Thanks 2quilt,

Now all I've got to do is work up the courage to talk to others about my problems. Like I said in my intro, I have used techniques I learned in psych classes to "forget" my time in Vietnam and it worked but created a whole new set of issues. Now, I can only recall bits and pieces of my tours so I have PTSD w/o being able to remember the experiences that caused it.

And then there's the disgraceful way we were treated by our "fellow Americans" when we got home. I've spent years thinking that I would'nt lift a finger to defend this country if another war came along and although the anger about this has subsided somewhat, I still feel the same way.
