The condition manifests differently in different individuals, as for myself I became extremely agitated & aggressive towards both locals whilst on deployment & towards other males back in Australia. It took me 5 years after discharging to seek assistance & get a diagnosis. The condition (for me at least) isn’t curable (manifests in nightmares, panic attacks, feelings of dread, anxiety etc) but is manageable with lifestyle change & assistance from Veterans groups, doctors etc. The attraction came from the desire to emulate family that came before me (WW1, WW2, Korea). As a young bloke who had a limited experience with anything close to this before joining I doubt much could have deterred me & I am very proud of my service to this day, in some ways “coming home” is the hardest part. But the young person doesn’t understand the implications of the effect on the subconscious, it’s only later you can fully grasp the effects on yourself personally. I’ll randomly remember something & feel a punch of realisation in my stomach (I won’t illustrate specifics but some things are quite disturbing). Most of the time it’s tiny snippets of detail (for me at least) & then when you see us collectively pull out without making any difference it stokes the fire again.

Cheers mate

Thanks mate, I’ll have a look into this👍🏼

Considering using Nostr as my vent, time will tell if it’s effective: I suffer from PTSD after 3 operational deployments (9-12 months each) as an Infantry Section Commander. I never talk about this anywhere else but fuckit, I’m going to talk about it here mainly because I’m fucking over attempting to find a good Psychologist. I narrowly escaped the largest VBIED detonated in Iraq outside Baghdad’s ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2009 amongst other numerous life altering situations both in Iraq & other AO’s that I may delve into in other posts. I know individuals who paid the price of wrong place, wrong time both with their lives & the ability to walk again. This is a part of the reason I want #bitcoin to succeed so much. The life changing exposure to a kinetic warlike environment needs to stop. It’s an adventure when your young, but it all comes back later. As long as we allow Govt to continue to manipulate the money supply the more young men are going to have the opportunity to “seek adventure” & have their’s & their families lives changed forever. Just for the record I’m Australian but worked closely with US, UK, NZ, German & Portuguese soldiers/ Police. Thanks for listening, I needed that 😕

Ffs! How the fuck do I stop my fucking feed resetting to the latest post every time I open this fucking site! Anybody? Fuck

Good talk, thanks bud🙄

My thoughts exactly, I stay away from anything public concerning Bitcoin. OPSEC

Hey Will, is there a way to stop my Damus timeline resetting when I open Nostr? Or is this the way it’s supposed to function? Cheers mate 👍🏼

Just blocked my first account on Nostr. I don’t like to block anybody, but waking up to extreme negativity isn’t the way I choose to start my day. Have a great day all, go get it😊

Gday Larry! Nice to have you aboard old son😃

Nite all, hope you all had/ are about to have a lovely day wherever you were/are in the world. Technology come so far in the last few years, still bows my 🤯 #bitcoin

Perth Australia 😂

I don’t go to the city much (bit of a weird place with weird people) but wife wanted to have a look & have some breakfast in a nice Cafe. Within 10 minutes of sitting down an elderly lady collapsed & I rendered assistance & ascertained she had suffered a mild stroke relaying this to emergency services & made her comfortable whilst waiting with her for Paramedics. After that we left the cafe to be confronted by a male who obviously has mental health issues screaming at me that there was a distinct lack of oxygen on his half of the escalator & warning us to not continue our ascent into the shopping centre because we may suffocate. We ignored these warnings & luckily we were able to breathe on the 2nd floor just fine. My wife was then served at the only store we entered by a woman of around 20 who had her tongue cut down the centre so each half moved independently & enough metal jewellery in her face that I couldn’t quite make out what her face tattoos consisted of. Anyway, that was my morning in the city, might give it another shot next year😳

Thanks mate, but I’ve sussed it with WOS👌🏼

I’m attempting to use Nostr (Damus) more than Twitter but being in Beta the UX still isn’t really there. Still learning & it’ll come in time

Welcome Lyn🙂

Is there a way to stop your personal timeline resetting to the latest follower post after exiting? For example halt where you left it so coming back in is a scroll up instead of down & trying to remember your last position? Cheers
