Self Help, Without Va

[Deleted member 19292]

Hi, all. I'm living in a rural area, with no VA services, whatsoever. No means of reaching VA services, such as therapy. I have not found any therapy, or any other form of treatment. What I want to ask, is have any of you, found a way to cope with the crazies? I was diagnosed with a list of crazy stuff, but don't know how to cope with it. What do you do, to prevent going nuts?

O.K., first question would be WHO diagnosed you with the list of "crazy stuff". The VA? If so, you need to call that VA and tell them that since they diagnosed you with this disorder, you need treatment and you can't get to their facilities because (insert reason here) and tell them you want fee basis treatment in your area. They will tell you "no" and you will have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get them to say "yes".

Ah, maybe it's just me but I have PTSD, not "the crazies". PTSD is an anxiety disorder. "Crazies" is who knows.

And now for a word from your broadcasting station.

I have done so, no fee basis treatment in my area, at all. Yes, it was the VA and army shrinks, as well. I have no VA services, in this area, or around it. I'm doing it on my own, and trying to figure out how.

Hey Bob

I'll be at the VA early next week. I'm going to talk to my psychologist about your situation. My objective is to find out if the VA has any kind of outreach services that would help you where you are. If anyone would know, she would. They are currently talking the talk about helping every vet. Let me see what I can find out for ya'.

Thanks for the effort, JarHed. I'll have to keep looking for the information I need, somewhere else.

Silent Bob,

We are a wealth of information here. The guys and gals on here have been in conflicts dating back as far as Vietnam and we come from all different countries around the globe. So if you need advice or help we can either give it or find it for you.

But before all that, courtesy would be nice from you. How about a bit of who you served with and where, and how about a being a bit more specific as to which state you live in.

That is just courtesy. If you don't do these things, we will get suspicious and think you are a troll or a faker.

It's simple.

Normal route into mental health services here (UK), is via a doctor, they should refer you to the specific treatment you require.

Jimmy, I have posted some of my service here, on this site, already. It isn't courtesy, but a violation of my privacy. I don't respond to threats, or insults, however thinly veiled. Feel free to ban me, or burn my effigy, or whatever, troll

SB you are pissing people off with the negative waves, and I don't see where it's getting you. We're all capable of a bit of surliness but you, mate, are kicking the arse out of it.

Maybe you'll respond to this. We here are a bunch who recognized we had a problem with the Beast, got diagnosed and set out to make this shit better.

You are acting like a little paranoid teenage sick call commando. I looked at your content. Does not say shit, no intro, no info no nothing. "Oh I'm remote, I can't do anything" Blah blah f*cking blah. I live in f*cking Norway asshole. Try getting treatment here.

What really pisses me off is people tried to help you in the forum and via Private message, and then you turn around and pull your "I don't respond to threats" shit.

Well don't respond to this then. Nobody threatened you. And really nobody is insulting you. So put up, shut up, or just f*ck off. For lack of info so far all we can assume is that your military time is comprised of endless hours playing Battlefield. Ooops got a hang nail. PTSD!!!! Help.

But I have to give it to you. If I ever need an excuse for something...you're the first person I'm calling.

 

[JarHed]

You know Bob I've never known a veteran that didn't want to talk about who they served with, where they served or when they served. Also, I don't see what posting where you live is about. We're looking for ways to help you not to come to your house and camp out in your living room.

And, quite frankly, there is no violation of privacy here. You and everyone uses an alias, an avatar and such. We only know you by what you tell us, or don't.

You wanted help and I tried to do that. I'll just leave it there.

 

[Chin Strapped]

Kicking off in here!

I've gone past the days of alias' and avatars. Fu*k it, nothing wrong with us!
