I'm new to the forum and it looks like something that can really help me through what's going on. I deployed with 2-3 IN to Afghanistan and was diagnosed with PTSD about 16 months ago. I'd like to offer what help I can and also get some advice on how others have handled the challenges that come along with PTSD.

Gidday Doc, welcome to the forum. The little flag helps us with where you are from, but we are a multinational forum and have people who served in all forces and in conflicts from the 'Ancient' era, like Vietnam :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::whistle: so a bit more elaboration would be awesome. I served with a bung of Jarheads in Iraq, when were you there?? But if your not comfortable yet, I will give it time.

Welcome home Doc.

Sorry, not used to talking about it much. I was in Afghanistan from 2011-12. Since being home I've re-married and have a 3 month old. Things have been tough, especially for my wife.....but that's a different discussion for a different forum on the site.
