Any veterans here? 15th MEU, 0311.
I can't take it anymore. It's been 5 years but I can't. I've tried every med, therapy and girls won't date someone who is anti-social and depressed as fuck.
I lost my child hood friend in Kunar back in 2010. I didn't see him get shot, but I was with him till the very last moment.
>>674005290
feel for you if true
Hang in there man if not for your family. Do it for your friend. He didn't died for you to eat your own bullet or for you to hang.
Here's a lifetip:
Don't go to war if you're a pussy.
>>674005290
I'll be praying for you bro. I know everyone on this board likes to post dead babies and hate on black people but I think they're just underage kids. I really wish you all the best
When I came back, my first week. Everything is/was diffrent, I didn't see a bag of trash, I seen a possible IED, I didn't see anything the same.. I could barely watch Tv without looking out the window every 10 seconds, My family makes fun of me because of it too. They said I was a nervious wreck my first week back, I just laugh along with them. They don't know anything but what we had to-do, therapy is god awful because you get some woman who doesn't know jack shit about the shit you see over there.
>>674005807
realest shit I've ever seen on 4chin
Hey brother not a marine but was a corspman with an infantry division in Afg. Wish I had some advice to give truth is I feel the same way a lot of times and still have fucked up dreams that leave me awake the whole night trying to shake them. Go to the VA there's a ton of good people that understand and want to help. Good luck stay strong.
>>674005663
Not a pussy, I served my country, I did what I had to-do.. But you don't unsee some of the shit you see over there.. I could go into stories, but you wouldn't believe me. CNN doesn't tell even half the story.

Hey dude I went through something similar and only recently got passed it. I didn't have ptsd but I had constant paranoia/really bad anxiety for 2 years. What got me through it was knowing that I could move somewhere where the threat was virtually non-existent. Since then I am able to live comfortably where I am without the constant threat that someone is out to get me. Hope this helps

Talk to other vets or even just look for a therapy meant for vets. You just have to put in a little effort to look. You're the only one holding your self back for a happier life.

These words are true, you can tell by the hate they generated.
You can't be an emotional mess or weak minded and join the military, it doesn't work out.

Exactly, all these pussies come back with "PTSD" and all that nonsense. The reality is they couldn't handle it and broke mentally. Woman shit tbh.
Hypnotherapy works. Get to a therapist and they'll make you forget what you saw.

>>674007143
So you're saying someone who isn't a mindless killing machine isn't fit for the military? Just because someone is human, and has emotions, that means they can't do it? Good god this whole site is full of edgy neckbeards.

My bf had terrible ptsd and raged a lot after he came home. He spent a few years getting his shit together OP, might just take you a while. He's become a vigilant alpha out of it, has honed his issues into his strengths. He took up getting fit after recovery, and is really into guns and video games. He has tought me so much too, I'm getting my concealed permit soon. I hope things get better for you though, I only suggest finding a new passion and maybe get involved with some veterans who will relate to you. My bf plays a lot on live, into co-op games and he's usually up late. If you play too idk, I'm sure he'd be down to play and chat.
Good luck.

Oil? Oh you mean that black liquid that is essential to every aspect of society, besides your "organic, non-GMO, cumbers that you shove up your ass? Yeah I'd gladly fight for oil in order to keep my country running. Jesus Christ people are stupid. A country needs resources to thrive and prosper, take what you don't have, defend what you do have.
>>674005290
I would recommend you avoid this website. Nothing but negativity and hatred.
Went to Afghanistan in 2011. Lost one guy in a training accident, had a couple unnerving experiences on the road, but nothing happened thankfully. Two of my best friends killed themselves since we've been back. Shit sucks at times
Came home and hooked up with a chick right away. Funny thing though is I couldn't get hard. Met a couple girls here and there since then, but have yet to get hard around them. Not sure what the fuck is wrong with me. I've become a shut in almost completely now.
Every day I struggle with this overwhelming urge to run away from everything I've been doing. Got a degree, working on masters and have had good internships. Life is pretty good now, and it's fucking terrible. I don't know where I'd go. Nothing makes me happy. Being a wreck of a human is strange.
>>674005290
>I can't take it anymore.
Would you have taken a bullet for your friend? Well, he took one for you. Neither of you asked for this and yet here you are. Your friend was killed without having a choice as to how his life would end. You have a choice. You can live into old age a veteran; every breathe you take a memorial to your friends final moments... Or you can exit early, buried next to your friend as the guy who, unlike his friend, couldn't quite take the hand he was dealt.
Why cant you asshole win a war for once and stop wasting our tax mlney. Youre fighting a bunch of poor assholes wiht outdated weapons and you still cant stop terrorism or fix anything.

