This is the only one for me mam sorry I am not helpful at all lol

I went through the works with treatment for PTSD after I got back from Iraq. Over the years I have seen less and less doctors and now I don't take any meds at all other than Ativan when needed. I have not been to mental health in maybe 2 years but thats because I have been isolating. It works...

I am a US Army combat veteran and have been living with PTSD for 10 years now. After reading how this guy is treating you it's obvious to me that he does not have a handle on his PTSD at all and needs to be in therapy on a regular basis. He does not appreciate you and the fact he said to never...

PTSD Coach

Lonely:hungover:

Your guy needs to wake up and appreciate what he has got. There are not many women that would even try and be a supporter and he better realize that or find his a$$ all alone. I also have combat PTSD and I used to be like him but I have learned over the years that you NEED at least one person...

Like a thousand pound demon sitting on my back, reaching into my head and stirring up my emotions with foot long claws. Right now I am comfortably numb though. Hope the light shines on you again soon. I know the darkness can be suffocating at times.

Video games help me big time. I think they are a good way for your mind to escape when you need to that doesn't involve alcohol or drugs. I have never had a flash back from a video game but I have definitely had video game dreams before many times. Maybe you just love the game because its a...

I will be playing this for sure. I didn't even know about it yet so thanks for sharing. :alien:

I am sorry to hear you two are going through this. There are plenty of people on here that care and are supportive. I wish I had some advice but my way of dealing with PTSD is to become a hermit. This eventually made my girlfriend of three years leave me. I am also an Army combat veteran, I...

I am such a damn hermit these days, I literally have been staring at this post for 20 minutes trying to reply. :(

HAHA, yeah that is a good point.

It shows my regular name when I'm on my phone. Maybe that's just on my screen though. I don't know.

I like to hang out at home most weekends and just rent movies and order pizza. I don't think your boring at all.

No I think you are right, and it sounds like he has a long way to go before he gets a grip on his PTSD. I am amazed at what a lot of the supporters on here put up with. Good god I just need a woman to put up with me being a hermit! Hell I'll pay all the bills and keep the house clean.

I recently made a profile on a dating website. When I made the profile I felt the need to put it all out there and let people know I was a combat veteran, I have PTSD, and I am on disability for it. And I even mentioned that I was a hermit most of the time and avoided social situations a lot...

Facebook is the devil. haha No but seriously I had to delete mine. I did it because I isolate so hardcore sometimes that by having no Facebook it's one less option for people to contact me. Plus I never posted anything, ever.

Hermit

Veterans Affairs, it's who veterans get their health care through after leaving the military. Sorry.

On my last trip the VA they tell me that this particular VA hospital has discontinued prescribing benzodiazepines for anxiety and panic attacks for patients with PTSD. So they put me on something called Sinequan and tell me it will help with anxiety, panic, and social phobia. If anybody has...

I was on effexor a few years ago for about a six months and It did nothing for me. I did have the weird neck pain thing and now I think It may have been that damn medicine because Ive never had it since. Anyway one thing I can tell you about that I experienced was withdrawal symptoms from HELL...

Thank all of you for sharing your thoughts with me on this whole thing. I truly appreciate it.

Well I went through a phase of hard drinking for awhile since I first posted back in October of last year. She finally moved out on January 1st and I freakin broke down it was so horrible. I thought I was prepared for it since technically we broke up in early October but I wasn't prepared at...

PEANUT BUTTER IS THE FOOD OF THE GODS.:woot: Waffles, Pancakes, PB&Js, off a spoon, on some pretzels, and my all time favorite, Peanut Butter Bacon Cheddar Burger. BOOYAH! May sound weird but try it some time.

Nothing irritates me more than people who DON'T back out of plans they made with me. Funny but true. :shifty:
