I was curious if anyone could help me...
My husband is suffering severe PTSD after his defibrillator fired inappropiately, an exuberant number of times one day. He says that none of us understand how he feels and I am afraid that he is sinking into a downward spiral.
I know that the fear of death is very real in a situation such as his, but I don't understand how to help him. I want to do everything I can for him, but it just seems as if my best isn't enough. He constantly is bitter and grouchy and I will put up with it for so long, but once I feel I have exhausted all efforts and then he snaps at me again, I snap back and we end up arguing for days.
I want to be sympathetic to his situation and not be part of the problem, but I can't handle him taking this out on me and our son any longer.
PLEASE HELP! THANKS! [/color]