You're alive sand can feel your pain. That's a good thing. My nephew died last October in Afganistan. I took it pretty hard. He's pushing up daisies now and cant feel shit. Fucking waste of a fine young man for those sand niggers. Go to the VA they can help you with depression. Try Paxil its a great antidepressant.

If you're that weak minded then shouldn't you at least be satisfied with serving your country through a non-combat role?
You amerifags have created this unhealthy obsession with the military and these rage attacks clearly shows it.
If there were a legitimate threat to the country and its people, then I'd say it's the honorable thing to do, but these sand niggers should pose very little threat and should kill themselves instead.

Here's what you do: Fuck up your life completely missing someone who would have loved to see you succeed. Drink a lot, fail at life in general, but take some time to fucking heal. That's all it takes man. It's been 6 years since I lost my Sgt in Marjah and I fucking miss that fucker constantly. That's life now. February 14th, 2010 I killed my first goatfucker. february 23rd I overheard we had a BDA of "too many body parts to count. At least 8 confirmed."
The shit's gonna fuck with you man. Just gotta realize that life sucks dicks, but there's shit worth putting up with it for. That 22 until None shit is for fucking pussies man. If you're not gonna kill yourself, you're not gonna do it. You need to push that bullshit out of your head.
Just constantly do something. Keep yourself occupied. That's all I got.

Guards is a sweet gig, but I'd do it before finishing school. I've gone to school for free for over 4 years now, getting paid for most of it as well.
Everyone's different, but I'm glad I signed up and deployed young. I've got to watch all my civilian friends get married and divorced and go into debt-depression.

Nope, because I'm not retarded. I think most people who claim PTSD were partiality retarded or in LD classes in the first place, war just gave them an excuse to complain and mooch.

>>674010353
>they will abandon you
I ditched my fiance when i got back. One thing deployment does is open your eyes to the bullshit you'd convinced yourself you needed in your life. I was with (what I thought was) a great girl, had a great job, setting up a solid future. When I got home, I realized I had convinced myself I was doing "what a man does!". I was miserable with the bitch I had. My job was stupid and unfulfilling, and my future looked bleak and depressing.
What's tough is finding what makes you happy, after you'd carved away all the shit in your life. I was left with an exposed core of who and what I was. No one truly knows what makes them tick deep down. Men are fucking stony down there. I still haven't figured out what I'm doing with my life, but I'm a sight better than what I used to be.

He went through years of recovery before we started dating, also ptsd isn't combat related. He was injured before getting deployed, worked on base as a mechanic. He has never even hit a woman, and by rage it meant verbally abusive. He hasn't been like that to me at all. He's a protective and supportive aplha type, and I love that about him.

>>674012412
you do realize that Americans provide your military and provide your internet servers for you to bitch on right ?
>>674005290
The military is not a thing in my country so the only experience I can draw is that deep up my own rectum, around the duodenum. Still, I think at this point you've gotta approach the issue as less about recovering from what you've faced over there and more about starting a new life of purpose. And not purpose in the sense of, "you're a valuable human being", but purpose like that of that old Japanese dude from the documentary who is autistic about Sushi.
The fact is the brain is built to adapt to whatever it perceives to be most important, but its mechanism of choosing this is imprecise and doesn't necessarily coincide with what we consciously consider valuable. For the brain, is heavily biased towards visceral shit. Extreme events like being gang-raped can be finished in less than an hour, but in terms of the psychological input for the brain they can easily be equivalent to years of sitting in a cubicle checking your emails. In this sense, war is basically the most extreme thing a person can do; it's literally life or death decisions for months on end. So even though you might be five years out from it, if everything you've done in the interim has been comparatively unchallenging/meaningless, for your brain you might as well have just stepped of the plane.
Sadly, there's nothing you can do civilian-wise that's ever going to match the same level of sensory intensity, at least nothing legal, but what you do have now is a much longer time span over which to perform weaker but still somewhat intense shit. So become a workaholic, get a girl pregnant, join a sports team, go the gym and get anorexia, whatever. Just try to pick something that would realistically lead to a better life. One thing you should definitely do is quit 4chan and any other social media; these sites are behavioural traps, designed like MMOs to give you second-by-second enjoyment without any of the long-term payoff. Even non-vets get fucked by these places.

