First - thank you for serving! I don't know much about combat PTSD, but I have PTSD from other trauma. I think it's common for any type of PTSD to feel like no one understands, but some people really do. That might be the PTSD talking. Keep holding on, recovery is possible, it's a long painful journey, but provides peace in the end (I'm told) I agree - your pdoc is not giving you what you need. Any chance there's a support group in your area for vets? Might be another option if private counseling is not. Keep hanging in there - you survived it once, now you just need to find away to cope with the aftermath. Tough, I know, but possible!
