Anyone have any ideas for PTSD treatment for ops that won't be declassified until after I die. I gave up on VA treatment after they declared me incompetent because I missed an overdue bill and I cannot talk about the major incident. In are Submarine Force we don't discuss what happens after we leave the pier. I really feel like a pussy asking for help but .... I'm not climbing a bell tower to off people, I just want some ideas. I'm tired of the anger, nightmares, feeling like I'm crawling out of my skin and other shit.

While I can't answer your specific question, I could not pass op the opportunity to tell you that you should never, never "feel like a pussy asking for help"... We all need help now and then and asking for it takes courage, which, in and of itself, proves you are not a pussy.

Don't give up... You will get the help you need. I am sure someone on this site will be able to answer your question.

We are all here for you, brother.

You might try one of the Vet Centers. Many of the counselors/reps are former/retired military who have walked the same walk. Example: I worked with a former sniper (Vietnam) who felt he had been ordered to kill American defectors. I had been in the same area and was cognizant of the intel surrounding that particular assignment. It removed any question about targets being US nationals. Targets were Warsaw Pact.

The Vet Centers work on the concept of group sessions where the vet is talking directly with contemporaries.

Smoke weed. It helps. Dont be ignorant about it and do some research. It has a stigmata about it because of legalities but it definietly helps

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
