[quote=ihateit;933835]As I have posted in the cogeneral section, and have gotten some very supportive help, I will give a short description here and ask some questions.

My wife came home last Monday, after her second session being diagnosed with PTSD, and told me she didn't love me, didn't need me there was nothing I could do and she was just numb. Turns out there were things I was doing wrong, and we are working on the marriage, as of the moment. She just got out of a counseling session, and I am on pins and needles hoping nothing has changed yet again, as this information to me about her not loving me anymore came out of left field, and tore my heart out. If you want to see that thread, it's in the general discusion under Sad, Scared, Lost... I can't post a link yet.

I guess my questions are, I assume the symptoms vary from person to person, and I have read up on PTSD, but people here deal with it. She says she loved me, even as of Sunday? Then bam? Then now, don't worry, everything will eventually be ok. I am giving her space and time and just letting her know I am here and I love her, not pushing ... well trying my best. So what is it like, the depression, the numbness, do you just not feel all of a sudden, and then do? I am a bit lost and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you![/quote


How long has she been diagnosed with this condition? Is she on medication? You are doing the right thing by giving her space and time, but you also need help for yourself. Maybe some counseling for yourself, and some meds for you too, to help with the anxiety. She probably does not know whether she loves you or not. How long have you been married? Is she able to function in her daily activities? That would be a goos sign. She is in a stae of confusion herself. PTSD, and the concomitant feelings, whatever thay may be, can come and go. You need to have patience patience patience.
