Hello my name is Jody and my husband has PTSD. I have anxiety disorder and living with my husband has been hard on my girls and I. I love my husband and we are in this marriage through thick and thin. I do not fully understand PTSD and therefore I don't know how I can be supportive and help him through this time when his PTSD is full blown. Does anyone have any suggestions whether you have PTSD or someone you live with has PTSD?

P.S. My husband is seanmarsh33

Best wishes to both of you.

first, THANK YOU! One of the many frustations I face with my ptsd is my loved ones not caring enough to find out how to deal with it. Give him space when he needs it. And, most importantly, know his triggers, and try your best to distract him from them. Triggers can be anything, depending on what his trauma was. For me, it's certain shows, certain words, and places
