ranger11bv Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 What happened? Was talking to some friends on the phone and found out that they were getting together without me. We always get together w/ each other. But being me, I thought different. That put me over the edge. I was on the highway at the time. This is the second time me being in the mental health ward.

HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 2, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 2, 2010 What should I say/ tell them?? Good Morning, 'Ranger11bv'. Pete 53's suggestion about visiting a Vet Center sounds like a good idea. Tell them what you just posted here. That's a start. "Was talking to some friends on the phone and found out that they were getting together without me. We always get together w/ each other. But being me, I thought different. That put me over the edge.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted August 2, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 2, 2010 If I were you I would see a VSO Veteran Service Officer at DAV, VFW, American Legion or State Organization and ask them to help file a claim for PTSD/with depression.

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 2, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 2, 2010 What is your current rating for? If it is for PTSD/depression the trips to the mental ward should really help you get a higher rating. I would file for an increase using the date of your hospital admission and those records as your evidence. The GAF you got on admission has to be low or they would not have admitted you.
