My husband didnt know he had ptsd until about a month ago. The symptoms were in full effect after we got off of 30 days of leave. I have mild ptsd from an abortion at an early and from combat in the military. My husband is having a hard time ... I told him it gets worse before it gets better. He has made many medication changes within a short period of time. I do believe that I had slight Ocd before the army, ptsd and I was always very shy. With my Ets coming up in a week. I still have no job. My extreme anxiety/panic attacks, phobias, ptsd, ocd, and depression kicked in at full force about two months ago. The psychiatrists are still trying to figure out which illness or illnesses are causing all of these symptoms. I'm just so down on myself and discouraged because I am miserable. I don't want to be like this. My husband has had some of the same symptoms...anxiety/panic attacks, flashbacks... among other things. He is also down on himself because he doesn't want to be like this. The military is just horrible for some people. Anyone with inspiration out there? We both need it and want to feel accepted.. because there is so much stigma out there.
