    "You need to believe in yourself." That's all I remember landing my last job and advice I can give. People with PTSD make the world a better place. You make the world a better place, now go get a job

    Sufferer Hello, My Name Is... And I Am An Iraq And Afghanistan Veteran.

    @WarBreed, sorry your wife left you. And I don't know why @Echo wants to send you into My Combat. It's our good conscience that gets us to where we are. We get to understand so much about ourselves here, wish you the same

    Relationship Dating A Ex Combat Vet Confused

    I have had my downs (married 26 yrs.), but I'd start by "What did I do to deserve this, jerk wod?" and then "What did you do, so bad to think you don't deserve me?" God knows, I've/I love so many woman that I thought that deserved better. Then finding out they where treated worse than me and my...

    Overload?

    "I know when it's (panic attack) coming" and it happens sooner or later (Later is that we are prepared, know ourselves so well). This seems to be classic for me on remembering things. But remember I have been dealing with this from the age three, through school not knowing.

    General Just Need To Vent A Little

    Been married 26 years and have had PTSD all but 3 years. I do the same thing, thank you for the perspective. I'd rather think it out than say something I'd regret later

    Am I The Only One Who Shows This Kind Of Reaction To Lies?

    The anger gets me on a lie. I think it's because in a stressful situation I blank out and can't remember. So it looks like I lied if asked, What did you see (for example)? Response, "Nothing." But get this when I settle down I remember everything. I tell yeah, this pisses me off, because I look...

    Is It Ok To Get Angry At Other People?

    I had this reflection of a friend I can't believe everything they say. But yet having PTSD, they really can't believe me either, so this angered me quickly. I feel like a hypocrite, but intentionally to get even with me for something I didn't do consciously. PS: Sorry, if I'm off the beaten...

    Depressed, Joyless, Suicidal

    I hate when my family is happy and I'm not. It's like they are not letting me in the secret. What's worse is when I reflect back and say, "I get it now." Thank God for a forgiving family and one day I plan on making it up to them well enough to reflect back on the why I went out of my way to do so

    Haze Of Horror

    "A haze winds through my thoughts and emotions, separating my true self from them. This haze seems to intersperse ideas of its own, whispered thoughts that suggest my true desire is for my own demise. It is gray, light, and thin, but substantial enough to obscure me from connecting with my own...

    Haze Of Horror

    I've had so many beautiful moments, that I thought my anxiety ruined at the time. I reflect back on not knowing I had PTSD and the people that were involved. We evolve by forgiving the sap of a tree for leaving :)

    Undiagnosed Hello And Ptsd After Fatal Accident

    @tommytwojays Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear about the mistrust. My PTSD was suppressed until I was in my forties with similar circumstances. It's the "What if...." that works me, even at the age of three. You know just forgiving others has been therapeutic for me. I have a hard...

    Thoughts On This?

    My PTSD was a single (simple) trauma and forgotten (suppressed) for decades. Once someone said," You must of had something tragic happened in your life." sent me off reflecting on my past

    Thoughts On This?

    "An unresolved past never really goes away until you find the courage to revisit all the pain and accept that there's nothing you can do to change the past. What's happened has happened, what's done is done." My parents was right to say," Just forget about it." at the age of three. It wasn't...

    @FindingMyself88 just reading the tread, what came to mind, "Best things are free." It's beautiful how you both knows what to come. I like finding myself with a good Sudoku puzzle. I posted in discussion, Reflecting with Sudoku. I made it up, soon after finding out I had PTSD. Work with easy...

    Bouts Of Screaming

    Sometimes when I am reflecting (forgiving) with a Sudoku puzzle, it triggers that anger you speak of. Demons I think not, but it did remind me of this

    Wait... So Is That Wrong?

    @desiderata310 Well worded and as far as compromise. Maybe this joker has met me once. I forgive to a point, but if there behavior keeps reflecting witted sarcasm or revengeful.... They are smart enough to figure, so I just leave them to themselves.

    I'm Scared- Recently Diagnosed And Feel Low

    "....but I also found it a bit of a relief to finally know what was happening with me." I was also. I wasn't as forgiving (myself) and it was hurtful when it became a misunderstanding of some sort. I do avoid the revengeful sort of people in my life. Because of it I have the best marriage (26...
