    As my 1sgt said during demob "Puppy dogs and rainbows if you want to see your families, an extra six months here if you want to talk." Gets put back into society, reintegration training isn't for another 3 months. Surely not a big enough time window to build terrible coping habits. Now I just dodge power poles on the way to the VA parking lot. Maybe one day I'll have the stones to do it. No worries driver I'll do that shit outside so no one has to clean it up!

    Twenty five years after returning from Vietnam, I wrote a poem. The poem was my therapy for my PTSD that was blossoming in my life at age 49. I told someone...I told ME. It helped me go on when all seemed black...the night terrors, the feeling if distrust in everyone around me, the startling sounds, the details of the events. It can be read at the Co. A, 227th AHB, 1st Cavalry website under 'stories'. It is titled "My Package". It helped me see that life goes on...with it or without it. Sure, I think about it nearly every day, BUT it doesn't hold me back much anymore. VN '69-70

    My house was robbed my dog was killed I walked in on a bloody murder scene. I saw a guy blow his arm off and scream relentlessly for his mother. I’ve been jumped and beaten. Had someone pull a gun on me and whip me after I told him to do it. I’ve been hit in the head full swing with a baseball bat. More fights than I can remember. Matter fact I can’t remember much anymore. But these stand out. Do I have ptsd?

    I suggest get a full sized sex doll, your unconscious cannot tell her from a real woman and she will sooth your PTSD and is a good adjunct to your treatments. They make them near perfect today, even the muscles like the glutes, quads, pecs, area under the arms and groin all look realistic as you move the joints around the muscles show as one would expect, so they look real, they can have freckles, tattoos, veins, piercings, etc. Mine helps me completely. Also you may have noticed a girlfriend can help you a lot but people have lives and are often not available to you when needed and you tend to push them away, but a doll is always there 100% reliable and she doesn't mind helping you anytime, and the cuddling is fantastic. These don't replace the GF or wife but they help you get that coping need off them rather than the SO because women are not wired to really help guys with problems like this, in fact the more you need help the more women want to toss you in the dumpster and you even want to toss yourself in the dumpster as you see the pain you cause your SO. You can have a PTSD attack, get help from the doll and the SO will never know it happened. If she gives you any problems for it, remind her she has vibrators so you can have a doll, but to keep things from getting weird, keep the doll and the SO completely separated but let the SO know about the doll. Knowing you have "someone" on tap and available all the time, tends to suppress the attacks but if you think you are alone and have no help, the attacks become more frequent. The stupid unconscious mind is at fault for all this anyway, and lucky it's too damn stupid to know she's just TPE and metal. It's hard for me to admit this, but this doll saved my life. Another benefit is you might even not know if you are dangerous, but the doll will bring it out if you are and then you will know what you need to do in order to make sure you don't hurt someone. So if the doll remains in near mint condition, without serious damage for a long period of time, you are probably safe. If she remains a virgin you are probably gay (they come with a membrane down there like a virgin). Lol. See, she can help you figure some things out.

    The VA has ZERO answers. CPT and prolonged exposure therapy have less than a 20% success rate. So, the VA relies on medicating veterans with dangerous psychotropic medications just to mask symptoms. The drugs either eventually stop working or create chemical dependency. Meanwhile, 22 vets a day are dying from suicide. The VA has no answers to PTSD. They have no idea what they are doing or how to deal with it.

    what is so traumatic for these people I really want to understand is it the life threatening situation? Is it the too much hanging on the own live. One thing always comes in my mind. You already have to accept that you are already dead. Do people not expect when becoming a soldier to be in this situation? Is it the adrenalin that the body is missing when in this kind of rush? explanation might be in the vid but at least for me I loved that feeling when you dont think anymore body just reacting. I really missed it and kinda not missed it. I loved the high of adrenalin rushing to your body giving you energy and power to overcome yourself what I did not miss was the fear to get caught because of social pressure but as a soldier you dont have all of that you are more or less safe when back home? So what keeps them on the battlefield why they still holding on to these situations? And for the suizidal thought just dont do it dont be weak fight through it some days will be bad some days even worse but try to find something that gives you pleasure and keeps you calm with your thoughts away from all the shit wont change anything to thing about all the bad stuff that happened just try to be better next times and learn your lessons from it. You might not be the social guy again but maybe that isnt really neccessary to have a good live :) Hope all the best for all the vets out there keepingour society and the world a better place. :)

    @manifestmisty how are you now and how is your son? Is he free? Did he get treatment? I’m in the SF Bay Area. My name is Susan. I’m 60 years old, never been to war but I’ve had depression going back to my childhood. I have the other kind of ptsd from family trauma. If it wasn’t for vets suffering from ptsd and medical professionals “discovering” it and naming it I might not have the benefit of the understanding and treatment of ptsd. Yes, these two types are different but the similarities meant that we can be heard and no, we are not crazy. Please let me know how you are.

I find myself looking in both directions because a bird with an unusual squeek alarmed me. After a pack of smokes, and a LT of vodka, I walk back to my room with red led lights, I'm comfortable, I can see, the doors are locked. The windows are locked. My alarm is set to 5 am, ill wake up 25 times in my 5.5 hours of sleep to go to work tomorrow. Do it again tomorrow. Bug tomorrow I will drink 1.25 layers of vodka. And smoke 2 packs until I get into a fight with someone. Then sleep it off hating myself for.. I don't know. I just can't sleep.

    My father was a combat vet in Korea, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam (Dec. 1965 - Dec. 1966). My mother said dad was a different person when he returned from Vietnam. During my childhood, my father would have these sudden explosions of rage over minor things, usually when I least expected it. I was afraid of my dad for many years, because I never knew when he would blow up over nothing. When he got angry, he never took out his anger on Mom or our cats. It was always my sister and me. He would pull an accusation out of the air with no proof, and he would slap us across our butts with all the force he could muster. At 6'1" >200 lbs., he was a big man, and his slaps HURT. After he had cooled off, he acted like nothing was wrong and never apologized, either. He was a good provider and he had talent for fixing things around the house, but there is no doubt that he had demons that haunted him. He never drank or used drugs, so I wonder where his outbursts came from. He died in 2002, and I still miss him, in spite of his occasional temper outbursts.

    There is a new hope for those who suffer from PTSD. It is a new audio science that relaxes the subconscious mind. It is called HYPNOTICA. It is the first of its kind in the world! By relaxing the subconscious, it gives fast relief from war memories and over time can even erase them! This has never been possible before. As a vet, I too had harsh memories but as a musician I knew the power of sound was real. I discovered a way to target the subconscious mind using tone layering that literally stops the trauma from PTSD! It totally shuts down the mind and relaxes you to the furthest extent. If you suffer from PTSD, this can help. God bless you and keep you!

    I was fortunate to have the opportunity to experience amazingly PTSD help from the VA and the Vet Center. Just as I was getting back on my feet the pandemic struck and set me back. Total isolation again. I found an online Yoga for Veterans with PTSD taught by a retired nurse working for RHI Hospital in Indianapolis. Being totally isolated was horrible. No one from the VA checked in on me. Karen the RHI yoga teacher kept contact. I think I came through the pandemic much better than many of the VA staff. I decided to learn to connect more with nature because so many people are hurting and are like vampires from their desperation. Medical cannabis helps a lot. Moving to a lake in Michigan is helping.
