About Me
I am a 39-year-old male who is dealing with anxiety and PTSD from my mother's suicide when I was 15 and a separation from my wife two years ago. Wife and I are back together again but dealing with the reminders of two years ago at this time when she was moving out which triggers reminder of this time in 1985 when mother was preparing to kill herself. Ugh!

Wife and I separated for six months back from November 2007 to March of 2008. Have been back together since but it triggered my PTSD from mother's suicide.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Our therapist is very good, we've been working with him for awhile. He didn't agree with my wife moving out. We are currently taking a break from this though.
- Forgiveness Considering
- Still struggling with this.
- Love Somewhat Helpful
- I'm trying to fight through fears, resentment and sadness to be as loving as I can. I am much better at it than I was before she left.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Seeing woman who does EMDR for PTSD but we are still on history taking. I have a lot of history.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- Only family I have left that I talk to is my sister and I tend to avoid calling her because I'm afraid I'll bring her down.
