    When your spouse thinks they are helping and they are NOT....

    Since when do men care about women being 15 lbs overweight? As a woman with a perpetual beer gut muffin top thing that I don't care enough about to fix, I can tell you that they don't even seem to notice stuff like that. Still, if my husband said, "Do you need to eat that?" I would resist the...

    Gunpowder and treason

    (Apparently, it takes me three months to eat.) Two and a half years later, my marriage failed spectacularly. I was living in Western New York, about an hour and a half from where Gunpowder resided with his parents while he saved up for a down payment because f*ck renting. We were Facebook...

    Gunpowder and treason

    Hawaii, 2012 He told me I smell like gunpowder and and treason. "You smell like gunpowder and treason," he said, his first words to me with a smile that, from the way it met his brown eyes, I could tell he was boring, but in a pleasant way. A perfume I still wear sometimes that smells of...

    Military Why veterans miss war

    Apparently, I can't edit my posts on the mobile site. If I do, I'll burn someone who I really don't want to hurt. I think he doesn't want the war inside, and he's perfectly happy to shut it out and leave it in the f*cking sandbox. He has the stable LEO career, the sensible car, the domestic...

    Military Why veterans miss war

    Yes. I'm a phoenix. I spectacularly self-destruct and then I dust the ashes off, carry on, and find a way to become stable and successful for a while until I get bored again. Then the cycle repeats ad nauseum. I am doing better than ever these days, which is why I haven't been around this...

    Can't Stop Being Angry

    Also: Not that I would encourage anyone to pick up a smoking habit because it's really unhealthy, but have you thought about just stepping out and having a cigarette or two when you feel yourself starting to escalate? Vaping soothes my nerves, and I would suggest an ecigarette over a real...

    Not Sure Why I Do What I Do

    Yes and no. I was married for two and a half years to an abusive, mentally ill cumstain. I cheated on him at the very end because I just stopped caring. I don't believe that the infidelity was caused by my PTSD, at least not by combat PTSD. Maybe I had some kind of PTSD from him holding me and...

    Weakness In Me

    Demon eyes? Demonize? I forgot I read the original post over a year ago and replied before. I was going to ask why you think you're such a shitty person in the here and now. And that's the crux of it. I'm not that person anymore--that person who is unworthy of love, or understanding, or...

    Dark, Violent, Thoughts.

    Do you actually fantasize about doing these things? There are people I want to punch, but that doesn't mean I want to drill holes in their kidneys and f*ck said holes until they die. You should get help, stat.

    Not in control

    Given my anxiety and all that, it happens all the time. I can't handle someone coming into my home and f*cking with my precious order but he's hot so I get over it eventually.

    Can't Stop Being Angry

    Get your ass to the range. ETA: Please don't come to WNY. It's miserable here. Why the f*ck are there no hills? Why haven't these people heard of hills? And we had two tornadoes yesterday. Oh, and the gun laws are bullshit. I too wish to run east sometimes, back to the City that kills the weak...

    What Makes You :) Today

    I'm a week away from the big three-oh, and I actually like this aging thing. I'm getting a lot wiser, I'm much better at picking my battles, and I'm a lot calmer than I used to be. I've definitely chilled the f*ck out over the past few years.

    Implementing The Impact

    If you're less happy in therapy than you were before you started going, then that's something you need to think about. Don't allow the PTSD to be an excuse for shitty behavior. That doesn't mean you shouldn't expect the people who care about you to be patient with you, but just try not to be...

    The "my PTSD is bigger than your PTSD" game is unhelpful to anyone.

    She shouldn't have asked you to leave--maybe to be quiet so she can pray, but it seems like that room is for any student to use for "quiet reflection"/prayer.

    What Makes You Angry Today?

    The whole Marinna Rollins debacle, and the animal abuse apologists who are boohooing about her alleged PTSD and want to feel sorry for her because she was a veteran. I say alleged because the bitch was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She was medically declared a manipulative...

    I read somewhere that contraception failure accounts for almost (or perhaps just over) half of all abortions.

    What Makes You Angry Today?

    Anti-choice veterans. Collateral damage is collateral damage. You don't get to pick and choose which collateral damage to be at peace with.

    What Makes You Angry Today?

    The man broke the glass on my e-cigarette tank. It was screwed on too tightly, and I asked him to brute strength it off, but he decided to use pliers, which slipped, and broke the glass. "Why are you angry at me? I'm trying to help you." I don't see how breaking my shit is helpful. I'd rather...
