I was recently diagnosed with combat related PTSD, started meds 3 weeks ago. AMA
>>
Craziest shit you seen while on tour
>>
>>687327371
why are you accepting those zombie meds? the VA jews just want to turn your brain to mush. stop taking that poison.
>>
Do you have PTSD?
>>
>>687327606
We had a husky driver head on collide with a car that was full of people from a wedding. I scraped a bit of scalp off the road that still had a fucking veil attached to it.
>>687327642
I dunno, I feel better. I was really fucked up and it was affecting my work.
>>687327782
According to the VA, yes.
>>
>>687327973
according to the VA everyone has ptsd. what pills are you taking? what can't you let go of?
>>
>>687327782
Sorry, that was vague. Yes, I do. I was having flashbacks and night terrors and shit.
>>687328395
I tried to save a guy and he fucking bled out because I didnt see he'd been shot more than once. I packed and covered his chest wound and basically held his hand while he died.
>>
>>687327973
if you take any longer to respond i may just go outside.
>>
ptsd is for pussies that can't handle reality. Learn to deal or Just kill yourself. You little fucking bitch

>>687328810
On phone, giant thumbs, captcha blah blah blah
>>687328830
That's why I got medicine, I was pretty close.
>>
>>687327371
how do you feel that you fell victim of military propaganda and damaged your health from it?
>>
>>687328736
so you feel guilty your mistake and replay that scenario 24/7? were you a medic?

>>687329132
I don't regret my service or anything, I wanted to fight and I did. It is what it is.
>>687329160
No, I was a 12b escorting construction engineers to do a bridge recon. We were on the ground for about 30 minutes and got attacked. I was standing next to the SSGT when he got hit.
>>
>>687329160
And yes, I feel guilty as shit. Got a medal out of it though.
>>
>>687328830
>ptsd is for pussies that can't handle reality

it's not no much reality as it is stress. most people can't handle stress. some people can shake it off and other people just fall apart. the gook chem faggot in my unit, who spent the entire deployment on KAF, is claiming he has PTSD from seeing dudes in my unit cycle through after getting blown up. motherfucker.....i don't believe he has PTSD either he just wants easy money.
>>
>>687329240
no, you? What are you trying to say, faggot.
>>
>>687329729
See that's bullshit. I don't want NEETBUX, I want help. Going to a group next week, hope to be off the meds soon.
>>

>>687329571
eh i can't relate. i didn't do anything to get anyone killed but i like to think if i did I would be able to let go of it. you fucked up. it sounds like you're assuming more responsibility than you should though. do you have OCD?

*As soon as possible
>>687329955
He's calling you a troll
>>
>>687330128
I don't. And I had a hard time for a little bit and it went away, then suddenly after years it reared its head and really, really fucked me up. I dont know what caused it, but it was bad.
>>
>>687330130
>He's calling you a troll
What a faggot way to do that. Leave it to millennial retards to come up dumb shit. I fucking hate this new generation, they don't belong here
>>
>>687330435
bummer. so you just did rcp or what?
>>
>>687330987
Yep, first deployment I got to train some Iraqis and bum around doing raids with the grunts which was fun as fuck, second time I drove around looking for bombs in Afghanistan

Smoke weed bro. Did 3 years 9 months in the sandbox with infantry and cav units. Fuck the pills. Weed does the job better without making you feel like a shell.
>>
How many people have you killed?
>>
>>687331219
not too shabby. anyway it sounds like it's time to move on man. go eat some ice cream or something. focus on other things.
>>
>>687327371
You shouldn't be taking meds, you should be trying to deal with it. Do you know what happens when you run out and/or shtf? You go through withdraws, you're addicted to that shit. I have PTSD and I dealt with my shit, I refused to take pills. Am I perfect? No, but I'm also at no risk of killing somebody if I run out
>source: I tried that shit

>>687330435
Do normie things nigger.

