I know the title I used sounds depressing but that's because it is depressing. I am a 31 year old US Army OIF veteran. I recently got dumped by my girlfriend of three years. Her reasons for having to end it were ALL PTSD related. I am anti-social, I wasn't close with her friends, I wasn't...

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune Something to make us all happy Do anything take us out of this gloom Sing a song, play guitar Make it snappy You are the one who can make us all laugh But doing that you break out in tears Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had We wouldn't have...

If only it were that simple. shes not waiting for me to come around, I already have tried everything to convince her to give us another shot, including starting some kind of counseling at the VA but she knows that I will never be that guy, the family man, the outgoing social guy, and I will...

Kettlebells and this forum is better than Prozac. You are all appreciated so very much. Thank you.

I am sorry I don't come on here more first off everybody. I have been thinking that I basically had my shit together now a days but apparently I was living in a fantasy world. My girlfriend of three years broke it off last night. I guess this has been building up for months now and I didn't...

Man how many times has a woman told me we were like roommates and I have a wall up. A shit ton, maybe we are f*cked brother. Or maybe I have just been with really needy/clingy women since the Army. I don't know anymore.

Badass.

I recently purchased a nice vaporiser so I could experiment with weed to see if it could help my anxiety. I have tried maybe three times now. I put a small pinch in the vaporiser and before 5 minutes is up I am mega stoned and my anxiety is EXTREME. My hearing which is always at a mutant level...

I can't really comment on whether or not you should marry this guy since every girlfriend I have had including the filipina one I am with now has wanted to get married and I am 30 now never married no kids and I have no plans on it ever at this point to be honest. I had to leave my last...

Not so much the heat since it happens in the dead of winter too but sweating is a trigger for me makes my anxiety and anger kick in big time and then I sweat even more, the worst is if it starts happening while standing in line in a store. I abosutely hate the feeling of sweat running down my...

Ain't that the damn truth. I do a lot of unusual physical training now a days but the number one weapon I have against the Beast is my trusty KETTLEBELLS. They are my medicine now. Kettlebells will give you intestinal fortitude and weaken the Beast. Oh and women can use them too if your wife is...

Five Finger Death Punch

23 years of treatment can't fix stupid. Go kick a dog you wanna be Rambo Internet Commando bitch. I don't give a shit what you have been through or how much of a bad ass you think you are, you don't decide who has PTSD and who doesn't. I f*cking hate little bitches like you that make it seem as...

I was in Alpha Battery and our battery mascot was a gator, our motto was "GATORS LEAD THE WAY!" lol anyway, so on the radio my call sign was Gator One Six Delta because the Humvee I drove was A16 and my section chiefs call sign was Gator One Six Actual since I was the driver I was Gator One Six...

The more I stay in here, the more I disappear. As far as I have come.... I've known what side I'm on, but now I'm not so sure. THE LINE BEGINS TO BLUR. It's far beyond repair...and I don't even care....the desert is full of energy...dark...light..energy...ancient...energy...spirits...whatever...

I turned 30 this year. Your all ancient to me, but that just means I respect you all that much more. HOOAH. I mean no disrespect, what I'm saying is that this beast will not kill me if I don't let it. Your all proof of that. Gator One Six Delta, OUT.

Sign me up Jimmy.

I recently read an article about a new study that has had proven results in PREVENTING PTSD. Play TETRIS. Yeah, TETRIS. Apparently it activates a different part of your brain in some special way that actually blocks PTSD from getting it's hooks in. Man I wish in 2003 I freaking had a handheld...

Ive been taking two gel caps of high quality fish oil on a daily basis since 2007 or so and I have also been off all forms of SSRIs since 2007 or so. For what it's worth.

That is awesome. Great pics thank you for posting them.

What happened there? Smells, sounds, sights, feelings...I want to absorb them all right now. I would have liked to be there, maybe a few dozen yards away, close enough to tip my hat hello and just enjoy the day.

It's called PTSD Coach and it's a free app the VA and the DoD collaborated on. I just downloaded it on iTunes but I'm tired as hell and I won't actually check it out until tomorrow. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up if anyone has a smart phone with an app store of some kind. I've got an...

I'm attempting to use my Post 9/11 G.I. Bill to go back to school and I signed up for the summer quarter which is only five weeks long. I am taking a math class that normally is taken over the course of an entire semester, but it's crammed into five weeks I stead. I have a math test every class...

But since the supporters were banned it's just the same old shit every day with no change of perspective whatsoever. I enjoyed being able to see PTSD from outside eyes. I don't need another veterans opinion on this shit when he is having just as much of a hard time as I am. That doesn't help me...

Army OEF/OIF veteran here and yes I had a hell of a time dealing with my claim with the VA. It wasn't as long as your ongoing ordeal but it did last six years and I couldn't work that entire time so it was hard. I had no problems getting my original rating of 30% for PTSD but since I was...
