I have been referred to and have been accepted into the Batavia PTSD program (4 week program) and I am reporting there on june 5th 2012. I am already 60% disabled through the VA (30 % for PTSD and the rest for an injury I suffered from and IED explosion i survived). I have been unable to hold a job due to my SC disabilities and I have been barley able to survive, feed myself and pay my bills to keep a roof over my head with just living on what the VA pays me monthy at 60%. My Ptsd symptoms have gotten so bad that it is hard for me to even function normally anymore. I wish i could have my normal life back, and I wish I could actually work and make a living so that I didnt have to try to live off of $1,000 a month for the rest of my life. I have been going to outpatient treatment for the last 3 years since returning home from my last deployent to afghanistan, and over this past winter I put in a request for a raise in my disability rating. I'm hoping that my attendance at this 4 week program will help the VA see how badly I truly am affected by my PTSD and that they will help me survive, but most of all, I really hope this program helps me function more like a normal human being, liek the guy i used to be, i cant remember the lst time i Truly was happy, or truly smiled...seems like forever ago, im broken
