My husband of 35 yrs has been suffering from ptsd caused by fighting fires during Ash Wednesday ,33 yrs ago. He had about 10 yrs of things not being right mentally and suffered depression from early 20s,it wasn't picked up diagnosed as ptsd during that time. There is a lot in his background health wise that has contributed to him being on anti depressants continually for the past 26 years. A complex person at the best of times,in the past 5 yrs things have become worse with his coping mechanisms after having a stroke,this has caused some short term memory and not being able to keep himself in check and manage his attacks mainly around fire time.
he has been on a DSP since 1993 ,we have raised 2 children now 27 and 25 ,I have been the sole worker and family support all this time...
he has now gone into overdrive with the ptsd being present most days over the past couple of months,thank goodness for our GP and he has started seeing a cognetative therapist. But progress is slow.
my question here is it possible that he will never be rid of this?
i am tired of walking in his minds shadow
