PTSD

[splyndyd]

I have PTSD-and I am not a Vietnam Vet! I was diagnosed a few years
ago after someone attacked me and tried to kill me. I've spent the
last few years trying to understand myself from a psychological point
of view. At the same time, I have been in a relationship with a man
who grew up with an intimidating and sometimes abusive father. I am
trying to get him to see that this mix will not work unless we BOTH
change the way we behave. He keeps telling me he is trying, but
nothing changes, really. He is angry most of the time (not at me-just
angry) and he can't see how this keeps my fight/flight response always
just under the surface. This creates a lot of stress for me and
anxiety-something someone with PTSD does not need. I don't know if
things can change or if I should just give up and move on alone. I
don't want a relationship with anyone else-I just want to be able to
live the way I should be able to-without constant stress. Comments?
Suggestions?
