[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 214599, member: 3419"] Hi Prntofbpd, welcome. Wow, she's got a boatload of issues. I agree, I'd treat the PTSD first. Try to imagine how difficult it would be to deal with-everyday life when, at the time you least expect it, you get a flashback. It would not only interfere with-everything, it would scare the :censored2: out of you. I don't know that much about the medications you mentioned, just that I would wonder if her anxiety level is still too high, and make sure the medications help with-that. I like your hypothesis/theory on why she makes up Big Fish stories. Makes sense to me. What does her psychiatric say about it? In reg to punching the wall, would she respond well to a deliberate set-up for her anger issues, such as a punching bag or a soft baseball bat and soft pillows? They can be set up in a winterized garage (so you don't have to deal with-the noise) or in her bedroom, if necessary. Lots of people punch walls when they're angry and upset (although in my experience, it's more of a guy thing). Out of all the things she could do, that's one of the least damaging ... unless she breaks her hand, of course. Considering that you've gotten her on medications and she actually takes them, that's half the battle. Give yourself, and her, some credit for the progress you've already made. [/QUOTE]
