I'm glad that at least it is now known what it is and you will be better soon :)

I don't think my wife has ever gotten used to it. I have had to learn to try and stay on task and when she asks me to do something I have started to jump right on it so I don't get distracted with something else. It's still not easy though. I tend to start unloading the dishwasher and then see...

To the OP I was just thinking I remember when I was going through my rough time before I got help the first time/before the second time so I knew I needed help the second time before it got worse. But anyway I didn't feel. I didn't feel happy, sad, or love. I still told my wife that I loved her...

I remember before I told my story and got positive reactions but still sometimes do doubt my trauma to an extent. I tend to tell myself it was a combat zone it was expected I shouldn't be having these issues but I have to stop myself and counter it and tell myself that it was a combat zone and...

@Solara Also there are lots of woman in combat. Also in the air force there is a Elizabeth Jacobson that was killed in action while on a convoy in Iraq. All convoy's in Iraq or Afghanistan is considered combat. Heck just being in Iraq or Afghanistan is considered combat. When I was deployed in...

@Solara you just f*cked with the wrong people. I know Friday and you Solara have no right to call somebody that has served in the military a disgrace . I didn't go "outside the wire" or out on any convoys but what I saw and experienced was enough to have PTSD. You should try serving in the...

That makes a lot of sense @Sighs I'm the exact same way. I start to do one thing notice something else needs done in the prices of that I notice something else. Sometimes I feel like a pinball

@scout86 you know my therapist didn't make any comments about me telling her that I basically talk to myself but in a way she encouraged me to because she tells me to ask myself the different challenging questions for my thoughts. I just took that suggestion and ran with it. I talk myself down...

I'm with you there jaccat. I tell people that my memory works on triggers which really sucks at times especially when I'm trying to remember something and it just isn't coming up because it doesn't have the trigger but also it sucks because since my regular memory works on triggers it feels like...

I know lots of noise bothers me such as a crowded food court with everybody talking. Even sometimes my office gets so loud with lots different people carring on conversations that it drives me nuts. I can't tell whats going on and it's just a bunch of chaos for me. The sound of the props on a...

This is pretty cool. I know I'm probably crazy for saying this.... but I have conversations with myself/think to myself like a conversation. Luckily it hasn't gotten to the point where I verbally talk to myself but I definately have conversations with myself in my head...

That is so very true. Just realized that with potty training it was such a struggle getting our three year old to be potty trained and one day I said the right thing even though I don't remember what it was but he's wearing "big boy" underwear now with spiderman on them and he even sleeps in...

Sounds like they are trying to blame you/your ptsd instead of realizing that they are the reason.

That sounds like a very exausting visit. I'm not a fan of funerals because of all the families coming together and usually fighting over stuff about who gets what... and any other family drama that comes up. If I had to go through all that I would be feeling very tired, very numb, and lacking in...

I was thinking as I was reading and it's like at least for me giving me a mission, but for me if they don't have it I usually call my wife and let her know abd tell her what they have. For the helping a friend thing they could have thought that they could get it done before lunch but it took...

Something that I do it might be kind of weird but I think about what we talked about in my appointment and find something good that happened and then I turn on the radio to the usual station I listen to.

I'm thinking it must have some effect on it. I have noticed that since I have started addressing/accepting my ptsd it seems like everytime I turn around I'm coughing or have a runny noise and all that.

Here is what really made me angry today... So we moved off base and they have to do an inspection of the house after we are all moved out. It's understandable they want to make sure we didn't damage anything. We cleaned everything the best we could but there was still some small things here and...

Thanks Friday that does help me feel better.

Sounds like it would be very beneficial for you to revisit therapy and maybe even do a sleep study so they can map your brain activity

So I have a question for you guys. I was wondering if any of you guys struggle with being an over protective parent? I ask because when my three year old was born he was two months early and spent the first month of his life in the hospital growing until he was big enough to go home. I tend to...

thankyou :) your awesome

What if you wrote it down on paper? Just write down every thought that is going around in your head. That is what I have to do a lot of the time then I can break them down into separate thoughts or realize that a whole bunch of thoughts are pretty much the same thing and can understand the...

For me I just start out by how I'm feeling a certain day and then it seems to just flow. Sometimes I feel like when it comes to my emotions and feelings I am mute but when it comes to my fingers I can say anything and everything with how I'm feeling well to a certain extent some things are still...

I was just thinking on how I relate to the song papercut by linkin park so well especially the chorus It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
