Welcome 6Gunner,

It took 25 years for my PTSD to rear its ugly head. I would recommend that you get into therapy. It is tough but well worth it. Find a good T that has experience in PTSD. The VA can be a good place to start.

From personal experience there will be good days and nights and tough days and nights. Being diagnosed helped me to realize that I wasn't crazy, other people go through this, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not an oncoming train.

The people on this site are very helpful. Just remember you are not alone in this. Feel free to PM if you want to discuss something without everyone else reading it. Be good to yourself.

Thanks for this!
