DAT 11 ... sorry it took so long to get a note back to you, but i wanted to say thanks for your tank driving. I have some experience in tanks, and infantry, and otherwise, but I'm glad to meet up with you here in psych central.

I've been aware of ptsd for a few years and just last year was diagnosed - and am now certified ptsd (i call it certifiec crazy- but the experts tell me it is way more than a mental thing, that it is a physical change in our brains that make us act this way, that make us experience the ptsd symptoms)

I'm plenty aware of the "stigma" attached to admitting the ptsd. i went to VA and got evaluated, then got increased disability, and then because of certain circumstances, decided not to go forward with the therapy. it doesn't mean the thearpy is bad, just that it isn't for me at this time.

i hope we can stay in touch.
Troy
