have you ever gone up a flight of steps and then think "Why am I going up here?" and then it occours to you that you're holding up all the pther passengers that are trying to get on the plane?

Answer 2

good friend of mine got his release from the Corp about 10 months ago I think. He did 5 years, 3 deployments to Iraq in infantry unit. he has been getting help for PTSD and got his paperwork through on it. he said it was a long process but in the end he is doing much better. I guess there is a certain amount grieving you have to do. You friend isn't coming back and there isn't a person in the world that wouldn't be touched by your story. but it is not over! you are alive... it may seem weird but the best way to honor your friend that died with you there is to live your life. don't feel guilty that you made it and he didn't. don't feel guilty because you didn't put that landmine there. it's impossible to pay attention to everything all the time and i can imagine that being on a patrol of course you could be facing a different direction... be strong and imagine yourself having a happy life, the kind you always wanted. your buddy would want you to have that. when you feel you are ready, i'm sure his family would really like to see you... they must be in so much pain too. I think if you are going to be able to find some closure and breathe easy and sleep well that you should focus on yourself. get yourself better. You know how they say in an airplane that if there is an emergency to put your mask on first before helping others.. that's because you can't help others if you aren't helped first yourself. do whatever you need to do to help yourself, you f*ck1ng deserve it. If I knew where you were I'd give you a hug man. don't be ashamed ever.. you've done a great thing and you are involved in something really important in our history. you need to get in touch with the pride you should feel for all the things you've been successful with. on the PTSD thing-- i think it is pretty ridiculous to say you can only get it if you got shot. if that is really what they told you then it is just plain wrong. any stressful event can trigger it. i myself watched the twin towers collapse with my own eyes. i still am not fully recovered from that event and i wasn't hurt at all. it took years for me to learn how to deal with the pain and trauma but i am much better now. you too will learn how to manage the pain and how to better deal with the thoughts that will pop up in your dreams or whenever. Get a good doctor, even if you have to go off base for one. you have a right to seek a second opinion and you have a right to get treatment. private message me if you need my phone # and u want to talk. don't know what i could tell you other than i'll be your friend. I'm on West coast time. hang in there. we need good people in the world and all the suffering you are enduring is because you are a good person.

Answer 3

Only once, the mid air back flip wasn't a successful move - so now, I make sure I'm certain before I jump

Answer 4

All the time. I often go out for a pasty for lunch, jump down steps, then buy a sandwich instead,

Uncanny!

No, that would be a truly stupid thing to do, I could end up with a broken leg or even worse a broken neck and that would be very painful and I don't particularly like pain. !! xx
