I just gave up the love of my life for no real reason. Really struggling with maybe PTSD but not sure. Doubting God more at every turn. Life basically sucks.

Assuming it was to spare her from your demons, you shouldn't deny her the choice of committing to you if you can't trust your judgment otherwise. I understand wanting to protect her from who you may be afraid of becoming and it takes a great deal of resolve to separate yourself from someone like that but still. Maybe you're falling apart but that's why we agree to stay with people.
Maybe her life can go on without you..but all I know is I'd have given every other possibile life to help someone I loved before in this one now..and it was maddening, the way I was pushed away in the end.

You did the right thing. If you're the problem due to your PTSD, it's best to remove yourself and get help rather than to continue hurting those you love and who love you. But, you need to communicate with them your intentions. They deserve the truth.

I was recently on the recieving end of this. She left me because of her demons and didn't give me a say in it. I'm broken and a mess, I don't know how long it will be before I can trust someone again. You should go to her and let her know you love her and was just trying to protect her, and go get help for your PTSD.

You cannot overcome things like this yourself! PTSD is caused by external forces & requires intervention. And talk to your SO, they may be more than willing to stand beside you during the process, it is not fair for you to unilaterally decide for both of you....not fair to Either of you!

Sorry you are struggling right now. I was suicidal two years ago. Thanks to medication and a good therapist, I am doing really well right now. Please seek help. Things can get better, but it might take a bit of work. It is also possible that there is a reason you don't want to acknowledge for ending the relationship. Of course I have no way of knowing, but sometimes our subconscious leads us in a direction we don't want to go for good reason. Worth exploring with a therapist. Good luck.

Sorry you are going through some bad times.

I don't understand the term (or meaning of) "Doubting God" as this appears to imply god, not you or any other circumstances, are in charge of who you are, what you do, and what will happen to you.

Hope you find happiness. PTSD is not fun. If you have a military background, may be worth looking for resources to help mitigate that condition.

Your are going through a tough transition. But, I actually found that life sucked less once I stopped having to struggle with questions about God every day.

Most I have helped de-convert from the dark superstition of religion to the light of reality have told me the same. Only one of the many I helped out of the darkness went back to the comfort of believing in the imaginary sky-daddy.
