" PTSD is very common, and there are a number of people that have it. It doesn’t just affect the people suffering, but also the people that they are close to. If you are suffering from PTSD and know that the relationships that are close to you are suffering because of it as well, you don’t have to worry anymore. There are ways to communicate and fix those issues. But first, you have to begin by talking about it and being open. You cannot make any problematic situation better until you acknowledge it.

Not to worry! If you have trouble communicating your feelings about your PTSD or someone you love’s PTSD, just remember that no problem can go unsolved. There are many people out there that feel the same way you do, and together on this blog we can all help each other.

According to the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, 7 or 8 out of every 100 people will experience some type of PTSD in their lives. That is a huge number, so whoever you are, you are not alone. Most people want to hide or ignore their PTSD until it gets so bad that they explode or just can’t take it anymore. This blog is a place where you can vent about your experiences and learn from other people’s experiences. "

  1. If you are interested in linking to individuals with PTSD - maybe you can link your blog to a another site that serves these individuals - just a thought.

  2. I am excited to learn about what causes PTSD and what the different types are. I have always thought that PTSD was just something that soldiers suffered so I am eager to learn more and become more informed.
