-i am now divorced due to my problems
-unable to see my two children
-being screwed around by the va
-cant hold a job

and generally do not have a very good out look on life, this site is the best thing that i have found in quite a while and i really hope that i can meet some good people and finally be able to talk about some of my problems.... only thing that i dont like is that i do not have a computer or anything cuz i gave my ex and the kids my house.. i am actually at my job, which i really shouldnt be cuz they are only open 7am to 5pm and it is like 330 in the morning.. but i dont sleep and had i not been here i probably never would have found this site..... anyway i just wanted to introduce myself and i appoligize for rambling i am just excited looking forward to talking with you all and hopefully finding some answers...

Hi tankertoy, welcome to the forum. Mate, I am a veteran myself, and you need to understand that what doctors tell you is not always necessarily what is best for you. The labels you provided above for example; they are all encompassed within PTSD itself, though they give you these labels to prescribe you medication for each, as that is what they must do for both the doctor aspects and business sides of things. What you have is PTSD, and regardless what is going wrong in your life at present, trust me when I say it will get better if the more you acknowledge and work through your problems.

Hi, :hello:.....It certainly sounds like PTSD to me tankertoy. Good for you on finding us, and Welcome aboard. Glad you did introduce yourself and communicate all you need, bc it's really not ramblin to so many of us. It's just that sometimes it feels and sounds like it to us while we are writing (even talking sometimes), but it's really not ramblin, as it All makes sense and we do and can understand.

Hope
