 Welcome.Yes, that's all we can do... what we MUST do... is live lives WITH PTSD.  The only consolation I have is this: of all the psychiatric disorders in the book... we have the one that is --without dissension-- caused by someone or something else than ourselves!

Thank you everyone for your kindness. So, I was in the USMC as a front line trauma medic. Geez, the words dont come so easy for me to describe what I have seen. For now my goals are for me to come to grips with my experiences and most of all, talk about them, cause instead I shut the memories away and hold it inside, and its starting to take its toll. In the meantime, I am trying to make changes in my life and thats the hardest thing I have ever done. I look forward to speaking and sharing with all of you.
Thank you again for the welcome... |

welcome bowd.....one thing that I find has helped many combat soldiers is to not shut out the loved ones. when they asked what is bothering you they really do want to know. they really care enough to listen. don't hold it in. sharing is so healing. you don't have to give every detail but some of the memories. test the waters with them.
I was married to a vietnam vet for a long time. I am here for you anytime and I have pretty tough skin. I have been a sounding board for many vets over the yrs.

My first husband is one as are my two blood brothers all are deceased... You are alive albeit with some bumps in your road of healing Yes, please do keep posting when ready...let us know how you are doing and what we can do to help. Jme, but bottling=anguish felt like it was damned if I did, damned if I didn't so... I did not and was damned for awhile not by others but by myself it's not worth keeping anything inside we pay a very high price when we do Little bit of advice from this lady... don't tackle everything at once it's all tangled up of course but try and focus on your immediate need(s) baby steps, crawling if necessary no benefit to squaring the shoulders and marching into it stand down In Peace p.s. is your war the current ones? www.IAVA.org is a dedicated to the Iraq and Afghanistan Vets...most resources are found on the left side great support and solid resources to help you length of stateside time is not important You Are Important..your experiences, fears, anger, confusion understood there understood here double the support methinks In Peace

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
