Hi im Cassandra. I discharged from the Marine Corps a year ago and was thinking about going to the VA.
Hi Cassandra,
Welcome to the forum!
If you're thinking about going to the VA with "constant need to be in control of absolutely everything," I can't imagine how you'll ever get there.
I suggest you just go, in spite of everything, if you want answers and stop thinking about this.
Is it your emotions and feeling of embarrassment that you're allowing to control you, or that fear of impending anxieties, discomfort and shaking hands?
Avoidances is a
huge problem for those with Ptsd; It certainly can steal an awful lot of our present and cleverly disguise itself in many forms and for far too long, if left uncontrolled.
How about just starting with accepting that you don't have any control of outcomes and that you'd simply be going and requesting some help to see what's what and if they might be able to guide or help you know what's what or with regaining your self-control.
The alternative is to remain at such a loss, perhaps progressively lose more self-control. Already we all are at a loss of general control of people, places and things. We don't have any control over all this to start out with.
I dont know what they are going to say or do. and im a little embarassed. But i just dont know how to continue with things. Any advice??? thanks
Go to the VA with your need.
If you are experiencing discomfort and unusual feelings you should look for help.
I agree with suzie q.
Would like to see you at least seek and maybe even find any and all help which you need Cassandra.
Whatever you do, please do decide.
Perhaps by now you already have. :dontknow: Anyhow, in it all please do find and take care. :dontknow:
It's in your hands and actions. :thumbs-up
