Hi Skywalker, I'm just starting out on this battle after having fought it and denied it for 20 years. Everything you say feels like I'm saying it. My wife says she's finally had enough and to be honest, I can't blame her. However, I desperately don't want to lose her or my family. I'm trying to...

I can handle the flashbacks, and the emotions but I really have to get to grips with the anger thing. I can go from nought to neuclear in a sentence. I don't get violent (ever) but I get so angry and all I do is hurt my wife. I need this to stop and am finally seeking help even if it turns out...

Hi Jr, Good luck with your med board. It sounds like you have the right focus to get through this. I have 3 young kids and a wife that has put up with more hell than she can take. I wish you well with the battle

Hi Shogun, I'm a Navy vet from the Falklands War in 82. I don't do the rooftop thing but your comment about anger is the first emotion is like hearing myself think. For me, it's got progressively worse to to point that my wife has had enough and I guess I can't blame her. I'm just starting the...

An interesting day so far. Veterans UK have been in contact and are coming to visit me to help fill out some forms regarding a War Pension!! I had no idea that one even existed. On the home front. It's still "can't see any other option" so not hopeful of any support with this battle. However...

Hi Littlebird, I'm in Herefordshire

Firstly, I've never tried to get any help before and am in a bit of a holding pattern awaiting places. Secondly, how can I (not sure of the right word here) persuade/show/... that I'm serious...

I may do that. Some of the stuff that flashes back is probably only really understood by veterans.

I may have read your posting incorrectly. My reply was about my wife, not KP!!!

She is wise and beautiful and I have been lucky and proud to have her as a wife and my best friend. I'll try to get her to take a look although I fear the worst. I have resolved to rid myself of this thing or at least bring it back under control. I can cope with the flashbacks and the emotion...

If only it were that easy. She knows the efforts I'm making but "can't see any other option" and is "tired of walking on eggshells every day".

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm an ex-Navy vet from the Falklands War (1982) which whilst not that long in duration involved non-stop air and missle attacks over several months. Afterwards I "braindumped" every stress, worry, memory I had to a friend who wanted to listen and generally got on with...