Go for a walk and listen to music
Go to some zoo or park and smoke a spliff

This or meditation/therapy. That's what worked for me (it was the latter for me btw)

From 1-10, how lonely and unremarkable are you right now?
>>
>>687331484
I have an incredibly addictive personality so I shy away from substances, but I'm thinkig about it.
>>687331600
I don't know, its hard to tell when everyone is shooting at the same thing. Killed 2 in the aforementioned incident though, saw them drop.
>>687331672

>>687331769
You're all right, I just needed something to get me out of my suicidal/homicidal mindset. I don't see it as a permanent solution

Nope, got it from /k/
>>
>>687328830
Give me your home address and the money to visit you, I will cause you to have PTSD. I will show you how much of a pussy you are for saying that

I tried joining but I was declined because i've had PTSD since I was a kid. Sounds like it was for the best.
>>
>>687327371
Thanks for serving our country.
My question is if you were hailed as a true hero every day of your life would you still think you would have ptsd
>>
>>687332089
Well, I'm married so not too lonely. Recently got a pupper too, hes great. Unremarkable, very.
>>
>>687331707
I love all the information backing your theory.
>one persons subjective experience

.
>>
>>687327371
Careful with the VA candy brother, that shit will drive you to become part of the 22 a day. See if you can get medical herb, that shit is way better and actually helps. Keep your head up, reach out if you need help.
>>
>>687332383
none of the poison the VA peddles is healthy or a long term solution.
>>
>>687332210
What's your kik/skype OP? I'm not a vet, I'm a victim of child abuse, but we share the same mental illness. I want to help you if I can. Sometimes, the best thing to do is just let it go, but that takes a long time, sometimes. You'll still have emotions about the events, sure, but they won't be as strong

Listen to this man OP. I just got off of aderall and a whole slew of antipsychotics while dealing with finals for six college classes.

It will seriously fuck you. I suggest constant counseling. Talk until you cry. Don't be afraid to fucking bawl, war is unforgiving. Nobody will judge.
>>
>>687332314
I think that makes it worse, to answer your question seriously. I fucked up and let a man die, and i got a Valor commendation for it. Fucked up, right?
>>687332312
Sorry to hear that
>>687332383
I've heard similar warnings to be fair
>>687332566
Don't have those, but I appreciate the offer
>>
>>687332383 and op

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZNeastYxEc it's a common thing, the pills make it worse. I knew a couple girls that were on pillz for other shit and when their shit ran out, it was worse every time. One of them, I got to totally quit her pillz and she got better because she needed help, not fucking mind altering substances
>>
>>687327973
>I scraped a bit of scalp off the road that still had a fucking veil attached to it.
did you taste it with your tongue to make sure it was real cocaine?
>>
>>687332944
Don't be sorry bud. It's not your fault.

You aren't alone in this world, always remember that. It gets better. I promise.
>>
>>687332566
ptsd from taking it up the shitter? sure! probably even liked it
>>
>>687332564
still no substance to your argument.
You need to show that this is true.
1. address the variety of treatment solutions
2. provide evidence showing the drugs or other forms of treatment are unsuitable for long term use by using peer reviewed studies of drug trials or patient outcomes.
3. Then you will convince me.
>>
>>687332566
>share the same mental illness
As a combat vet that was actually raped/sodomized as a child I don't think the mental trauma from either are very similar. Then again, I don't have ptsd or emotional issues.
>>
>>687333091
Nope, but I did play with it for some reason. Not really sure why...
>>687333348
Nah man, I fap to those memories.
>>687332916
Im getting past the whole, John Wayne thing. Its getting there
>>
>>687332944
I don't know if you're religious, I don't care if you are, because I'm not. Meditation helped me out a lot when I was younger. Give it a shot. If it's not for you, it's not for you, don't force yourself to do something you don't like.

Good things to do if you want to be clear of drugs and have PTSD: Isolate yourself for a bit if it's intense, which I don't think it is too much yet. Avoid anything that triggers your flashbacks. Make a list of them and learn how to avoid them. I'm at the point where most of my triggers don't affect me anymore. I actually had somebody do one of them to me a few months ago and nothing happened.
>>
>>687332944
The situation is fucked up but you didn't put the bullet into your friend.
You have to understand on all levels humans make mistakes and weather it was someone at McDonald's forgetting ketchup on a burger or you thinking you've fucked up. You can't fall back on those memories.


