Man... I see myself coming back to this forum every so often for this type of venting... I know this post is old but damn... I feel you. How do you stay married is my question?

@Freida Don’t I know it!!! So I’ve had three distinct revelations with this diagnosis. First time as I mentioned... later on after I accepted reality and had to go thru a meds to find one that didn’t mess with sexual performance, cause there is one that does for me... I call it the ptsd drug...

@Freida i thought that... really about even going to the VA to make a claim. I thought, I got friends who lost limbs, got shot in the head and lived, and of course who made the ultimate sacrifice... “what do I have to complain about?” Took a retired Sr infantry NCO neighbor to beat it into my...

Hey @RCD_VET and @Warrior Chicken the Armorer vics are only good if your being shot at! I was in a Bradley when we hit a smallish bomb, I was looking out the top and the hatch clammed shelled my helmet/cvc between the 300# hatch and the lip of the Bradley... concussed/tbi, 9 stitches, 5 teeth...

Man, @Freida your the first person to get that... that’s the reason I jumped on this forum. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted and this was a last ditch effort, really out of options now 7 years out and while I’ve had episodes, I really felt like I was fraying... if that makes sense. At...

Man... this hits close to home... I tried to trust and lean in, great phrase btw, and got bitten by old friends, pastors, new friends, church groups, family... makes it hard to trust or even want to try to make friends, which sounds STUPID to say as an adult, but no the less true. The only time...

I understand 100. Took avreturee e7 neighbor to help me begin realizing what ptsd means to vets and how the VA works in regard to that. Are you a US vet? Not sure with the icon, but I can advise on my experience either way. You need to simply tell your primary care physician your having issues...

I like the first responder job as it sounds great with having a new focus, but the pay is terrible... and while I could perform in short burst... I’m 80% VA and most is physical stuff. Knees, back, feet, shoulder. Surgeries on all of them. I remember the VA doc diagnosing me with degenerative...

Thank you for sharing @TexCat , how did your husband change and become more understanding? I find my emotions are hard to touch after the military... to the point where I fake emotions I know I should be feeling so I don’t seen to callous as much.... personally, I know my wife puts up with my...

I got you. So I’m a Christian and believe in God. However, since going to war and back it’s really hard to engage in my faith community. I tried to engage, but since we moved around so much, up until I left the military, it’s akways been hard to trust them and be trusted in return when most...

Need coffee...

Yeah, having motivation troubles now... like nothing’s really worth it... I’d kick my own butt for this if I could but don’t have the motivation to move. Wtf right?!

Dump the loser. He’s a turd for dumping on you and trying to justify his feelings using you as a scapegoat. I’ve done the same with shutting down. Feels like you overloaded and locked behind you eyes... almost feels like I’m looking out thru someone else’s eyes like an avatar. I’ve also had...
