Have a good nap Jar. Tomorrow's a new day.

JarHed, you're killing me here. I didn't mean to say you were not entitled to have an opinion. If anything, going back and erasing your posts leaves questions as to whether I was bullying you. Something I'm a bit paranoid about as of late. All I was trying to say was that if we are afraid to...

JarHed, I think that is the point. Everyone use to take people to task and give them a "suck it up buttercup" when they needed it. At the end of the day, this place was run just like it was in the Army. You may not have liked the guy beside you, but you still had his back. If people were...

It's hard enough to keep the positive flowing. Advocating defeat and surrender isn't what this place is about. We are suppose to be trying to fight this thing and share what worked and what didn't. A bit of a shoulder to lean on once in awhile too I suppose. But to champion a defeatist...

It's hard to do anything but bitch when you're in pain. I've been getting along pretty well lately, but I have been there before. get the pain under control, and then worry about felling grateful.

Afternoon.

I'm still at the phase where I believe I can beat this. I can still be who I really am if I never say die. I've had to lick my wounds a few times, and I've even had to suck back and regroup. But I refuse to die. In the end, if I'm remembered as the bitter old man who played a mean set of...

Morning

I have told a few guys in my band about my demons. One cop and 3 fire fighters. They knew to watch out for the beast and so far they seem to take it in stride. Doesn't mean I haven't crashed, but at least they knew how to et me out of there. Now if only I could get over the heat and crowd...

As long as your decisions are based off your desires, not your perceptions of your limitations, fine. If your are not enjoying the experience, it's time to move on. If you are not enjoying the symptoms of PTSD while you're doing something you love, it's time to fight.

Sometimes we have to recognise which round hole is worth squeezing through. I've had some issues lately with my band, but my reality says that when the pipes are singing, it doesn't matter. Don't give up on what's important to you. Fight for t. Don't let PTSD decide who you are. I'm not...

Morning

It seems that the feeling of inadequacy and failure are even more acute among the support trades than in the pointy end of the stick. So as a corpsman, how many decisions did you have to make that may or may not have resulted in death or prolonged suffering in someone you were sworn to protect...

Evening

The group I was with didn't do the touchy feely thing. It was more a way of getting us out in a semi public place and talking about stuff with people who were going through the same shit we were. We seldom talked about PTSD stuff. It was more a social thing. Not saying that any group you get...

Evening lost.

Morning Kelly. Lot's of Americans on here to give advice about the VA. I'm not one of them.

Morning Chaos.

Evening Rat

Sarg, I have been forcing myself outside my comfort zone for awhile now. First it was just joining a pipe band after not even playing for 4 years, then public performances, then a more vocal involvement in the band. Each step was hard, but eventually I adapted and found techniques to deal...

Are you going to a therapist? Are you on any meds? I find he meds I'm on do help moderate the anger.

How about just the ability to close a thread until it is reviewed by you?

Evening Cost. 42 Health Service in Gagetown isn't any better than Pet.
