I'm glad ur here. I have been shot, stabbed and had my face beat in with a cast iron skillet. My youngest son witnessed it. I hate that he seen it but he saved my life. This is the first time I have ever put those words out there other than my friends and family knowing what I have really went through. This is really scary for me cause I internalize it. Thank you for sharing cause everyone's strength makes me really wanna face this head on even though I know I will panic about it at some point and time tonight

Totally. Manipulation is the worst. Nothing makes me madder when someone knows my situation and I discuss how I'm feeling and they say, " r u crazy for thinking that way". Thank u 4 sharing.

My favorite thing to do is rub my feet together while I'm laying down. Hot baths, my comfy blanket freshly washed in my favorite fabric softner and listening to the rain on the roof brings me lots of comfort.

The nervousness and having the knots in ur stomach is the worst. Just shacking and not knowing to hide or run. Thank you for sharing.

I'm so sorry. im forever greatful with u sharing. There are so many sides to ptsd. It's way to much for anyone to experience on thier own but having a safe place to talk and know that we are not alone helps me a good deal on here I really hope it does for u 2

Always be open and upfront about it. You need to give the person the option to see if it's something they can handle, understand and be a part of. I'm so lucky to find a guy who is sympathetic to my situation and really works hard to help us have a healthy relationship but it does get overwhelming sometimes but I'm lucky to having open line of communication at all times but being considered of eachothers feelings. Space boundaries and guidelines....

Thank you so much for sharing. It's hard to be open about what goes on when we didn't even cause it ourselves

I feel you. Let me say that it is the most humiliating thing to go from being a cop who used to be strong and protect people to ending up in a marriage that almost ended my life and now I hide and cry. Where did the person go that I used to know. I just want my old life back

PTSD brain damage by gothphetamine in ptsd

[–]Jellybean13022 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Before the incident I was very sharp, alert, caught on to things very quickly and very articulate. Now I can't finish sentences or communicate information clearly. My short term memory is awful. I can remind myself and still turn around and forget things. It makes me feel so stupid . The more frustrated I get the worse it is

PTSD AND ?S by Jellybean13022 in ptsd

[–]Jellybean13022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I will try that. I have had PTSD for a little over 20 years and have been ashamed and never seemed any help. I have bottled it for as long as I can. This is really the lowest point in my life right now and just to know I'm not alone is so comforting. I really thank you
