Sam, you may already realize this, but you've got a ton of friends here and we all would be happy to help, however we can.I made it through the night. Took a fistful of Zoloft and a glass of bourbon I could feel the pills kick in about 0200 and the anxiety subsided, but an unfortunate side effect of them is they turbocharge my brain, making it feel like a pachinko machine of thoughts. Ergo, I am running on zero sleep in two days.
A member pm'ed me asking what goes on during these attacks. I'll post later after I've had some coffee and get my shit together. Maybe my experience will help someone else.
But thank you guys for being the cavalry. I have five good friends but the nearest is 2000 miles away. I've seen y'all come together for others and you didn't disappoint here.

I am in Cheyenne, 2 hours north. When you get over the hump. Let’s have a meet up with guys in Denver. I’ve always wanted to. Lots of great men around.
I’ll get something set up for after the first of the year.in!
Regardless prayers sent...
The brain thing is a 1-time issue from eating the Zoloft like Tic-Tacs. My primary concern was getting the anxiety turned down.Hey,
Start slowly getting off stuff like coffee for a while and if you need to sleep use melatonin as it is natural and won't fuck you up.
If your brain is running a million miles a minute, coffee won't help you.
Just take a while to slowly get your body chill and happy as much as possible. This will help you a whole bunch.
Same here. Need to do some shooting soonThanks for meeting up and chatting. It was great to get to put a face to the screen name.

He can't go near that shit with a clearance! Quickest way to loose it.Op, this isn’t about an immediate need. This is about a type of therapy that is working and it’s working well for lots of people suffering from a range of mental health problems. I know it seems like a bunch of Colorado hippy-dippy bullshit but don’t laugh it off

Depending on how much he takes, the effects wear off in a few hours and it doesn’t show up on a drug test. So unless he’s dumb about social media and/or accidentally tells someone he should be okHe can't go near that shit with a clearance! Quickest way to loose it.

When are where did you serve? There are plenty of us who might have either chewed some of the same piece of ground or been in the same theater at the same time.
I would suggest you relax on the drinking if your taking pills. The alcohol will screw up your sleep more and compound the problem.
I was command directed to see mental health for anger/hostility issues. It didn't effect my clearance.

Tom Spooner talks about a treatment for this. It's a nerve in your neck that gets triggered in combat and stays inflamed. It won't relax. They can give it a shot of something that calms it and it mellows a person out. Eliminates the fast, sudden, over the top anger.
A nerve?!?!? Shit I never would have thought that.Tom Spooner talks about a treatment for this. It's a nerve in your neck that gets triggered in combat and stays inflamed. It won't relax.

How long does the shot last?

Wait, can injuries cause/magnify(for lack of a better word) the same sort of issues?I'm going to fuck it up, but if I remember the briefing correctly it runs up into your brain. It gets blown up and inflamed during the event that originates PTSD. It can be calmed down with this treatment and mellows a person out. It was one of the big things that helped Tom get off all the meds. It can become inflamed again in another incident but the treatment can be repeated.
Hope you get some rest tonight. Call warriors heart in the morning. It's free. It's non-attributal. It can't hurt.

You played in the air, that's awesome. Always wished I could fly. I played in the dirt with a RSTA later a Cav Squadron in the 506th, I was Infantry. I have a couple of pilot friends that have jacked up backs, something about the loading or oscillations doing weird stuff.152GE and 152DG
The back thing came from the hi freq vibrations from the tail rotor gearbox. The 58D was a converted 58A/C model that weighed about a ton. The D model got pushed to ~5000 lbs with accompanying upgrades in the power train. The seats in those bastards were basically 3/4" plywood with a slight covering of shitty foam that absorbed somewhere about 0% of the vibrationsYou played in the air, that's awesome.

I still remember going to SERE at Rucker. That was a fun time I am glad I don't have to repeat but it was the best school I have ever been to.
I used to have a contact with a neurosurgeon that was doing some research on TBI's. He is a really cool guy, I sadly lost contact with him.Based on the physiology, very likely, especially a TBI.
That is so cool! Totally jealous. I had a friend that I used to ride motorcycles with that was an Apache Instructor Pilot.The back thing came from the hi freq vibrations from the tail rotor gearbox.

Any chance anyone has a link to this, where I actually CAN watch this? I'm asking from the Soviet Socialist Republic of Canada.
