    ok. I will spill one scenario I've had to endure.

    Isolation. Being locked up for months on end. At one point, I wanted to get a hair cut. mentioned it to security. they said no problem. half way expecting to be able to leave the confines of my solitude, I was informed later that day, that a barber was waiting for me down stairs............................................ ....

    3rd hardest would be having the hottest women ive ever seen in my life pass out next to me on a bed and i just roll over and go to sleep. Fighting the urge to cop a feel. Another example of free will.

    Had a TBI (depressed skull fx surgery) and had to learn to walk and talk again. The talking / reading came back fast but the walking was a bitch. After walking everything else was easy.

    I feel you, I had a TBI two days before I was leaving country. It wasn't as bad as yours though so for that I am thankful.

    I had one from a high heel shoe being smashed into my skull as an 8 year old. Still have it... used to have black outs all the time until I was 10 or so. Also have a crack in the right front of my skull. Runs from my right eye up the near center of my head... China buffet cabinet on Easter because I talked back...

    I've experienced extremely stressful situation in my past which has caused me to have forms of PTSD, I've read that many mind control and self help books I can control times of sadness and reoccurring past events but I cant control them when I am asleep. I have emotional battles within myself and many times I could explode with enormous rage but I never do its fully under control. Many people around me have no idea about this I've kept it to myself there's only a select few who know.

    I also come across some serious stressful situation daily within my work, I wish I could explain more but they are the most disgusting, disturbing and painful things you can imagine in life. There are some really bad people out there.

    My mom passing away at 51

    What do you do for a living Marcus? On a side note... Have you ever listened to anything from Tony Robbins? His work has helped me with PTSD

    I respect your privacy Marcus, so my thoughts about your situation will remain my own. But you've hinted before, and yes, that would fvck with the minds of most, self included.

    I'm still rehabbing from my situation. But I think I made some significant progress the other night. Feels like a boulder has been lifted from my chest.

    Glad to hear your doing well

    I've never mentioned anything about my personal stressful time on here but it was 14 yrs and feels like yesterday sometimes. I have my ways to deal with it.

    My father committing suicide when I was 8 was prob my worst. I actually just turned 35, his age at death, and I just had a child of my own... Everything is good in my life, career, marriage, fatherhood, and for some reason i am more emotional about it now than ever. Maybe not emotional, just a weird state of mind... I spent my whole life fighting to not repeat his path, and now that I have outlived him it is doing some weird sh*t to my mind frame. Might have to go see a couselor to get some perspective as it all seems to be hitting me now...I am glad you started this thread as it gave me an outlet anonomously to just say, Im ****ed up, im hurt, but im doing the best I can in this world, and not letting another mans downfall bring me down with him...... Thanks for that..

    thought I had a cerebral aneurysm (so did the ER doctor) Doc ordered a MRI & a spinal tap to see if there was blood in my spinal fluid.
    I had to sign a form stating that I was aware that there was 2% chance that I would be paralyzed from the procedure...I asked him if he had already hit his quota for the year yet!!!
    Anyways the part that made it so stressful/scary was that I was never taken to a private room. I was in like this mass examination room with just curtains in between myself and other patients on three sides of me.
    So these two guys start who bangin one from some local Mexican gang and the other from MS-13 the are on both sides of me.
    Meanwhile I am curled up in the fetal position with this pencil sized needle shoved in my spine as he is pulling spinal fluid out of my spine..(by the way it is extremely painful!!) telling me not to even breath except when he says to and suddenly the cops are there wrestling with the guy from MS-13.. I am freaking out just waiting for this to spill over into my little area that is so small that the doctor performing the spinal tap practically has his back to the curtain of the other "room" and bump him or me and BAM!! it over I would be paralyzed!!! Luckily the cops subdued him and I survived the procedure.
    But I don't ever want to have that done again...
    BTW it turned out to be a vertebrae in my neck that was pushing against my spinal nerves. Extremely painful and debilitating.
    Ended up being advised to have neck surgery but opted to take time off work and the gym to let it try and heal on its own.
    This was like 3 yrs ago and I still have constant pain and limited motion but even the specialist who was going to do the surgery told me it should be a last result if I cannot bear the pain because of how long and painful the recovery time is.
    I have limited movement and 24 hour pain still but the thought of neck surgery is not an option right now.

    You are saying that you were ordered to stand and watch this rape , no self respecting man or solider would stand for this , I would walk from the army before I would stand for that crap and every guy I served with would be the same , and the fvckers that we're doing this vile act would be taking out no question

    I'm assuming what Euro means is that the women were being sexually assaulted by local civilians and as a military force you are often time not allowed to get involve in any situation outside of your mission due to the backlash your actions could have on the relations.

    Now if what he means is that fellow soldiers were performing such acts...have at him lol.

    Yup i know your a fellow infantryman as well. Specific orders not to get involved with the affairs of the locals unless fired upon. I was 19 on my 1st deployment. Why we happy about it? No we weren't but thats what being a solider is all about. You just suck it up.

    We sure as **** did. I can feel my BP raising as I type this. I can't even count how many "men" I've beat because they thought less of their women than we do. I respect the culture if others but not to the extreme extent of some aspects of other's.

    I agree with you Marcus and as a leader in the military I can say you always have a choice. And I would die before I quit anything, even selection.

    I know how bad PTSD can be. At first I thought I just had to man up. After two divorces I finally realized I had a problem and started to correct it best I can. Talking about it is my best therapy so I want you men to know my inbox is always open.
