I am a ex serviceman, I was made disabled by a freak accident,mInbroke my back in three places. Now dealing with PTSD I then had to learn to deal with civilains who show no respect to disabled wheelchair users, abuse on huge scale , threats, in general everything to test the most person who is very laid back.
I got a Assistance Dog he to has been hit with wire baskets with no apologies, once in a bank, a man who had a bad agurgment with a teller he turned round in anger and kick my dog in the head, deal with that
So tell me can you see why I cannot wait to die

Hi

I am sorry to hear of your situation and the unfair treatment that you have been receiving from others.

Symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks and can be often range from mild to severe leading to anxiety, panic attacks and major depression which are all normal responses following a major trauma. For more information about PTSD and its symptoms :
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con ... c-20355967

Are you currently in counseling for managing your symptoms of PTSD as well as the reality of living with a disability? I would advise to get in touch with the following organizations for help as soon as possible https://www.bacp.co.uk and if your feelings become any worse or unbearable to contact https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org and https://www.samaritans.org who will have trained people to give you the support that you need.

I hope the information is helpful and wishing you good luck.
