Sufferer Gaming My Combat Ptsd Away

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and wanted to find others who I could socialize with. I'm a combat vet from OIF/OEF. I WAS Infantry, but ran all the supply runs from base to FOB (forward operating base) through Mosul. I experienced a lot of horrible things: mortars, ied's, plane being shot at, and saved my friend from an explosion. I was awarded the Arcom for above and beyond; which really means everything blew up and you kept going.

Now I'm on disability while going to school for art and game design. I love art and use multiple mediums to express myself. My other love is gaming and for the most part I enjoy it right now, but the games I'm experiencing are setting off triggers and I'm reacting by ruining games and getting very hateful. My most recent trigger is Bungie's Destiny SParrow racing. I'm fighting for first place and when someone messes up my run I could explode!!! I'm excellent at twitch response and racing but now I find I can't make it through a race without losing my mind.

I'm working on starting up a guild in WOW and a Clan in Destiny. I figure if I can't beat them, then maybe I can queue with 6 people from a clan and get the win the easy. I have a few other ideas I'm putting in to work right now, but mostly I want to find my place in these games so I can play and enjoy myself.

In your response if you play games or want to link up in a game, let me know what you play. I want more friends like me so I can support and have support from others.
