The Nightmare Is Over! How I Did It......

[coastalgardens73]

I also suppose my main point with the self medication thing is that I can't tell you not to do it. I know I felt at times to try anything just to make my problems stop. Just realize that there are huge dangers to doing it, including becoming physically and psycologically addicted. You also don't want to damage your heart , lungs, kidneys, liver, or other major organs. In addition to all the other issues you have you really don't want to spend more time in a hospital or on a dialysis machine.


Whatever I did, I am not particularly proud of, but I can't turn back the clock. I could only make sure that I never took too much of anything for too long.

Total bullshit... they posted the same spam onto PTSD Forum. Banned.

Is this an actual combat vet. Off meds and a clear head is what I want! Serving doesn't make a combat veteran.

Caught!

What's up with people?

What's up with people?

When you find out let me know. I've been asking that for years.

You know when you're fairly normal, well ya'll know what I mean, and apply some level of logic to the problems you can't figure it out. I know I can't.

Maybe I'm ready for a tattoo of that. :ROFLMAO:

Glad I've still got a good sense of humor, it's the only thing that gets me through the day sometimes.

Don't hold your breath Jar, it may take a while.

As for the tattoo, why not. When I pass half a century, I'll join you ;)

Well said Jar, I'd hate for the beast to also take from me what is left of my sense of humor

 

[Spock]

Tats seem to be a big thing some of my battle buddies do to distract themselves from the beast

 

[JarHed]

I was only kidding about a tat. I think I'm the only Marine that never got one. Never really felt the need or desire either. Some are rather cool though.

 

[Spock]

I figured that but some guys actually use it as therapy

 

[Sludge]

Yup, just got my ...dunno....30th? one today. Is a really well rendered tat of a ink print of Po-dog's front right paw. Final step in my recovery from that fiasco. No I got him with me all the time and life is good. Damn things still hurt like hell though.

I have a tattoo of a sun on my shoulder, which I got when I was 16, it had my chicks initials on it; big mistake. got it filled. It now looks like a sunflower. Tempted to get a soldier/memorial peice, but worried i'll end up with a mess on my...well can't get much worse.

Bit of a running joke in the Army actually, a proper squaddie has a naff tat or tatts! Because most of us are from council estates and saw the Army as the only option, an alternative to Macdonalds or prison.:D
