As the wife of a veteran with ptsd
I'm not convinced you aren't masking ptsd with self-medication.

Given the h3ll that is genuine ptsd, for the veteran, family, and friends, I hope for your sake that you really don't have it and that it was a lie.

Do find yourself a copy of Patience Mason's book, "Recovering from the War," and if you recognize yourself in it, get help. And thank you, sir, for your service.

Thread won.
Thank you & I trust your other half has had the help they needed.

We work on it daily, thank you
It did take a long time to get past denial. I see some familiar landmarks in the OP. I hope it is a case of buying a new car and suddenly seeing ones like it everywhere.

Thanks, pills are an option only if I can take them.
Nothing like watching Mr. Kila go absolutely batshite crazy at even the hint of meds. Anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Yay. Don't think I haven't seriously considered grinding them up and feeding them to him without telling him!

And btw, a legitimate use for ecstasy... Hmmm...! I like!
