Hi I have Combat related PTSD, and Bipolar. I would like to know how am I suppose to handle this? I got discharged for bone fractures, and got no VA benifits, but I have seen stuff so horrifying I can barely sleep. I feel like no one around me understands what I went through and why I've changed. Honestly, I miss the old me.

Foramir, hello
Jme, but reapply for VA benefits re your fractures and for therapy for the PTSD. Also, check out the IAVA website...they have valuable information that may be of use to you. IAVA is Iraq/Afghanistan Vets of America. They have done much to increase benefits but one of the biggest things, just my opinion, is the peep-to-peer support. You don't have to go it alone, Foramir Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing, We Care Catherine

Hey peeps,
I'm doing better, but that can change so quickly. I have not been able to sleep much recently, but hey what's new? I really appreciate you all thinking of me and I hope I don't freak any of you out by not signing on frequently. Thanks, Foramir |

it's good you found us, I'm sorry for the reason though jme, and in no way do I imply this is true of you, ok? I thought I had dealt with mine also, but the lack of sleep proved me wrong. Fear kept me from sleeping because I knew there would be only nightmares and no relief. do you have any kind of support system? if so, please use it. if not, at least keep posting here at PC, but try and get one irl We Care We Understand You Do Not Have To Go It Alone Catherine
