ptsd I Would Like To Thank Everyone

[calnight]

THANKYOU TO EVERYONE HEAR AT HADIT. IT HAS BEEN A LONG BATTLE BUT I FINALLY WON. MY WIFE AND KIDS NOW CAN ENJOY BEING FINACIALLY FREE. THE FIGHT WAS NOT FOR ME IT WAS FOR THEM AND IF THEY WERE NOT HEAR I DONT THINK I COULD GO ON.

THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS NEVER GIVE UP AND YOU MUST BE PATIENT THE WAIT IS THE HARDEST PART. IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO GET 100 P&T. I WAS GIVEN 50% FOR PTSD THAT TOOK 8 MONTHS AND THEN I APPEALED AND AFTER 2 DENIALS I FOUND HADIT. I LEARNED WHAT WAS NEEDED TO WIN. MEDICAL EVIDENCE IS WHAT YOU NEED A DOCTOR SAYING YOU CANT WORK BECUASE OF SC AND GOOD C&P. SO I WENT TO WORK AND GOT THE EVIDENCE NEEDED AND AFTER THE 2ND DENIAL IT TOOK 7 MONTHS TO GET THE 70% AND IU. I ALSO HAVE LEARNED THAT NOT ALL RO ARE THE SAME. SOME HEAR HAVE WAY MORE MEDICALL EVIDENCE THEN ME AND ARE STILL STUGGLING TO GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. BE PATTIENT AND IT WILL COME.

TO BE HONEST I THINK I WILL MISS THE FIGHT WITH THE VA. I GUESS THATS THE MARINE IN ME. I ENJOYED WORKING MY CASE AND MAKING IT BULLET PROOF. THE CALLS AND EMAILS WITH THE VA DEALING WITH THOSE STUPID SERVICE OFFICERS. HAS I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE I AM YOUNG AND NOW I WONDER WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. I DO HAVE 2 WONDERFULL GIRLS 7 YEARS AND 20 MONTHS. AND THEY KEEP ME BUSY NOW BUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THEY GROW. I AM SCARED OF BEING BORED AND AFRAID THAT IT COULD MAKE MY PTSD WORSE MY DOCTOR SAYS I NEED TO KEEP BUSY I SURE I WILL FIND SOMETHING. I DO MISS WORKING BUT I ALSO KNOW I CANT TAKE THE CHANCE AND HURT SOMEONE. I GUESS THIS WILL BE MY NEXT FIGHT I ALWAYS LIKE A GOOD FIGHT.

WELL THANK YOU EVERYONE AND T-BIRD I WILL BE SENDING A DONATION. GOD BLESS SEMPER FI

You hit on something not talked about much and that is what am I going to do now. I`m in that boat. I so miss going to work. I have become a hermit.

I have been IU for five years and I miss going to work. I am limited by my physical problems from doing a lot of things I used to enjoy. One thing to do might be to volunteer as a service officer at your local VSO like VVA. If you can do something to help people who are worse off like the homeless it helps to give yourself a bit of structure and you feel good about it. I was being a tutor to little kids teaching them to read. I was also a SO at my local AL until I got fed up with their particular style of running the post like tavern. I don't miss the work I did I just miss the routine of talking to certain people and the human contacat. An exercise program is good at a gym where you go at a certain time every day. You will met others and it becomes a routine and provides structure to your day. I am still struggling with the problem you are talking about and it has been five years.

I still work at age 63, I plan to work till I am 70 if at all possible. If I did not work I believe I would also be a hermit. I have never been very good at social events. I can't stand crowds, but I do believe John999 and Army just gave good advise, you must get out and do things if you are able too. There are two reasons I hope to work till I am 70, the primary one is to stay active.

Find something to do and do it. Stay active

G-d bless you, Calnight. Don't disappear now that you can R&R! I don't have PTSD so I can't totally relate, but it's important to stay connected to the people you are comfortable with. We're basically social animals!

As Josephine says, enjoy the grandkids and keep living as well as you can, leatherneck.

Best for the future,

Ralph
