ODG, Sarg, It's guy's like you that the VA drug dealers should have some sit down time with. Maybe some of those manufactures could be invited as well. I don't do anti depressants but I see where they are invaluable to some. It's a great that we can discuss it and compare notes. Thanks for...

Raven, the reason they seem callous to you is, simply, you have death with reality at a level that they can only imagine. You have seen, smelled and witnessed shit that they only see on TV. Your entitled to be emotional - YOU EARNED IT! What you describe to me is a woman able to feel - there...

Welcome mikefish - qiute a few doc's on this forum and some who did time in the sandbox as well. Yup, that's what happens alright! Once in the thick of it, a little calm brings the whole world of yesterday right down on you. There are Nam vets here like myself who bobbed and weaved the beast...

Researcher say's...... The "maybe" and the "hope" sounds like wishful thinking. At the end of the day their big fear is ruining a career in the process of seeking help. Either way they lose. We have to do better than that! Ba

Welcome Mastranios, Old Nam Fart here. Many folks from the sand-box here you can lean on for some advice. Looks as if you got on the right track early on - thats GOOD. The beast does not like being recognized early. It just likes to linger for a decade or two and turn your whole life upside...

SW3, listen good luck with the health issues and the claim - we'll be here if you need to vent. Like yourself, I too maintained a finely honed set of survival tools that kept my head above water for many years. In the end, well, I found out that they will always be with me. I may not be as...

Hey SR3, you are absolutely correct. For 40 + years the shit rattled around in my head because I thought - they didn't walk in my shoes they never understand. It was suggested to me almost 25 years ago " maybe you should go see someone about that sleep problem and those dreams". My reply was...

Hi Tired, weren't we all at some point. We understand I can assure you that your not alone. Your at the end of your career and that just adds to the shit going through your head. I've never retired but I've been a "short timer" (old Nam expression), I know when a day seems like a year. You'll...

Nice Sarg, Interesting formations. What forms the holes, birds, wind, people? Are you sure that "Burger Joint" wasn't a watering hole at onetime. I think I was thrown out of a joint that look just like it in the 60's. Check the Post Office there may be a picture of me there. Ba
