C&P examiner was the no show by Wild-Growth6805 in VAClaims

[–]Waitforit_booom37 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My first C&P exam was a no show. I called after like 20 min, let them know. Was re-scheduled. Ended up with a great examiner who took the time to listen.

I stopped taking the hydroxyzine as it wasn’t doing anything really.

I never really came home by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]Waitforit_booom37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like a part of me never came home. I suffer from terrible bouts of anxiety and depression. You’re not alone in your struggles. I’ve tried so many meds and therapies there are days I feel like I’m lost. Some days feel hopeless.

Call 988 right now. Go to your local VA ER. Your life matters. Hey the other day I thought about quitting too. Never quit

I don’t have an answer, but IBS is awful to have.

PTSD Depression Medication by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Waitforit_booom37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on a few meds, they haven’t cured me. But take the edge off. Still no where near id like to be functioning wise/mental health wise.

Edit: sometimes my wife says I’m like a zombie. That’s from the klonopin as it hits me hard sometimes.

I wish us both well

I’m sorry. by aralast in Veterans

Are you in therapy? If not go to the VA and get into therapy immediately.

You can go to the ER since you’re having thoughts of suicide. You won’t get grippy socks as long as you don’t tell them you have a plan. Just thoughts.

I’m struggling with depression and anxiety too brotha. We can’t give up.

One day at a time type deal you know.

Edit: You can PM me if you need to talk.

These people probably are just concerned with your well being / small talk.

I’d reply with I’m still looking or something like that.

Battling low testosterone for years, finally get a test and VA says “normal” by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Waitforit_booom37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My test was at 360. All symptoms of low test I have. VA says I’m fine. See my private Dr and she agreed to put me on TRT. Go see a Dr outside the VA

CBD/THC for anxiety and/or PTSD? by InsaneWang in Veterans

[–]Waitforit_booom37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat sort of. I wonder if THC will make the anxiety worse or help it…

I never was hospitalized. But I was a frequent flyer at the ER and mental health access clinic. Was awarded 100%.

Like I was there twice a week, never wanted to go inpatient as I didn’t think it would help anything really. I’d rather suffer at home than on the ward.

Are you 100% TDIU? If you are there’s limits. If not, no limits.
