I lost my boyfriend to his ptsd. He could not cope with allowing himself to be loved. He felt he was undeserving and was a terrible person. He has many other "classic case" syptoms...too many to list here.

He is a veteran from Desert Storm and Afghanistan and has been getting some treatment from the local VA. I do not think that the VA has enough resources or progressive treatments for ptsd. Its just sad because these men and women pay a terrible price for our country. When they get home they are expected to be "normal" yet they have been living in a war zone for many months. I think the reservists who have been called to active duty have it even worse. They are just thrown back into "real life" as soon as their duty has been filled.

I love my country but what are we doing to our soldiers? Is it really worth it?
