I’m looking forward to shaking this downer of a mood off, it’s been hanging around me for a few days now. This one has been longer lasting than normal, the most frustrating thing is, I have no control over it!

For the first night in ages I managed to get more sleep than I normally have. I felt the difference as soon as I woks up, it was great feeling to have. Yes, I was up a few times to go for a pee, as usual, but there must have been more time in between them, Mind you I’m not complaining!

Quote...” I know that smoking is bad forme......but I am saving a ton of money on smokes rolling my own.” Yea! I’ve been hand rolling my cigarettes for the past 20 years, and yes it’s my guilty pleasure. I started smoking when I was 13, and when I served in the Navy they used to give us...

I can’t even remember the last time I had a full nights sleep, I think it was a life time ago now. Between the nightmares and having to get up for a pee, (I’ve got cancer in my bladder wall, and they have fitted a “stent” to bypass it) So, after I’ve gone 5 or 6 nights with hardly...

I can still remember the day I was diagnosed wth having PTSD. I was sent to see a “therapist” by the doctor, which was worrying for me, as I never even knew what a therapist was, or what they did. So I trotted along, met her, then sat down, wondering what happens now? She must have been really...

Quote.........”One thing that really bugs me is my inability to remember things around the event. Things like my crew commander's name.” I wonder if that is better for you in the long run, as mine come back in my nightmares, where I go through all events again, and they are so vivid in every...

Quote.............”I am having a similar problem having been aggressive toward someone in public.” I’m like that as well, if someone upsets or annoys me, I go straight for them without thinking of the consequences, whereas in the old days, I would shy away and say nothing. I never noticed that...

Welcome to the site, I had the same feelings about being in here, with folk who understand what you are going through, when I first joined. That seems like a life time ago now, but that's only because I have come on so far, but only with the help and support from the nice people who use this...

Ignorant drivers who over take you, pull in, then slow you down!

Yea, I find that music really relaxes me as well, I've found that when I wake up suddenly from a nightmare, I can't go back to sleep, in fear of having another one? So what I do is put my Bluetooth head phones on, connect it to my phone, and listen to music, while I go outside for a smoke. I...

Quote.................."The Medical exam was very basic but the doc asked me the question "Do you want to work." I think he was checking to see if you were "trying it on" as back injury is used by many "chancers" who just want a sick note or get into disability benefits. I was asked the same...

I believe that I'm due all those years that I spent caring for my late wife, back! As I feel that I was cheated of them. As in the end, she betrayed me, by believing all the stories that her family told her, during her last days, of how I was supposed to have starved and abused her? Those...

I hate it when people don't listen to me.

Today I saw three swallows, a blue it, and a robin, in the few minutes when I was at the front door, having a smoke, that cheered me up for the day.

To get the operation on my foot done, I've been waiting for months now. The screw in my toe is coming out by itself, if it keeps going like this, I won't need the operation? Lol.

Yea! I find that music really makes a difference to me, when I'm feeling really down. I came really close to suicide once myself, it was a phone call from a mate of mine, that stopped me I pressed the wrong button there, and posted by mistake? Anyway, we both use the same ex service site, and...

You're world is well known to me, and no doubt by many others on here, so you are not alone. As I read through your post I was thinking, hey that's me, right there. Hope you feel better soon, and I look forward to reading more of you're posts.

Having the confidence to go out shopping, and making it back without any problems about anxiety.

You are not alone, as I'm going through the exact same thing, and it's a horrible thing to go through. I've always stuck to my philosophy of ..................."do one positive thing every day" ............but these days that doesn't seem to be enough for me? I think it's just a case of the...

A good nights sleep.

Why Worry............Dire Straights. (Great lyrics and fantastic musical solo)

I remember right after my wife passed, I was going through a "spell" with PTSD, which made my grieving even worse, and left me really upset and confused. I just seemed to drift from day to day, even so badly that I lost a few days along the way?

I don't like this time of year, everything dies off, the days get shorter, and it's cold! I should be like a bear and hybernate all winter, as I always get more depressed at this time of year. Have you ever noticed that it takes a lot longer to reach the shortest day of the year, than it does...

Quote.........."We're late because he has to psych himself up to get out the door" I can relate to that, as up until a few months ago I was exactly the same! Thankfully I'm over that now, but I must admit I still tend to get really nervous and edgy, if I have to attend official events, like...

A good nights sleep, without having to get for a pee every two hours! As that's what I've been doing for the last two years!
