Ptsd From The Intifada-jerusalem

Ohh Yeah. Forgot that minor detail. Yup. f*cked up. Present and accounted for.
 
To Willis,
I was looking for a site where I can talk to people who have PTSD related to war, not rape victims or crime victims. The minute I realized this is only for combat soldiers I wrote that it appears that I’m on the wrong site. It’s not like there is an information centre on the web that tells you where to go.And your Gugu who ‘spammed’ my emails runs the other site as well.

Alan told me about his experience and I was willing to listen. He would have probably opened up - if you thugs did not interfere. That’s what this site should be for- to talk. But apparently – the reason you are here is to bully people around and act like a pervert. I saw what you wrote:"I can handle the bomb at my door I like bombs blonde ones brunett hell any bombs as long as there bombshells….”

I can handle idiots like you; all I ask you and your friends is to be a bit more sensitive next time a new member joins, even if he/she doesn’t fit your criteria. It’s not a competition- who has the worse case of ptsd. These sites should be about healing. Maybe your ptsd. turned you into a bully, that is something you need to work on. Don’t bother to reply since I won’t be on this site any longer.

Yeah, what tex and jimmy said. I'm a pretty open kind of guy really, and I think there are some joining the dots with our experiences, but the big difference is in the combatant side of things. Its a big fence to step across (almost like being the instigator of events and recipients)*. I think the best thing to do is have a think if this is the place for you (Not you Tex, this is so much the place for you... In fact it should be called the Tex Forum! HA!) and if it is then maybe have a think about you feel about things and start with that.

* instigator and recipients. You can all use that. But its my idea. Unless you say its my idea every time I use it, I will come round and plant bounding mines outside your doors. I shit you not.

This is obviously Not the place for me. I also won't be able to reply if you write. It seems like the only place I can get help is in Israel, and I won't be able to go there for a few more years.
Any way, I was interested to hear about your country. I didn't know that would appear as offensive. You should talk about it or write a book - otherwise no one will know.
Good luck and I hope you feel better.
Rakefet.
 
Oh for f*cks sake, Give it up. You are not the same as us. Can't you understand that. You did not go through 3 months or more of intensive training to re-wire your brain for your "flight or fight" response. You were not ordered to run towards the danger. When a bus blew up in Jerusalem did you run right over and start treating people or looking for who did it so you could kill them. f*ck no!

And don't give me this bullshit that you won't be back, because you'll look at this as a guest.

They tried to do it nicely, but you refused to accept it. It's a sight called COMBAT PTSD FORUM. Get it. We here are all a little f*cked up because we participated directly in our horrors. It just didn't happen to us. We participated....GET IT! And if you are not a carer who lives with someone like this or a person who has gone through this, then you are just going to say things that are going to piss us off and wreck the site because us folks won't want to come back if everyone is freaking out and can't trust who's on here. GET IT!!

And if you continue, you are messing with a group of people you don't really want to piss off. Hell one of us even knows Oragami and will fold you into a crane and pull your arse and make your head move. He's promised to do the same to myself.

Run away little girl. Run. Don't come back

OK you toned down your rhetoric, but you still have no right calling anyone here idiots AND you have royally f*cked up my quite peaceful day. So my last post stands. GO AWAY.
 
This thread is f*cking awesome! Or it would have been as I was probably going to open up (with a 20mm), but you thugs interfered. Wankers.
 
I will once again try and explain this.

PTSD is PTSD technically. However; veterans have been trained to not display their emotions openly. So therefore they do not feel comfortable talking about their traumas to anyone, except maybe their therapist or a fellow veteran.
Sometimes; they don't even need to talk about them with a mate, but just be around fellow veterans. There is something that we all share and can understand no matter what conflict we have been in.We understand each other and know what to say and what not to say. Veterans can also be nasty verbally and don't fit in on the other site.

I was once a member of the other site and had to try to conform to correct punctuation, spelling, and not speak my mind. I got cautioned numerous times and was also had a go at for what I had said. It was not a site for me, and I don't think it is a site for any veterans.

So Anthony made this site where the only couple of rules are that you have to be a veteran, a carer/supporter/partner of a veteran, and that you don't personally attack someone.
It means we can be us.

And you know what, it works. I have had many veterans say that this site has helped them and continues to help them.

So Sarah, Sahar, Rakefet, we are not against you. If you need help, go to the sister site. Yes Anthony is the administrator of that site too, but it works and I guarantee there are hundreds of people from that site that say its awesome and has helped them. There is also volumes of info on PTSD there which may help.

All the best

She got another couple of posts out before the system banned her... so hopefully it should be fine now.

The reason this forum is isolated for veterans, is because combat PTSD is not the issue, its the military training. We all endured it, and we all know military is vastly different to civilian, and that is why this forum exist. Military attitude is a language of its own, and even years after discharge, still doesn't play nice with civilian attitude. I have seen it enough on PTSD Forum over the years, which is why this was opened... military would not participate because it was that, or they tore into a woman who had been raped, because she opened up about how bad it felt for her. The military attitude to that is typically, build a bridge and get the f*ck over it... move on with life. That doesn't play well... hence why military is isolated and provided their own forum, not for the PTSD aspect so much, but because the training and lifestyle is vastly different.

You go into the military with compassion, you come out with a different set of morals, especially after combat.

And the problem still remains... there is no way to deprogram the training and lifestyle.
 
Ooof. Looks like the cows got out in a big way there. And right before my big night out in normal people world. Ahh shit. Thanks Jimmy and Anthony for putting it all back on an even keel.

I don't like being mean. I had to read my post to remember what I said. First time I've had an anger episode in awhile. (well an anger episode that got out into the general public, internally....All grocery shoppers are vaporized by death rays) But I couldn't stop, and my key board took some major abuse on that. Don't like that part of me at all. It's pretty f*cking vicious. I just forgot everything from therapy.
