Ok I will talk. My wife left me for a 19 year old boy. I was happily married to her for 6 years, and now I only feel like she made the right choice. I drink constatnly to forget, but the I never do. I spent two years in Iraq. The best time of my life, but now nightmares plague me. I just want to hurt everyone and everything. I dont know how to fix this
Oh, you poor thing. I don’t know how either. If you mean nightmares literally, seeing a doctor might be a good idea. How long has it been since she left you?
almost 7 months. I thought I would have been over it already, but I miss her more and more every day. She made feel safe, and now I only feel fear. Seeing a doctor is out of the question. Doctors cant help Marines for the most part we are just too stubborn
Sir, you are a Marine. Get yourself to the VA. My wife of twenty years left me for my best friend of over twenty years…it is a fucking nightmare. Go to the VA and tell em’ that you want to talk with a doctor. No one should have to go through what you are going through alone, especially one that has served!
Mr. Johnson, I was never a marine, but I did serve in the 101st during “desert storm”, I know what the hardcore gung-ho, high speed low drag mentality is about. Drop it. Go to the VA and see a doctor, if only to get some meds to calm you down.
Im not gung ho. My high speed low drag days are over. Its just me. I cant open up to a counselor or doctor. I have even tried. With everything in my being I dont trust them. I spend most of my nights self medicating, and wishing that I could just have someone to hold me again, but I am too scared to trust anyone to get that close. I dont understand. I tried to do the right thing always. Why is this happening? I just need another drink

You can tell me about it if you want?
Would you like to talk? Im always here and willing to listen
I just dont know what to do anymore. The tears cloud my judgement and blur my vision, and I need to stop it.
I know what that is like, some times i think its a miracle i even make it through the day
You can talk to me if you want
My day was good though, and then suddenly I broke. Why??? I dont understand. Why is this happening to me. I just wanted to lead a healthy life
Talk for a while. It might let some of it out, or at least be a distraction. We all know how it feels.

That makes sense. Over the counter sleeping pills could help. Just… be nice to yourself, whatever you do. 🙂
