ptsd New Beginning Registering For Va Mental Health Ptsd Mdd Psychotic Features

[82airborne]

Well today I called the Va to start mental health treatment. I was informed that I needed to register with patient services. So either today or tomorrow I will go to the mental health clinic to begin treatment. So after I go down there and see if I can be seen and helped I will update the results. Prozac seems to only help me be more social. It does nothing for my violent side. So I plan to stay in treatment until I get this mental situation under control.

Ok. I'm up to 5 prazosin at bedtime. I'm still having crazy stupid emotional nightmares. It worked at first. But they appear to be a placebo!!!!!! All the side affects from that serequel seem to have left me. Thank you God. My whole inside of my mouth was in pain. Yes my entire tongue. Also my whole right side was in pain. My hands are still jittery and my breathing isn't the best. I'm also feeling nausea and headaches every day. So this is where I'm at in my road to sanity.

Well yesterday I got a letter from the va healthcare system. They have put me in a non-combat PTSD support group. Hopefully this group help me out. Truthly I don't know how it's gonna help the horrendous things I see when I close my eyes are when I'm in the dark. I will not say what I see but it's not good. So I don't know. My head is still hurting. Also I keep seeing things out the corner of my eye that's definitely not there when I turn my head. Hallucinations has become a part of my reality. So when I see things I really don't know if I'm really seeing what I'm seeing. Right now I'm hearing a low thump. I don't know if it's my ears from tinnitus hearing a heartbeat I had that before are if it's outside or actually a part of my imagination. I still have not received my veteran identification card. They keep having o resubmit it. I don't know. Also I have been feeling nauseous also almost at least once a day. My head feel like its going to pop.

If you get to feeling homocidal or suicidal check yourself into the VA. This does not show weakness. It shows you are acting responsible. If you hurt someone else you are screwed. The VA won't help you and the justice system sure won't help you. If you hurt yourself they will just write you off as another vet bites the dust and "oh, why did he do that?" "We take such good care of our vets".

Thanx I'm really trying. I think it's all these MEDS I'm taking. I don't know. But I realized I gotta stay in the house until I get myself under control.

82nd. I hope that you have a great day today. I know it is hard having all the racing thoughts. i found something that maybe helpful to you.

kinda simple, but it sounds crazy.

when your mind is thinking crazy thoughts, and they are louder than you want them to be, tell them to get louder.

The thoughts are involuntary. You can't control if you have them or not.. so..... If you turn it into a Voluntary action by telling your brain, "Get louder you SOB". then your throughs will no longer be involuntary. This allows you to have the control.

I learned this from a friend that told me how to stop hiccuping. Hiccuping is involuntary, so if you get them, tell yourself to start hiccuping, and they will stop. At least they do for me.

AGain, I hope that you have a great day man!!! Keep your chin up
