Thanks
Thanks for complimenting our soldiers. I had just seen them on TV when their coffins wrapped in the Pakistani Flag came back on military transport plane. And later the movie just touched. Must have been horrible there! A good day to you, sir!

i believe i suffer from ptsd or something like it. i'm in the army i and a fellow soldier survived a grenade attack back in 1993 in modugishu Somolia. It has become evident to me that the stress has come back from that day and the constant RPG attacks. I have been told by my g/f that i tense up as of at attention in my sleep and gritt my teeth all night and yell and scream in my sleep but dont remeber the dreams or anything of the night except that im sore in the morning and don't sleep well.
Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
because I suffer from social anxiety so bad I stay locked up in the house for weeks at a time.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have attempted suicide also and fight severe depression daily
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- doesn't seem to work for me.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- It helps but I need a medication change because i am back to not sleeping well again and had a nightmare last night from the war in Mogadishu, Somalia. I have heard good things about Zanix for anxiety. That seems to be what sets my depression off is the anxiety.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- it isn't really working either. I just can't seem to hold my head up for long.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- makes me tired and sleep all day.It is slow acting and has little positive affects for me. It used to work but after 4 months now nothing.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Never did a thing for me.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- TRIED IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND dr DISCONTINUED. iT HAD NO POSITIVE EFFECTS. It caused me E.D. problems.
- Writing Working / Worked
- It helps sometimes but usually makes me more depressed because I am not happy with where I am mentally,financially and being alone. I have a great sense of never being happy with a woman again. I feel so alone
