Craziest shit you seen while on tour

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?

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.
I dunno, I feel better. I was really fucked up and it was affecting my work.
According to the VA, yes.

according to the VA everyone has ptsd. what pills are you taking? what can't you let go of?

Sorry, that was vague. Yes, I do. I was having flashbacks and night terrors and shit.
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.

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

On phone, giant thumbs, captcha blah blah blah
That's why I got medicine, I was pretty close.

how do you feel that you fell victim of military propaganda and damaged your health from it?

so you feel guilty your mistake and replay that scenario 24/7? were you a medic?

(you)

I don't regret my service or anything, I wanted to fight and I did. It is what it is.
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.

And yes, I feel guilty as shit. Got a medal out of it though.

>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.

no, you? What are you trying to say, faggot.

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.

Keked

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
He's calling you a troll

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.

>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

bummer. so you just did rcp or what?

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?

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.

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

Do normie things nigger.
Ride ypur bike
Go for a walk and listen to music
Go to some zoo or park and smoke a spliff
Fuck.

is that your helmet?if so,more pics?

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?

I have an incredibly addictive personality so I shy away from substances, but I'm thinkig about it.
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.
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/

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.

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

Well, I'm married so not too lonely. Recently got a pupper too, hes great. Unremarkable, very.

I love all the information backing your theory.
>one persons subjective experience

.

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.

none of the poison the VA peddles is healthy or a long term solution.

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

Get out of here, pervert. No one wants to Skype about butt rape. Save it for your diary!

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.

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?
Sorry to hear that
I've heard similar warnings to be fair
Don't have those, but I appreciate the offer

and op

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

>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?

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.

ptsd from taking it up the shitter? sure! probably even liked it

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.

>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.

Nope, but I did play with it for some reason. Not really sure why...
Nah man, I fap to those memories.
Im getting past the whole, John Wayne thing. Its getting there

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.

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

no you need to show all those things since you're trying to convince me to take the poison.

my response

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

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

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.

This nigga really needs a redpill right about now

Look in to EMDR. It worked for me.

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.

VA shill confirmed.

I need to figure out what those are, and i am indeed religious. Baptist actually
It's the flashbacks and survivors guilt thay was killing me, its stopped since a week ago. I'm hoping this group helps too
I will look into it

>webpages.charter.net/llednew/georgiaveterans/audie_murphy_ptsd.htm
Wrong again, another personal account not a peer reviewed study of drug or medical outcomes.

You're also being told these drugs are safe without showing any proof.

Get back in the oven!

still no substantive arguments

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.

Who do you think funds those studies, you closed minded bafoon!

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

No one is telling me that and if they were i would want proof. Im talking to you though so provide it.

kill yourself faggot

I did nearly shit myself when somebody threw a cherry bomb off their balcony sunday. Laughed though, it was funny, almost fell out of my chair.

This. Since taking Adderall I had a significant decrease in confidence and I'm pretty sure Demons are speaking to me.

Your mind will alter, the drugs will alter your mind stronger, you will ask for dubs and get none, you will fet no girlfriends, kill yourself

Do you smoke weed?

You're a fucking lost cause, either educate yourself or fuck off, I've already fucking tried.
>pic related, it's your girlfriend

i stopped watching them. i can't even sit through that navy seal...where they're stuck on the mountain. i can't remember the name goddamn tbi brain farts. mark whalburg!

I watch war movies all the time. Shit like Korengal was hard to watch, but I saw 13 hours last night and loved it. I liked fighting, it's just 2 incidents that stand out.
Checked, and I'm already married so thats okay
I'm thinking about starting for real

if what you say is true please do go into the studies i am interested.

Also you just listed possible side effects of the drugs, you have to also show how common these effects occur.

Lone Survivor

yeah that's it. that movie bothers me.

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.

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.

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

Why you faggot types always gotta take it there

>hurr durr maybe if I blame mellenials for my shiity faggot life I can feel something other than a nigger dick shoved all the way up your colon

fuck off i like my adderall.

haha medical studies not an autobiography...youre just being silly

I was in 3 separate IED dets and yes they make me shit myself.
I didn't care for it
I'm planning to ween off of them in the coming months

Since taking adderall jesus has entered my body and is controlling my mind, like he is the spaceship driver and I am his vessel.

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

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

Don't hate me, it's good. I'm not telling you it's the devil or some shit. A lot of us actually need it.
Just watch for voices and consider what I'm telling you...

Who remember

oh yeah and also anxiety in very crowded areas (i forget to mention that because i literally avoid it all the time), but all of the symptoms have waned in the last 7 years

you need psychiatric help, please seek it

I have been taking a larger amount of opiods lately, tramadol, hydro, etc. I was having night terrors, a few waking flashbacks, sweats and panic attacks. Shit sucked.
As long as I'm expecting it I'm alright, it's just when it suddenly dets that fucks me
Top Kek

this guy

Opioids are a bigger problem to get off. Are you still doing them?

I look like the dude from Hatred, you think I can't give that faggot PTSD? Hell, if I find out he lives in my fucking state, I'll hitchhike
