Girl3 you hit the nail right on the head! There is the stigma and being a vet the therapists make you sound like that title of "PTSD" is going to be a HUGE banner over your head saying that you're weak...and you can't cope with a "little" stress. They talked you out of being tested, because (as they LOVE to throw this out) you won't be able to EVER own a firearm... This is PTDS diagnosis is rough to hear and with the negetive way that they speak of it, the convince a LOT of them that they don't have it...and that they never did...there was a HUGE investigation here at the base going back 5 years and re examining the diagnosis that they would tag onto soldiers with "adjustment disorder" and then unceremonisously kicked them out leaving them feeling even worse then when they started.
This article is infuriating...makes me want to see how they would feel out in theater going out on partol not knowing who is out there and if they would come back. See how they like it out there for 12-15 months...away from everything that makes sense... I think the diagnosis would come easier if we could just send them out there to see what REALLY goes on and the anxiety you feel!