>>674005290
I think the biggest problem American vets have to deal with is that their "good vs evil" "black vs white" simplistic narrative of religion, politics, and the world; falls apart in combat situations.
They see innocents slaughtered, learn they're fighting for corrupt politicians/corporations, they learn that Arab does not mean evil anymore than American means good.
They see death, decay, rubble, flies, vulture, beatles, wounds, people becoming both invalids and retards.....
But really it's not so much about the death and pain as it is losing your precious childhood ideals taught by churches and god-fearin patriotic parenting.
And not to get all preachy, but these wars really are evil and unjust and fought for the powers that be in banking, big oil, and the military-industrial complex. Remember when wars used to end? Neverending war is much more profitable and when the power barons come to rely on war for steady profits, that war can never be ceased without the power barons losing cash.... so they never end.
OP, all I ask is that your friend died for something (rather than corrupt business interests). If he died so you could wake up to what America is becoming, he didn't die in vain.

Sorry to hear that you suffering so bad OP.
Keep at it though mate .. dont let the bastards win!!
Just remember to try and make the most of the little things you enjoy .. like going for a run or sitting out in the sun and feeling it warm you through your clothes .
It way too easy to focus on the negative shit in your life (speaking from experience) when your down .. and it really skews your view on the world.
But trust me .. there are still positives, however little, if you open your eyes and look for them
Take care bro .. and hang in there

That's a retarded attitude. You just proved exactly what the anon said. You see things in black and white and super simplistic terms.

>I've tried every med, therapy and girls won't date someone who is anti-social and depressed as fuck.
Here's the thing, if you're always flaunting how unhappy and miserable you are, no one will want to be around you. Everyone says they'll be there if you're struggling in life, but if you always seem down (shit, sometimes all it takes is getting down a few times), you'll find people will leave your life ASAP or distance themselves.
Fake being happy and content. That's how you get women (and just regular friends as well), then when you have a few interested ladies, you're ACTUALLY happy and content and it becomes easier to score more.
And also, if you can't get a gf or get laid as a veteran, you're not doing shit right. Republican girls are always eager to spread their legs for a "hero" (cop, soldier, firefighter, etc).
Just don't seem to be such a defeatist about it.
Seriously, I've known guys that served and the second they mention that, literally every goddamn right wing girl in the room becomes interested (even taken women).
If you can't play literally the easiest angle in the dating game, you must be full potato at woman.

Sucks you were in the war man, I couldn't possibly ever begin to understand you're level of depression, but I can tell you everything can get better man, therapy may not help, and fuck the women if they can't stand by you, you've done your country a service they seem to be ungrateful for.
But seriously man if what you're saying is true I truly hope you will find the peace you're looking for, but don't let it be at the end of a gun, or at the bottom of a bottle, or anywhere that could possibly make it worse.
You fought crazy fucks man, you'll get through this.

Dude was admitted to my ward with chest pain and a shortness of breath, I've never seen inside a dude's chest like that before. Lungs are a lot more jelly like than in the anatomy books. I had to sort of hold one side of the dude's chest open because we couldn't get the brace in place - having your hands about 5cm's from a guy's beating heart is crazy man. Surgeon put in a tube that basically acted as an artificial aorta. Fed it into the heart and secured it, and then stitched it to the two arteries in his legs.

Surgical nursing is great man, if you can work in theatres. Procedure lasted about 6 and a half hours, but it went by so fast. I got shit to do today though, I might make an 'ask me anything' thread later on about surgery if anyone would be interested. Peace to you OP, take care of yourself man.

>>674005290
Dont get me wrong, i really feel for you. Its not your fault. But you americans just fascinate me. Ever since the first world war people come home with shell shock or some ptsd. The glorious US of A has been in 6 wars since then. Suprise! After WWII there has been no real thread to your country. All you idiots got sent in for the political agenda or money and still people came back fucked for life. And still you apply to go to the military. 4 generations of depressed, suicidal, mangled veterans and still you go to war. Its just sad.
Hahaha you keep watching Fox News, CNBC, CNN...you're in the right track to be a laughingstock
You didn't spend years defending your country just to an hero. You went way past most of us. Continue doing that, even if it means counting the small stuff.
btw ALLAHU AKBAR boom

This. But it's nothing to laugh at.
It's a highly succesful system to turn those with low confidence into cannon fodder to oil the money motors of the weapon industry. Tell an insecure person to risk their life to get instant hero-status, and they'll ask no questions and do anything. No matter how illogical it is.
It's sad and pathetic. It causes children to grow up without a father and even be proud of that.
>inb4 hurr you can express that opinion because we fight so you can
>>674021997
You need to ridicule it as much as possible, because the more it's put in the ridiculous light it deserves, the less people participate in these retarded self-made wars.

Fuck you coward. Hope you die in a fucking ditch after getting raped by a pack of rapid dogs.

