My husband has PTSD so he is able to be both empathetic and supportive. We've only been married 2 years but I was just diagnosed one year into it. I spent a whole year a complete wreck with crippling depression, anxiety, etc. he now knows when I'm hypo because I have extreme irritability and anger and he's learned not to feed into it.
He married a highly successful woman with the world by the tail and ended up with a disabled mess. Luckily he's disabled and has been my rock as I try to navigate this crazy illness.
We work hard at our marriage and I thank God for him every day. We will be one of the 10 percent.
