Undiagnosed Ex Army Way I Feel ?

[Rufftuff123]

Hello guys and girl names Adam please forgive my spelling it's bad lol. I took redundancy in 2013 from the army and have always missed everything about it the structure discipline and camaraderie and most importantly friends a lot that you do not find in civilian Street I have find.I would love to go back in but only thing holding me back now is i have my family and money but I do find i can not act my self at work and seem to get a lot of stick for being ex army and the lack of respect for the serving they have Angers me. I feel the only thing I was ever good at was being a soldier and I loved it anyone else feel like this I talk to a friend that I served with and he has ptsd but I always put that face on that all is OK is it just me or do others feel the same way?

I sorry if this is in wrong place or not revenant to this it's pretty new to me

Thanks Adam

I am a 100% p/t Navy veteran. 70% of my VA disability is PTSD. I was medically retired in January of 2012 at the age of 22. My world ended. I have found my next mission, my next objective. My family. Helping others like me, and most of all, healing myself. I strive to be the best husband, son, nephew etc. I can be. It stays at the front of my mind. I miss the military. I am still there in spirit, but my time is over in that field. I have a new life now. I didn't get to choose it, but I am making it what I want. I have kicked out the toxic people and only allowed people who I can trust in my inner circle. Find your next big goal. Set short term daily attainable goals to get there. Hold yourself accountable. I am 28 now. I am in shape, in decent mental health and I am learning to maintain relationships again. My wife and I are even talking kids. All of that with TBI/PTSD. I miss my service, but my family is best. I made them my focus. My goal every day is to show my wife she is loved and to practice self control, self soothing and to voice my emotions. You are not alone in missing the military, but I promise you, having a healthy lifestyle and family is king.
