i had a suuuper hard time right when i got back. i had only every been in 3 fights my whole life but when i moved to San Diego after i got out i went on a drunk brawling spree. took over a year for me to pull it together.

Yeah it took about a year for me also. But when you I go to sleep its a whole different story. Anyone else have that problem? .. every things fine during the day then when you go to sleep its all sorts of fucked up?

I am afraid of the dark now been back since 08. Can't sleep in it intense anxiety and paranoia. Only time I can sleep in the dark is when I have an overnight drill. I guess it'd just The thought knowing my battle is next to me.

i pretty much just told myself to pull it the fuck together. i kept my face in the bottle for 3 months straight, go to bed hammered, wake up do it all over again. i've got an awesome job now, workin and livin in PA. never in a million years would i ever have considered living here but it's been a blessing in disguise. sometimes you have to separate yourself from the situation (war) to get a full grasp on reality then come to terms with it...... workin for me so far lol

I kinda faced the same reality... Either you can pull it together, or you can be a complete nut case that no ones gonna wanna be around. Takes time and effort but its a hell of alot better than being paranoid all the time and scaring family and friends away.

Ive got mine under control pretty good, but i do find that i snap easily at almost anything anymore...
