ptsd Is It Me Or Does Most People Get Burnt Out Helping?

[Testvet]

I haven't really showed my azz on this board or if I have it has been a really long time since I did I forgot, but I probably did a few years ago, I have had a stroke so I gorget a lot of stuff easily, I don't have to buy new books because my favorite writes W.E.B Griffin, Clive Clussler etc six months after I read the book or series of books I can go back and pick them up and read them again and it's like the first time all over again (saves money on books rofl)

But I know I have memory issues, I have to write a diray basically to remember when and who I saw on what dates and what the conversation was if I need to have a back up memory. I am not like that retired Senator that write down everything all day long everyday down to what pair of socks he wore and what color the suit was.

But I find myself getting pizzed at peep when they ask a question and then get smart towards me with the reply they want answers like we have crystal balls and of course none of us do, no one can "predict when a VARO will do anything" but they leave out a lot of important stuff like their claim they are waiting on they seem to think a claim with 10 or 15 problems should be worked in the same time as a claim with one issue, and what difference should that make, excuse me? Is it me or am I the stupid one?

I get tired of even trying to respond anymore they don't want to hear any type of the fact that they may be causing the problems (writing IRIS every week does not help speed the VA up) or they tell you they haven't called their VSO but down thread they admit they have been calling their VSO but they don't tell them anything, thats nothing new, in 7 years I have never had a SO be able to tell me anything other than I should play lets make a deal or I should drop my claim and be grateful for what I already have, and that I am just being greedy because I expected I a higher PTSD rating than 50% and didn't I know most vets would love to be rated at 50% and that by my filing a NOD for more I was depriving another veteran from getting their claim handled, BS, SO's in my opinion are lazy and would prefer that no one ever calls them and expect action. They close their offices 2 days a week to play catch up and 6 months later they still haven;t filed appeals WTF and they claim they are overworked, they need to try and start working in most cases.

Maybe I should just walk away from the boards and stop trying to help, I don't mind answering questions for new people but I really hate ignorant lying people....am I the only one that gets this way?

testvet you are not alone, a lot of us get burned out, that is why it is important to take some r and r when needed. keeping the site running and updated can be overwhelming for me also, i get burned out you just have to know when your brain is telling you to take some time off, that you should :)

it can be very exhausting.

ps i love clive cussler, i would love to be dirk pitt in another life :)

I think we are missing the boat here.

I do get burned out and I take breaks to cure that manotony.

But the bottom line is this.

Hadit is here to help veterans and it says Veterans in General that means all Veterans who Join.

The Newbie crack is not very professional as it may run some folks off and we dont need that. They will go elsewhere to find their answers.

Sure answering the same questions becomes redundant but that is our responsibility. We all watch re-runs anyway. We cant enter a mindset that we are getting agravated or bothered when someone asks a quesation, No matter how stupid it may sound.

We are here to help Veterans with their claims and navigation through the VA system and that is the bottom line.

We have to take as it is and do what we have to do. Anything else would be selfish on our parts.

It is very important that when you see bad advise that you correct it if you can. Its also important that anyone taking advice from someone review some of the posts and ask clarifying questions Its is the Vets claim and not anyone else's

The Home Page on Hadit is loaded with answers that are written down and linked to rules and regulations. Not using the home page is a mistake if you are working your claim.
