Sufferer So Many Questions

[Stacieamy]

I am Stacie. I am a female combat veteran, having served in the Army and deployed to Bosnia in 1998. My PTSD is a result of cumulative trauma. I am a victim of MST and witnessed another soldier's suicide while deployed.
I have just recently learned that what I went through was MST and that witnessing trauma, especially to someone important to me, is a trauma itself.
I have also been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Agoraphobia. I have also recently learned that the onset of these disorders can be caused by trauma, as well.
I have been....weird...since all of this set in. I feel that I am searching for something...I just do not know what.

Welcome to the forums, from a DevilDog who was in your stomping grounds. Balkans, all over, and after I was discharged in another capacity.

The Ptsd Cup Explanation

There's a combatPTSD version of it, as well. Same concept. Just even less room on the cup from another layer of training and experience. There's a few vets, from a lotta places, kicking around in here kicking knowledge. Welcome aboard.

That's an interesting explanation. I've spent years pretending that my anger is normal. It's not. It needs to be let our beneficially. I used to run, gd I miss running, but my body's a mess already, so that's out. I saw another soldier say that weapons are what calms him. I miss the range a lot, too, so I think I'll try that.
Thank you,
Semper Fi, brother
