There is a major disconnect between the medical community and what is real with PTSD. As a suffer and an employee within a WTB working for a major military hospital, I see this every day. This compounds my issues and makes it hard for me to address my issues without relapse.

Post Traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more traumatic events that threatened or caused great physical harm to an individual.

There always comes a point to when the mind weakens, where the breaking point is reached and this came this past March. I finally broke and a battle rage within me but not on one but on two fronts. Within my mind focused around my PTSD as you have read within my last post and throughout my body as the pain increased. I am no longer able to mentally control and manage the pain as my mind has become weak and frail.
If you knew?

What would you do if you knew you were going to die? For instance, if you found yourself on a plan going down in a canyon some place in the world one sunny afternoon. Would you scream or close your eyes and think about the life you lived?

suffered 3 massive blows to the head from a loaders hatch from an m1a1. I suffered an mTBI before they were fashionable. Still with all the knowledge today, the VA refuses to call my injury an mTBI, just a traumatic concussion because it was not caused in a “combat zone”.
