Hey Buck ... RVN vet here ... well experienced with unexplainable rage and years of volatile anger. Methinks the bus driver gets a pass on this one -- he has probably been nailed by the "secret shopper" and might lose his job if he violates the rules. Of course, my own personality is to break the rules every chance I get -- so I were your bus driver, I'd have given you the ride and invited you to continue using the same ID ... Makes you wonder why they expire (do they think your vet status is going to change?)

I've applied to VA for PTSD but it's unlikely it will be approved. I've never been seen by a VA shrink and can't see myself doing that. Part of own PTSD, I've discovered, is that I cannot discuss all of this with anyone, especially a shrink I cannot trust.

My PTSD has been my own secret for so many years, the only release is here on PC.

One thought for a new person here is to stick with this narrow part of the forum. If your ptsd is like mine, you have a high need to fix things, and if you prowl around the rest of the forum you'll have a high level of anxiety at finding so many problems that you cannot fix.

Hi Catherine2 & BeBop
