You’re speaking directly to me. I am a veteran with PTSD. It was from sexual assault and the accompanying involuntary mental health lock up after I went to the doctor to seek help with my sleep.

I was told I could not claim the sexual assault because I would have been kicked out for sleeping with someone that was married and for being gay (this was before they repealed don’t ask don’t tell)…… I would have been court martial and thrown out they said.

Lucky for me I’m an infantry marine with a combat tour so my PTSD gets assumed to be combat and I don’t have to explain much to anyone. But fuck, how am I supposed to go and talk this out with doctors that I don’t trust? I don’t trust the system at all. I was let down by low command (squad), middle command(battalion command), and high command (regimental command). I was then failed by the nurse (corpsman), PCP (battalion doctor), psych (some fuckface colonel), his nurse (another corpsman), and the facilities personnel (nurses, doctors, psychiatrists).

And to compound on all this, I was involuntarily locked up when I was 14(??) because my parents let me get so fucked up that I blacked out and they called cops saying they didn’t know what was wrong with me……. What was wrong was that I was 14 and handed booze and pills…… the fuck did they expect?!? Obviously both times I ended up getting released but that doesn’t remove the inhumanity of it all. The treatment as if you are “other” to them. Like a dog or some shit.

So I’ve had trauma from psych wards from adolescence and also my time in the marines.

Sorry for the rant. Just triggered so much inside me with your comment.

I’m not gonna hate on anyone. I drink pickle juice by the glass. And I do love a cold glass of peperoncini juice….

“Why did you make me punch you?!? You could have e just gave me your wallet, but noooooo you had to refuse. And then I was forced to punch you in the mouth and take it. Omg then you called the cops? THE COPS?!? You know I hate the cops and won’t allow them in my neighborhood. So then I had to stab you in the neck. Because I hate cops, and you did this. It’s all your fault”

Ok big guy.
