This is a great thread.

It is indeed! Was wondering what were those unexplained bouts of rage set off by stupid everyday stuff. Many times i got back into my car and cant even fathom WTF is wrong with me, why am I so mean, so angry, so hurtful? I'm fine if I am in my house with NOTHING on, no TV, no radio, nothing... Go out in public and I'm ready to chew anyone's head off, don't you dare to chew that gum with your mouth open or scrunch that wrapper or drag your feet while walking! Any sound, any misbehaviour... Hands in pocket lmao dont even get me there.
Not only I am mean but i look mean and that is not me. I don't know how to get myself back the way I used to be. Simply stepping out of my house sends me in a rage... Why? I don't know but I sure would like to know how to tame the angry me though. I've lost so many friends because of this. If i'm not in control, i freak out, WTH?

I understand the concept explained in the "you're not in the forces anymore". I get that we have those "standby" button in our cup and the longer we are in service, the longer it takes to settle those! Someone mentioned uncontrolled PTSD ( I think it was Jimmy), is that why ive been playing with different drugs (meds), different dosage for the last year or so? Cause my condition is not yet controlled? And they cannot start active treatment until i stabilize... Am I correct? Shite, that mean i have 12yrs to go, FML

Before I was diagnosed my cup was most definatly at the 99% full mark every day, any thing would set me off and I would react with such violence it used to scare the shit out of me, when someone explained to me afterwards what had happened.

How have you avoided incarceration?
