    Just Got Through the Weekend - No Meds

    This is where I need some help I think. I've been on meds for little over a year now. I was shocked at the number of side effects that my first prescription (low dosage of Lexapro) caused me; my doc told me this was the choice for lowest side effects. By the time the stuff was supposed to...

    Living A Lie - Suicidal Thoughts

    Anthony, good post. Once again, you make a lot of sense here. If you don't mind, I'd like to copy and paste your reply to a Microsoft Word document that I can easily remember where to access and read when suicidal thoughts start to bother me. Thank you

    Living A Lie - Suicidal Thoughts

    Cookie, I read your post and know exactly what you are going through with regards to your suicidal thoughts and plans (very similar to my experiences). I also have a family. Back in 2004, after what I believed was careful planning and research on my part, I endeavored to end it all on a...

    Hello - PTSD From Iraq Serving in The Air Force

    Thanks man. Yeah, last night I think I went through about three extreme panic attacks where I could barely breathe... haven't had panic attacks like this (to this level) in a long time. I thought I was dying. My wife said she called when she did because she somehow felt like I was suffering a...

    PTSD From Financial Loss

    I don't know if PTSD would be the right diagnosis for you either, but I sure wouldn't discount what you've stated so far. When the stock market crashed, causing the Great financial depression, a number of individuals who lost everything financially were jumping out of windows to their demise...

    General About Me - Husband is Iraq Veteran with PTSD

I am also very controlling, but honestly feel like it is in their best interest at times... like it's gonna save their life one day. Yes, I know...

    Hello - PTSD From Iraq Serving in The Air Force

    Hey, I'm back again... fortunately, I heard the phone ringing as I was trying to break out of my sleep (dream I was having). I have nightmares all the time when I sleep, so I try to be so tired before I finally fall asleep so that I am too tired to recollect or experience dreams. After I wrote...

    Hello - PTSD From Iraq Serving in The Air Force

    Hello, My name is Mac. I am still (miraculously) married and have three daughters. I always hear how stressful daughters are, but I fortunately can disagree (knock-on-wood). My wife is an outstanding women, and she doesn't deserve my sh*t. If she decides to leave, I can't blame her. I...

    PTSD from Air Force 'Career'

    Hellokitty (by the way, my wife loves the 'Hellokitty' toys), It's nice to see someone else here from the Air Force... I don't think there's many of us; I could be mistaken. I was cut at 13.5 years in. Take care. -Mac
