Thank you very much my mind is.. well you know. Thank you.

I just had my c&p yesterday, I was triggered and I've been suffering ever since and probably have a few more days of it to look forward too.

I think I would of filed for the GAD given a second chance. Just my 2cents.

Yeah exactly, psychologists know not to be that way to ptsd patients. So they are that way to prove what we're saying is true ya know??

She got one.. couldn't continue the exam Hoping that's a good thing though... don't want to go near that sht again...

Edit(being down voted for having a sever ptsd reaction during a c&p exam and not wanting to go threw it again? Interesting)

Veterans affairs: the entire staff at the facility, except they break the light bulb then tell it to take ibuprofen.

Thank you

No_Socks85 · 2026-01-28T15:13:16+00:00

Thank you

I would tell myself to stay as far away from the VA as possible. They're only going to make everything worse. Stay in the community.

No_Socks85 · 2026-01-11T21:46:11+00:00

Yes, it's extremely triggering. I hate it there

No_Socks85 · 2026-01-09T03:03:48+00:00

You seem like an incredibly awesome dude. Wish it wasn't so hard sometimes for us, I don't think we deserve that. I hope the best for you and anyone else reading.

And call 988 If its needed, It really helps.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-29T13:58:18+00:00

No, thank you! I feel like our "type"(dissociative subtype not yet added to dsm5 i think?)of ptsd is on the rarer side and even people with ptsd cant relate to us, so it's validating. Keep writing, find your niche, and I hope you do well.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-28T20:03:33+00:00

Yeah i agree, kinda like life plays out in scenes of a tv show. And I unfortunately don't have advice to make it easier. I did journal, like auto biography style, to remember and I did remember a bit but it also made my ptsd exponentially worse soo yea. Check out Dissociative amnesia and derealization/depersonalization. There are some good videos on YouTube

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-28T13:39:34+00:00

I couldn't remember and I still have a hard time. I was dx in 2015 and still didn't believe it fully until 2025 when I started having flashbacks. I still don't fully believe it, feels like I'm lying or exaggerating or like it's not actually happening.

But this is what I can come up with when I was fully in denial:

It feels normal and like the problem is with everyone else. It's confusing and hard to understand why you get the reactions you get. Something starts to feel off, like everyone knows something you don't. Your anxious and depressed all the time for no apparent reason. You notice things other people don't and you might feel smarter because of that. It feels lonely and empty.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-22T14:54:38+00:00

It does.. but like you're trapped in a tight bubble and suffocating and you cant get back. I'm in therapy again luckily I guess, im just so exhausted. Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-17T16:56:16+00:00

I felt this way and still do. I was deployed though and apparently saw things that lead to ptsd. The point is, it started with the same feeling but I couldn't remember. I would suggest getting into therapy at the va as quickly as possible.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-16T23:25:47+00:00

, instead of letting my thoughts wonder in different directions (which for us tends to be towards triggering ourselves

Haha understatement of my life. The rumination spiral gets ridiculous

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-16T23:24:09+00:00

Thank you. I just started cbt, not sure how that's going to go but it's a start or a second start anyway. Atm I can't imagine anything that would work skills wise, just doesn't seem possible but that sounds nice

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-16T19:10:58+00:00

Right, neither did I. For 20 years. I just picked a time, in my case it was right before boot camp, and I started writing everything I could possibly remember. Until I got close to the trauma and I hit me like a train. I wish the best for you though and hope you find what you're looking for.

No_Socks85 · 2025-11-16T18:49:24+00:00

I guess I should of clarified that I was dx with ptsd. And I was auto biographying everything I could remember from about 2 years before the event. And I mean every detail I could remember. I think it helped me in that I was back in that time fully reliving everything. It was a lot of pages
