How Do I Explain How I Feel

[terry1]

I don't know wut to do. Me and my fiancé been together comein up on 4 yr and she never knew me before I went in. she only knows about me through my brother and his gf. We met when I was in a bad place in life. We aren't the same ppl as we were then. I love her to no end. I have been good with my anxiety but lately its been comein back. I think she thinks I'm just being a ass but I don't know how to explain its

O.K., Terry, please to meet ya'. It would help us to help you if you told us a little about what branch of service and what war. This site is a wealth of information, with videos both of you can watch that will explain a great deal. It's good you two are talking about it together as that will help you both.

Pull up a chair and join in.

Welcome Terry. Many PTSD symptoms make you appear as a "bad ass" especially when you're fighting your anger and isolation and are easily irritated. Check out the video & articles section for some background.

Stay safe & stay strong

Wow, Terry, we have a lot of OIF Marines here...what outfit were you with? I imagine you were a 11B door kicker, right? Man, that takes some guts to do that not knowing whats on the other side. Have you received your diagnosis yet? Are you still AD? If not, you really should get into the VA system, both to file a claim and be treated for the PTSD. Did you experience TBI? It's important that you get evaluated for it.

I agree with Sarg, he has just about covered it all. Another important one is 'Have you told your Fiancee what PTSD is'? This is important to as she needs to have an informed choice if she is to married to you. There is heaps of info on here for that and if you get stuck just ask.

Best way to make her happy is to get the help you need so that you can deal better with your life.

Hello Terry. Let her see what the problem is. Me and my lass worked through it far better once she understood how I'd been re-wired. Then you make progress and start looking forward.

Be honest, that's all you can do; I'd like to think our other halves would support us through most of the shit we inadvertently throw at them.

Welcome Terry
