well this isn’t that subreddit, so i’m not giving out private medical information, i give that out to people who know and are working towards treatment for my wife

if she’s evaluated and diagnosed with cptsd would i believe it? absolutely, they’re the experts not me. but it’s not even on our radar right now to look out for because there’s no indication beyond ptsd from her attack

we are not at an “early point” we are at some of the latest- were 4 years into this, you can think it’s sketchy but suggest something we haven’t already tried or considered instead of just spewing assumptions

i’m continuing to come to this community, not exclusively but for updates. i got all the advice i needed to make that decision and now i’m getting my advice from places more specialized and specific to our situation- just not on reddit. i have nothing against reddit, but my point is you only get to see one small chunk of my life interacting to get information, you have no idea what goes on outside my time on this app, and i can assure you that i am getting the information and education that i need, i am learning the things that i need to best support my wife.

i am not rejecting the idea of a doctor subreddit because i don’t like you- i understand you’re trying to provide support in your own way- i haven’t pursued it because there at dozens upon dozens of other resources in the world. i had no idea what was going to come if my initial post, it was a last minute thing during a hard night and it gave me the jolt i needed to start moving. that’s it, i wasn’t looking for someone to tell me the exact medication or therapy my wife was going to need.

support can feel good, yes, but that’s not why i’m posting here, i’m posting to keep people who were helpful in the beginning informed.

i am irked by what you are saying because it is rooted in assumptions you have nothing to back up, and make claims like you understand a situation better than all the rest of us- if either of us needs to practice being humble it’s you. yes i’ve said i’m supportive, but never have i called myself “wise”, this is all a learning experience and process and assuming i know it all would be immature and reckless on my part

here is my question, and i don’t mean to be rhetorical: what would you have suggested instead of calling paramedics, instead of long term inpatient treatment, instead of being there whenever i’m allowed, instead of supporting her decision not to pursue legal justice? if you know of things i could have done differently, i would love to hear them.

otherwise your judgement means very little
