What Makes You Angry Today?

[NakMuayCleo]

Does else anyone hate "touch talkers"? People who need to physically touch you during conversation on the arm or shoulder. I tense up so hard and I'm ready to go for a wrist lock. And there's really no polite way to say... Don't touch me.

Absolutlely. Drives me nuckinfuts almost. They say its rude to violate someones space, but i think it hits us a lot harder, our space is a bit bigger i think. Especially if its a civi that

Polite? Never heard of her. Days of being nice are over. If people get all butt hurt over being told "hey don't f*cking touch me" should keep their distance.

In other news, I go to the VA for my doctors appointment, the doctor hadn't looked over my medical record at all. So when I give him my laundry list of concerns he asks me a ton of questions. (Has to take a couple of days to go over my records and wait for blood results to come back)

Then asks me what my mood is. I tell him depressed when I'm not angry. Asks me if I've been seeing anyone. I tell him I was being treated at the ptsd clinic before, then discontinued and stopped meds. Which I tell him I did it on my own. Mainly because the va is full of shit when it comes to ptsd and that the medications they throw at you just make you feel like a walking zombie.

Guess what he suggested... Going back to therapy, getting on meds and exercising...I swear they have to push meds or they get fired.

It's all they know right now it seems, just put em on different meds for such and such.
Then you still gotta keep going in and talking to the guy and explaining the shit again.
They're oblivious and seem to view us as wild animals.

I should do what my buddy does, he walks around with a binder with his medical records in it. That way he can just point to whatever page and issue lol.

I think your right Black, they really dont know what to do with us. Treat the outward shit they can see or what we tell them with drugs, and hope for a hit then fire for effect with a barage of meds. Its a f*ckin hail mary. Been off meds since 2005, puts the responsibility on me for developing coping skills to fight the beast. I cant deal with the VA. I tried it their way for years. I refuse to be a zombie. :)

I was finally having a good dream, bone melting super happy good dream, and got woken up by people shouting at each other over bullshit. Seriously? STFU! Aaaaaargh. Can't. Win. For. Losing.

My brother in law pisses me off tonight. So I must admit I drank more then I should have and it was all fun and games until he got serious and when I have had to much to drink I have no filter... and I didn't hold anything back before I realized what I said until after I said it. But I only told him about how life is like dealing with ptsd and it got to much for even drunk me and I said I need some time to relax so I went into a different room to do some breathing exercises to calm myself down but he followed me into the room and continued to talk to me.... So I stud up and pushed him. Then he got really aggressive and I was ready for combat and my wife stepped in and did her best to keep the peace. I ended up deciding that I needed to get out of the situation before I did something I regret so I went for a two hour walk. After I came back he said some stuff about never laying my hands on him ever again and I didn't say anything because I would have said something I regretted in the morning and now I'm upstairs away from him in mutt wife and my bedroom doing my breathing techniques as I write this to calm myself down.

Loud noises. Loud noises. Loud noises. My little nephew burst in my room and screamed my name to wake me up and I popped up and let out a angry yell. From his perspective I was yelling at him but in reality it was defense. Like a dog bark. I feel terrible now. How do you explain that to a 7 year old except simply saying I don't like for people to scream around me? I miss my bubble!!!