I feel you bro. Served 5 years in the IDF. I know most people around here will hate on this army, but that's not the point right now. I lost 2 friends who served with me back at 2014. Not childhood friends but it still hurts.
Try to take a break, distance yourself from everything. Take a long vacation somewhere far and quite. You have to live at least for them.

>>674023071
Not trying to start a dick measuring contest, anon, but since 2002 I've done 5 tours in Iraq/Afg, in the USMC. I've seen, fucked, shot and lived through my fair share of things I probably shouldn't have. I've seen some total bad asses lose their sense of sanity and revert to a sad child. I've seen total cowards man up at the right moment and prove their usefulness. "War is Hell." It has nothing to do with being a man, and I'd take some one willing to push it for 5 years over a cynic or pessimist in my squad any day. Oorah.
Stop acting high mighty, you don't even know OP. You're probably 19 and fresh out of boot camp.

Yep I was in 2/6. That sucks man I didn't personally lose someone but a guy got killed in another company when we were in trek nawa. Even though I didn't know him it still sucks to know we lost a brother.
All I can say is don't let people tell you to get over it. Join a veteran support group, they're everywhere and they've all experienced the same stuff and it helps to talk about it with people that will genuinely care.

I appreciate you trying to upset me, I really do. I know you want to make me mad, but i'm sorry to dissapoint you. You make me glad. Happy that people are still able to speak freely about things they are passionate about. That's why I joined in the first place, for freedom. I know now that I was just an instrument of the federal government to please their benefactors. And you know what? I'm happy. I'm grateful for my 3 tours. The shit that I saw, that I will never unsee. I never knew until I was in Iraq how the world really is. How people really are. They're fucking animals. I'm glad I learned when I was young, so I can prepare myself. You? The closest you got to a warzone was CNN. You are lost to the nature of the reality of this earth and all that inhabit it. I'm glad I served your masters making them wealthier. I hope that wealth trickles down to you, and as you grow older and more ignorant and stockpile your shit, the world gets closer to falling apart. When it happens, people like me will feed off the people like you, finally reaping the benefits of all which we have sacrificed. And we will leave you for the wolves.

>>674005290
Yes. It's hard. I've managed to supress it, somehow. Hanging on for my wife, children and family members. Can't drop the thought of how they would feel if I were gone one day, or how they would handle knowing I commited suicide. It's not worth living with these horrible memories and flashbacks. Life doesn't seem worth it. But I couldn't possibly do that to my closest ones.
I think the America media is massively to blame for a lot of vets in the US being suicidal. Basically I didn't believe it until I saw with my own eyes how your media won't show the results of what's actually happening it's so sanitized the war reporting I think young people go into conflict thinking its going to be a walk in the park& everything the U.S does is totally right & no one can hurt them & stuff & it will all end happy ever after.In the UK we see the dead we see the injured we see a lot of what's going on.Our media is still full of Shit but in the US you might as well watch Donald Duck
>>674025717
>I never knew until I was in Iraq how the world really is. How people really are. They're fucking animals.
you're an animal. Iraqis just wanted to live in peace yet you go fucking up their country to rebuild it.
> The closest you got to a warzone was CNN
That's something most people would be proud of. Being intelligent enough to warrant more in your life than just shards of metal flying at your head.
> and as you grow older and more ignorant and stockpile your shit, the world gets closer to falling apart. When it happens, people like me will feed off the people like you, finally reaping the benefits of all which we have sacrificed. And we will leave you for the wolves.
Fantasy. Never in the last 50 years in almost all developed nations has anything like the happening, happened.
You continue to be the "king" of the apocalypse and i'll continue to be a fully functioning member of society who's value isn't determined by how many civilians he's shot, or the skills one may have when society collapses (ready history, it has almost never in last 50 years)
>>674005290
Did you know that your friend died for nothing?
Here's a secret OP, that probably very few of these military types, or especially any from the previous generation will talk about.
They all feel that way.
I still remember going to the bathroom to take a piss one night when I was in high school and hearing my Vietnam Veteran stepfather sobbing in the living room with my mom comforting him. When I asked her the next day wtf happened, she told me about the friends he'd lost, and how he still cries about them, and how he feels guilty he's here and they're not.
You don't ever fully get over it. It just becomes the thing at night that makes you human. You went to war. You witnessed death and destruction. And you lost people you cared about. Step back and look at your self, and ask if that's going to be your defining trait. Find something else that brings you joy, and make it your substitute. (And hopefully make it productive)
Anybody who says man the fuck up or stop being a pussy, is just missing the point. You aren't a pussy. Literally the polar opposite. But to become that kind of a man takes a toll on you. It's easy to sign up, it's harder to come home.

