New Here - Combat Vet

[You're Not Alone]

Hi everyone. My name is Josh and I'm a combat vet dealing with PTSD on a daily basis. I don't really feel comfortable at the VA talking in groups, so the computer is where I go to sort things out and connect with others. This site is great and I'm glad to be here!

Welcome Josh,

We are only the first step, once you get your confidence up, it will be only a matter of time before you will eventually have to visit either the group sessions at the VA, or a private therapist. You see, we are just your mates and can only speak by experience, and 99% of us will tell you that the only way to truly learn how to tackle the beast is by going to a therapist.

In some countries, the only way to attain a VA rating is by jumping through the hoops and doing what they wish too.

Anyway buddy, hope you find what you are looking for. Welcome my friend.

Jimmy