Say you had to go back in time and had no idea what was about to happen? Would you make that mistake again?
Probably because you made the best decision you could make with the information you had.
End of story don't put that on yourself

It's not, but it can be dealt with in similar ways

Here, you want proof this shit is bad? http://webpages.charter.net/llednew/georgiaveterans/audie_murphy_ptsd.htm
>>
>>687327371

All I ask of you is that you read into MDMA treatment of PTSD, sir. I have never taken it myself, but I've read a good bit of cited research that shows it to be very effective if used right. And on top of that, you're not putting those FDA certified poisons into your soul. Get well, friend.
>>
>>687333499
This nigga really needs a redpill right about now
>>
>>687327371
Look in to EMDR. It worked for me.
>>
>>687333765
I am not. I am not putting forth an argument of any kind. I am being told that these drugs are unsafe without being shown any proof. The burden of proof is on your side.
>>
>>687334123
VA shill confirmed.

I need to figure out what those are, and i am indeed religious. Baptist actually

Wrong again, another personal account not a peer reviewed study of drug or medical outcomes.

>>687334123
You're also being told these drugs are safe without showing any proof.
>>
>>687334323
Get back in the oven!
>>
>>687334246
still no substantive arguments
>>
>>687333499
I'm not that guy, but I'll take a whack

Humans evolved to be social. People don't recognize that arguments and fights are the tipping points that get people to cry and rearrangebtheir situation.

Talking to a group of similar individuals, a counselor, or even a close family member who's open to discussion will help ease the pain. Medication is a duller, it deactivates nerve centers that allow for the transmission of problem emotions/flashbacks, but still won't remove the problem. It may even worsen it because your brain just doesn't get or comprehend things clearly on medication.

I won't go into studies, but the FDA is as easy as "FDA Clozapine". As somebody who has taken a wide variety of medication, they all cost something. Aderall will literally destroy your confidence and cause you to hear voices, while Risperidone and Abilify will make you unable to stop eating and cause insane weight gain.
>>
>>687334323
Who do you think funds those studies, you closed minded bafoon!
>>
>>687334298
Try a war movie or two, they usually trigger a lot of people. Watch Saving Private Ryan. DO NOT DO IT ALONE. Have somebody there to comfort you, your girlfriend if she didn't leave you for Jody, maybe one of your closest friends that you trust with everything. Tell them to be prepared to turn the movie off if you start freaking out
>>
>>6873343834
No one is telling me that and if they were i would want proof. Im talking to you though so provide it.

That's either hypervigilance or post war nerves. Or both. Have your friend set off firecrackers while you're watching. If they have no effect, you won't need to avoid fireworks. Do you live anywhere they shoot off tons of fireworks for the 4th of July? My buddy was EOD in Afghanistan and he can't be around fireworks at all. He was actually in an explosion fro an IED.
>>
>>687334695
I'm going to warn you that things will stop feeling good. Before I quit Adderall, I couldn't smell, taste, enjoy sex or think rationally. You will start to obsess over things, and your emotions will almost entirely dissapear. Now don't get me wrong, I needed it once, and it took me 4 times to recover, but I suggest breaking your chains as soon as the beast turns its back on you.
>>
>>687334612
Today, we all do. Most scientific research is funded by government grants (e.g., from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, etc.), companies doing research and development, and non-profit foundations (e.g., the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, etc.).

It depends on the study of course...

See if you can do it without meds, they usually lessen your triggers

my symptoms only manifested themselves in drug abuse (nothing hard, just realized i was drinking heavily and smoking a lot of pot to stay numb and fool myself into thinking i was happy) and night terrors, screaming in my sleep, etc

in what ways was it affecting you
>>
>>687335568
You might need to get out of your city during the 4th if they shoot off fireworks where you can hear them from your house. Just go on a grilling and camping trip innawoods with your family, say you wanna have some fun and time away from home, they'll more than likely be up for it. And I'm glad you're already planning on weening yourself off of them. I wish you luck with that