Syria was a developed nation. Look where they are now. Remember Hurricane Katrina? No of course you don't. Let me remind you about all of the people who got put to the knife because they had more water-bottles than the next guy. How about all of the people raped and murdered because the National Guard didn't show up for days after martial law was declared and it was every man for himself. It doesn't take a total collapse of society, trust me. It just takes one fuck-up for chaos to breed. You just further supported my point to how oblivious you are to the way things truly are. You think the government will always be there for you, but they won't even if they wanted to which they don't. If you think you're any different of a serial number than a soldier is to the powers that be you are gravely mistaken. Just be glad some of us volunteered so they didn't ship your fat self over to Iraq. May god have mercy on you, because the world knows no concept of mercy. It only knows strength and weakness, and I can smell the weakness being pushed out of every pore in your body through my computer screen, it's disgusting but reassuring at the same time.
>>674005290
American pussy soldiers hahahah, it's because you don't fight for ideals but for money
>>674005290
You have to let that shit go. I was in Afghanistan in the late 80's and saw/did some godawful shit. Also El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Lebanon and a few other places. My wife only knew I'd been in the army for a while before we met. After 6 years some of it came out when she confronted me about some things. So I told her just enough to shut her up. She's still with me. Most women would have been done after that conversation. She thinks I'm a total psychopath but she's still with me. She's right too because I'd do it all again and not lose a wink of sleep over it. I actually enjoyed the killing I did. The fewer communists and terrorists the better. What I don't enjoy is the friends who didn't make it back and knowing I'll never see them again. My DD214 doesn't even have a discharge date on it and just ends 3 years before I got out. That's one of the things that freaked her out.
You suffer cus 'ur mate died for nothing.
>>674022511
Wrong.
Look at how this guy talks:
>>674030463
>>674030761
They're too far gone. They see the world as their favorite war bluray and are so stuck in their "I've joined the military so I know how the REAL world works" mentality, that they romanticize it to the point they're deaf to criticism or ridicule. When you're a nobody, you WILL desperately cling to any idea that tells you you've become a somebody; a hero even. They crave it. That's how US military grows. It's how some rapists manage to convince their victims that they're actually being loved and it's an indication of how beautiful they are.
>I can smell the weakness being pushed out of every pore in your body

>>674033429
True. What does it say about you, some virgin posting a picture of another guy on a Japanese image board though?
>>674033460
And theoretically if it's a war fought on your country's soil, however unlikely, what would you do then?
>>674033429
Wouldn't say it's completely voluntarily. There's tons of psychological manipulation to it.
1) Be a nobody in a world full of celebs and succesful people
2) Get desperate
3) Government comes to you and says "we need you so much, please be a hero for the people, fight for us and everyone will thank you and respect you automatically"
4) Your insecurities say "fuck yes"
5) Weapon indistry cashes in on your naivity, high fives government
The one thing that makes it inexcusable, is that we're talking about adults here who should know better.
>>674005290
I have nothing but deep respect for people like you. You of all people do not deserve to feel this way. I'm not religious, but I too will pray for you.
>>674033786
Then I'd probably consider joining the military, yes.
>>674019724

>this is now a cringe thread
>>674012320
This is actually true.
Since ancient times war has been about slaughter and bloodshed. It's just that americans nowdays think war is about 'serving muh country'. So when they see slaughter and/or bloodshed they whine like the bitches they are. Just like OP.

Now imagine you're in a country who's standing military is rendered helpless against such a war as a well organized militia begins a siege on your home and you're left utterly helpless.
Whether its the goal of those in charge or not, most people who join infantry during situations like we have now are usually influenced to do so because they see suffering and refuse to stand by the sidelines and watch.
And I'm in no way saying that its what the wars are about, but to attack people who sacrifice themselves in the belief it is for the benefit of others is pretty shitty.

I forget to breathe when I look at this. Boxxy is flawless. It's like nature at one point decided to set the standard of perfection. Then it gave birth to Boxxy, to help every female measure how far off or close they are to something ideal.. something so drop dead beautiful that you simply can't describe it without using words of magic.
When I look at her I feel like I drown in everything that is good, some kind of substance that blocks out everything that makes the world a sad or dark place. I can only feel happy. And it's warm. The love for Boxxy that is. It's so god damn warm and pure. Fucking hell, when this girl came into existence, angels sang and as long as she is around, their song will ever resonate around the world to remind us that heaven indeed does exist.
It's all around us, since we share this universe with Boxxy.
Boxxy. My love. My everything.
