Hyperalertness, Anxiety, Anger

[JarHed]

People don't realize how lucky they are that I'm not a vindictive person. I don't forget what people do but I always try to move on. Unfortunately this particular guy has a compelling need to complain to everyone and anyone about me. If he would just shut his shit hole and leave it be it would just go away eventually, at least it would for me.It's like a high school popularity contest for him with people in my neighborhood.

A few years ago some people were after him for something and he put up all these cameras and snuck in and out like a weasel for a long time. And the guy that's his room mate he berates constantly and he does nothing. It's hard for me to not want to just go there and hurt him. At least for a short time, till the cops came, I'd feel good about it. He's not a man in any sense of the word. I don't have a problem with someone that stands up for their ideas or themselves. I do have a problem with someone that insults me or my wife and then runs in his house thinking he's safe. The house as safe part makes me laugh outloud. Just tryin' to ignore and avoid him the best I can. He just won't let it go. So, time will tell what's going to be I guess.

All the logic in the world fails with PTSD. There are times when I think I have it all figured out. Tell myself to just sit and think for a while, and I do. And most of the time it goes away. But it's difficult when you worked a GE Gatling gun or a .50 or even just a little .32 pimp shooter and struggle with a solution to a problem that is something as simple as people shitting on your driveway.

I remember one little ARVN captain that we all knew was VC. Many times I wanted to catch him alone with no witnesses. If he ever had the balls enough to go out in the field with us, he knew the consequences. He caused a lot of pain but the whisper was to use him to send info out to the VC, basically disinformation. We all knew it never worked. Problems get that simple to solve in your mind when you have had such violence under your control.

It's why we come home with such anger.

Yeah Vik you're right. Unfortunately if I didn't care about going to jail I would have done something violent a long time ago. I can put it behind me and move on, just let it go. He won't. He'll take every opportunity to bad mouth me and all the rest which makes it impossible for it to just go away. I pray I'm wrong but rarely am with these things, it just won't end nicely. It could, which would be best for all, but it won't.

Still hopin' it will I guess.

Why not spoil his fun Sarg.

I have (Used to have) people here in the village talking about me behind my back. I was the one who chopped up his misses with a Axe FFS, and the Mad English man.

So I went through a stage of introducing myself as the Axe wielding, wife killing Mad English Man. Funny how quickly the shit stops.

Just an Idea, why not put a sign in your front garden, "Here live the ?? (what ever he bad mouths you) He`s says so! (with a arrow pointing to his house.)

 

[Jimmy1]

Yeah, as long as it is not breaking any laws, 'According to Mr ...... who lives <----- I am an angry ..................so don't come near me or my place'.

We saw a not so nice sign down the road a bit. One of the chicky babes that lived there was known to sleep around and caused a few divorces, then she gave a guy a not so nice non-lethal infection, so the group of guys got together and spray painted her fence with a not so nice sign.
It was a very busy road and by the time they woke in the morning and found it, it had made front page of the local newspaper with the not so nice words blanked out.

 

[JarHed]

I do like that idea, but I'd just rather forget about it all and move on. It's better for me if I just let it go and ignore the douchebag, like he's the only one I or we ever have to deal with or encounter. He's a lonely, bitter, drama queen that will always be that way, he'll die alone. The people that would associate with him are the same or stupid or both. I, on the other hand, am always looking to improve my situation and myself. My life is rocky but I'm more happy and well adjusted than most.

From now on if he runs his mouth I call the cops. Let them deal with it. It's what they told me to do. If he acts out too often he gets a summons. Money's always a good motivator in people's actions. He doesn't talk to me now or even look my way so what if he talks about me?He has something nasty to say about everything.

Life's way too short for his kind of shit and most other kinds too. If he jumps over the line he'll wish he hadn't. But till then, coexistence is where it's at.

 

[Sarg]

That's it, Jar! Show him who is the better man. It's takes a bigger man to shrug off that crap off and walk away. After all the crap he's done in the neighborhood, people aren't going to listen to what he says about you or any one else. I have VA employees running off at the mouth about me constantly. I really think they do it expecting I'll do something violent in return, hoping I get thrown in the gulag.

Ain't gonna happen. My lawyer and I are going to hurt them much worse than throwing punches. Why go to jail when you can sue the crap out of em.

Point is, like Dan said, we could deploy our skills but don't. That makes us eminently better, proves our argument, and shit, don't the wankers hate that.

And that's the final solution that the rest of the country and world don't get. Time and time again, I have mentioned in the right context, that I have PTSD. I am not saying "Watch out for me" or "Beware, I'll kill you."

I can but I really think the beast knows when to stop. It's some other beast, such as bipolar, or plain serious chronic depression that takes over and takes the anger out on somebody.

We know what killing does probably more than many others. It's why we stop short. If only the rest of the world knew that.

Ignore, ignore, ignore...

Well I posted these in Funnies because I could not find this thread. So, now that I found it again ... here's the signs I promised you Jar?
