I know I can never fully understand PTSD as others experience it, but I am watching my partner suffer, and I am desperate to at least try and understand some of what he is experiencing. He has been able to tell me some of the things that he finds challenging now, and has tried to articulate how PTSD is affecting his life, communication, and his ability to process emotions. I am very curious to hear from others, how PTSD has manifested in their everyday lives, and what you'd want your loved ones to know about it. Thank you.

(Not sure if it is relevant, but my partner's PTSD is due to a traumatic workplace accident a few months back. He is also suffering from depression, and while the doctors have confirmed that he needs help, they can do nothing yet because we are trapped in the mess that is worker's compensation.)
