Sadness

[Squaddiedave]

Cried at it because of the "story" behind one of the singers, and the emotion they showed when they sang and was reviewd. With 2 girls and the misses I just accept having to watch it now lol!

Hey Dave, you have not been back for that long have you???? Have you thought you might also be suffering from Chronic Adjustment Syndrome.

I cry at the strangest times for the strangest reasons. Usually while watching TV or Movies. None of those "reunited with ... scenes or my dog just croaked scenes either, really odd stuff. Was enjoying the "real" (read that as Ozzie) show "Wilfred" and made like twin waterfalls for no reason. (The US version is OK, but Ozzie TV can get away with stuff that is taboo here.)

Is kind of nice really, I didn't shed a tear for nearly a decade back in the old, bad, dark times. Now, I have to keep one of those pocket packs of tissues on me when the wife and I have our TV night. (Hell Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead make me tear up.)

ya nowadays I tend to have leaky eyes a lot too.. for the stupidest things... animals.... omg.... dont start me.. there was a GSD on death row at a kill shelter... I thought I might dehydrate! I can't have a GSD here in the complex or he woulda been mine... movies... it doesn't take much...

I guess that is what I mean about worrying about taking the lid off the pot... right now the steam is escaping... don't wanna take it off too fast or it will scald me... (as in letting out what I have stuffed down all these yrs)

I have a major weakness for GSDs...
:notworthy:Maybe it was the GSD who saved me and my people from a huge vbied?:notworthy:

WOOF WOOF

Hell manno, many of us have been adjusting for decades.

No shit, I started bawling today during my organic chemistry lab. For some reason getting a few grams of acetanilide to re-crystylize was the saddest thing I had ever seen. Been miserable ever since. (Gonna watch a few episodes of Futurama though, that always fixes me up right!)

 

[Squaddiedave]

Can't beat some bite my shiney metal ass to induce a chuckle lol!

 

[Need an Oasis]

Yes, I'm there all the time.

Fantastic week with friends visiting, quality family time, quality me time,( not gonna lie, plenty of quality time with the wife if you get my meaning) yet today I feel at rock bottom.
Just can't kick myself out of it, which pisses me off even more. Hate this feeling.
Sorry needed to vent a bit

No need to be sorry! Just remember that you are not alone in those maddening feelings of isolation and sadness. I am most certain that I and a bunch of the other members here are right there with you emotionally. I'm at work, alone in this huge building polishing my tac-boots and reading the forums to keep it together. the bad news is, i'm miserable. the good news is my boot toes are so shiny I can bounce a laser pointer from my desk off them and dazzle my security cameras.

Remember the best thing about being at the bottom is the only way to go is up!(less you got a shovel and a jackhammer down there with ya...);)

Hey Dave, the problem your having is that you have only recently returned and been diagnosed, well 9 months or so which is recent. So you wether you know it or not are subconsciously battling the fact that you have PTSD and along with that learning about it etc, etc and having the whole family issue with them coming to terms with it.

The ups and downs will happen frequently but over time, the distance between the beast attacking majorly will increase greatly and the duration of the attacks will diminish.

The main thing is that you keep doing your therapy and keep digging at the traumas.
