All Is Hell At Home

I agree. It's ok to ask for help. Just ask you chain of command. You should have sick call hours you can go to.

No one ever offered me any help until I said I wanted help. So far it seems the help is slow in coming, but they have said it's coming. Just knowing help is coming has helped me abit. I'm in a better place now than I was 2 months ago. Still, they do seem alittle slow out of the gates.

Hey guys all sound advice I appreciate the input the damndest thing is not being able to point a finger at anything and say this is the problem or that is the problem not on active I am a reservest Navy SEA BEE it just seems that life keeps kicking when you are downI am sure others can relate I know others have had it much worse and that in it self is a kick in the ass as I should have nothing to wine about in comparison to the front line troops there is just so many who have gave more that my walk should not even register yet with everything going on it really does make for a mess in my head what the root is I have no idea it is all quite a bit overwelming

Hey Wing, you deployed on active service, you are a veteran, and you have PTSD. Then you belong here.

There is not anybody on this forum who will say that their trauma is worse than anybody else's. We are all tarred with the same brush. We all suffer from PTSD. To us our own traumas are the worst.

We are here for you mate.

Writing a first post... Wing, Trauma is not PTSD. Trauma hurts like a sonufabitch, but it's not PTSD. What your wife is going through... yeah. Two problems: Yours and hers.

My feeling is that she's suffering HER thing and your suffering your own and you can't BE there for her. She might even bring up that she's always BEEN there for you and your shit. ;) You HAVE to take care of yourself, first... you can "be there" for her if you step back and deal with yourself, first. ... and, I have NO idea what that means: VERY good therapist is trying to pound this in my head and I'm resisting. Not sure why, but I trust her enough to say that she is right and I am wrong. :D Yes, Ma'am.
