Sufferer A Constant War

[Jonathanhartwell]

Hey,:)

I'm jonathan i suffer from ptsd caused from living and fighting in syria.
I also have bad anxiety and cant fx. Go to the movies with out sweating bullets.
I'm always on gaurd and can never calm down (unless i have a drink 'NOT PROUD OF THAT BUT ITS THE TRUTH)
I'm prone to black outs if i have arguments with someone and dont snap out of it til someone is on the ground.
I hope to talk to others who have witnessed Closecombat. Murder Terror etc.
Happy to have found this forum.

Hello Jonathan, welcome to the forum. Glad you found us.

I haven't witnessed close combat or murder terror but I have experienced combat and can relate to always being on guard and only having a drink helps calm me down. Well before I got help and am now on meds to help regulate myself

 

[Jonathanhartwell]

I've tried meds countless anti depressents but i decided to kick it since it makes you sort of a zombie. its just hard adjusting to a peaceful environment. and people look at you like you're a complete nut job because you're eyes are wide open and you're sweating bullets and checking you're six constantly.

Welcome to the boards. Do you also know mycombatptsd.com?

One obligatory stupid question if you don't mind: am I assuming right fx is for focus, there?

Glad to have you here @Jonathanhartwell and I hope you find a lot of people who relate to your trauma. One thing you may also find is that there are some common threads that run throughout many of our lives dealing with PTSD. Welcome to the forum. :)

Fx stands for "for example " hehe
