Thank you for sharing this with us.

Your welcome. I had to do a lot of research on it in order to really understand it.

I understand, I used to have alot of information on ehre that I collected and put in the various forums, but they were removed when we did a server mood and they were all lost... might do it again as I still have the information that I have on my sites....

PTSD is hard to understand, it took me many years to understand it, now I only suffer from remnants of it, but I still get triggers from certain body memories, movies, books etc.

I pinned this for the time being, I think these sites are great resources.

I am just a bit tired of watching my hubby suffer through it... sigh. To see that knowing there is noting i can do hurts

Thanks so much for offering list of site that we might need help, giving the facts that we realize to help people as much as we can.

SadGurl is me by the way- name change.

Thanks for posting those resources!

By the way, I am also from a military family (father had PTSD) and I have just started a thread "Affect of PTSD on the Family".

Here is the thread (its a part of this message board): http://www.psychforums.com/post-traumatic-stress/topic45271.html

No pressure, but you are always welcome there if interested.

Very Best, Phil

I would like to add this one link because it talks about research that shows how meditation created a 50% reduction in symptoms of PTSD. Meditation is easy to learn and easy. It is a way to reduce symptoms without medication which can have harmful side effects. I hope this helps.
