Secondary PTSD and PTSD in Family Members

March 15, 2011 by Peter Whalen

Please read below-the anguish expressed by a Family member is real and pitch perfect / When in God’s name are we going to get them the resources they so desperately need to cope and rebuild their lives. Please help by donating to the Invictus Foundation/

I remember being at Bethesda Naval Hospital the morning after my husband overdosed the first time. I hadn’t slept other than the small amount I had had before I found him dieing next to me. After a night of panic, vomit covered CPR, following ambulances, full blown panic attacks, and being yelled at by my recently revived husband for, “Overreacting and calling 911”, I had had it. I can honestly say at that point I felt as if the world was against me – I couldn’t think straight, I was “done”. http://bit.ly/hzoPCj
