here calling out 'hello'" while he's been dealing with laundry all day... so the next night you come home with a tumble dryer (which you can't really afford) and don't call out anything and get accused of sneaking up on him...

Sigh!

@Sighs here's one related to yours... when your vet buys you a keychain with a bell on it so he can hear you coming.

*lol*

When you have a go-to topic of conversation when your sufferer isn't doing well... I know more about the AR-15 than any good woman should.

When the dance you can do the best is the trigger tango... while trying to avoid their triggers hard.
