Thank you for your kind response. It is strangely comforting to know at least that the numbing and "faking it" that I am observing in my loved one are common with PTSD, and that others have experienced these things too.

I am determined to remain optimistic that these things can be addressed, and with professional help that he will be able to process what has happened, but workmans comp makes it nearly impossible to gain access to the resources he needs in a timely manner.

I am wondering if there are any resources I might be able to pass along to him that he might explore while we wait for the insurance company to approve the professional help that the doctors have requested...

Some days he speaks of wanting to give up on everything, but there are other days when he seems quite motivated to learn more about what he can do to manage how his PTSD affects him and his daily activities. I don't want to push him in any way, but being able to offer him some resources he can look into if he wants to might be a place to start. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have also been a little active over at psychcentral, and I appreciate your encouragement, I'll definitely be continuing to learn what I can there as well.
