HOLE-E-CRAP! Well, Woman… In the words of Elsa from “Frozen”…”Let it goooo… let it gooo!!” Just let it go. What a douche.
I’m in the Army. Pretty decent pay after 20 years, but mostly I went in debt with my shopping habits. Been steadily reducing that debt, but the collection has been reduced as well. Now I get a piece here and there and don’t use credit to get it!
Thanks all!!
I go to school on line and the army pays for it. I’ve been taking one or two classes a semester, when I can fit it in, for the last ten years, so it’s been a looooong journey! My major is criminal justice. I figure there’ll always be crooks:)
Something else I didn’t see mentioned was that different things work for different people, so those who said something that may have seemed trifling to you may have helped them. We all deal with PTSD in different ways. I’m going thru a bit right now and I think my husband is, too, though he won’t talk about it. I can’t blame him because I won’t talk about it either. One thing that helped me was that I do have a right to feel the way I feel. What I experience may not have been that bad to, say, someone who was shot at or blown up, but it was traumatic to ME and the worst thing I had gone thru. You have a right to feel however you want, and talking about it may or may not help. For me, its feeling useful and running the piss out of myself. It doesn’t take but a day for me to feel worthless and I am emotionally on the fence again if I don’t feel productive. I went to the EENT for a stupid hearing test and the doctor asked me if I knew anyone downrange who’d been killed. I guess it’s routine to ask, but I got pissed and started crying. Poor guy. I was just there for hearing loss! LOL
Anyway, you have a right to feel how you feel. It’ll take time, but hang in there and try different things.
