Yes I have been diagnosed with PTSD. No I don't live that life style anymore. Have a full time real job, no drugs in 2 years now, finished collage. I'm looking into group psychotherapy, I work with a bunch of Vets, and I'm trying to get it all out in the open on this sight, since attempts else where have always failed of turned people away. Think I should make a movie about it? No one belives I can remember all this like it was yesterday but I have a photographic memory, my doc even tells me when I bring it up; you can remember that, it was so long ago, the mind distorts these things after a while. I had problems with flash-backs in the past. Very vivid memories and sounds. I would love to keep talking about this if anyone is willing to listen, most people don't even want to hear it. I gave up the illegal life and heavy drinking 2 years ago, I still smoke(cig), and take a heavy dose of anti-depressants. Small bit anti-psychotic. Its like everyone wants to forget about it, but I can't. I worry a lot about safety. The problem with PTSD is that it is different kind for me than with people from the war. I haven't realy met anyone in the same shoes as me? I'm not deaply religous but you can pray if you want. Do these vets ever get over it all, more than long after?
