I live with someone that has Post Traumatic Stress Disoder and for the past year our stress level has been really high. There has been lots of hurtful words past between us because of this disorder that I was wondering if anyone here on mylot had any advice or have dealt with someone with this kind of disorder. It has gotten to the point that the relationship is close to being over.
I am confused and don't know how to feel anymore about this person. Any help or advice will be helpful. Thanks.

It sounds to me like you guys need some counseling and/or a support group. I don't suffer from it, by I suffer from a related disorder, and find that couple's councelling works best for us. Another couple prefers going to seperate support groups. Just find out what works, before you give up.

I agree with you on support groups, but the councelling won't work for us because he won't open up in front of me nor will he be totally honest with them nor himself. He thinks people will hold it against him for feeling what he does. Thanks for your response and hope for the best.
