Question
javguy0352
I'm not sure where to go. My last deployment was when I was on active duty 3 years ago, I have since become an drilling reservist. The symptoms I have are nightmares(I don't remember many , but my wife says I yell in my sleep, sometimes in Arabic. I have even threatened her in my sleep), irritability, a few drinks to help go to sleep, and hyper-vigilance/jumpy startle easy(I always thought it was because we are trained to be vigilant, but someone told me it is a symptom). I was asleep last night when my wife came home from work, she set her keys on the dresser, I jumped out of bed with my heart racing. So I decided to post here.
I don't want any sort of compensation or claim for it, I just want to know if I need to see someone about it. The things keeping me from seeing someone are 1) VA is 1.5 hours away, 2) I don't want the chance of being passed over for re-enlistment, 3) I don't want people to know, especially the people I work with.
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I'm just not sure what to do.
