Hello Jeremy Moore, First of all, thank you for your service. We want to make sure you're aware of the following information if you ever feel like calling. We are here to support you.
Recently a friend with PTSD really tore into me and said some pretty ugly things about how she viewed my character. She accused me of some really ugly things but when I asked her to give me some examples she became even more irate and just kept yelling that I knew she was right. I didn't argue with her because I know she is going thru a stressful time - I was also pretty taken a back by her actions. It's been about a month and we have not talked. At first I was really angry but know I feel that it wasn't the real her talking - it was the anxiety and anger. I want to address the issue....but should I wait for her to speak first? I also wonder if she herself feels feel regret for her actions.

If you've been through the mill in any way, then you feel it. Rough experience can be looked at. you count, friend...
I caught my wife watching this video. She said some of the people on here sound like me. I don't have a problem everyone else does. As long as they leave me alone I will be fine.

Mr Marion Smith, I hope everything went well for you, im going through the same and i guess im just lioking for a bit of hope so i could keep on hamging on to it..
I was in the army infantry soldier but I don't understand I've been out for over a year and lately I've been depressed getting angry at the littlest things but I'm scared to go talk to somebody because I don't want to be judged
I think everyone goes through the full emotional range about going to talk to someone Jeremy. I thought the same thing. It is good that you recognize something is bothering you. That is a big step to admit that. I humbly submit that you go talk to someone. It takes much bravery to do that. It will help. You can do it. You are strong and brave.
I know this channel and these videos are primarily for vets of war but is it naive to wonder if it can apply to others who have faced different traumas in life, like losing family or friends through things like suicide or drug use etc?
