Robertmizek, thank you for your reply and suggestion. I too have spoken to professional counselors in my past. Having been assessed with PTSD I looked for help from an organization that's job is to provide help for veterans. All I wanted was the help to get thru that challenge. They asset me, two psychologists and one professional combat licensed counselor all assessed me with PTSD. To get approved after all these "someone professionally" folks, I had to be evaluated by a non-organizational evaluator. That person said I can see you have PTSD, but cannot tell if it was related to my service. REALLY! I said after all the deployments and things that I/we (I was not the only veteran turned down during this period) all went thru, you cannot tell if it was related? I appealed the decision with every four-letter word there was. Wrong way to do it, but I was pissed. I got a letter from this organization saying because of the way I submitted it; they were going to deny the appeal. I saw the psychologist again and she was not happy and said I was not the only one turned down during this period. She added it was like filing a claim with an insurance company, they will turn down your 1st claim to save money.
The way I handled my appeal gave them a reason to reject me from their help. It was all about money. I never went back to them again but changed my entire degree to psychology to learn how to get myself thru this challenge. After I was done, I went back and worked in a combat counseling center to help others learn to manage their PTSD. After us learning the ways to battle political challenges this group of combat centers across the country made this organization change its ways and now, they provide veterans with the help they need in a more compassionate way. So, sir, respectfully you can disagree with me, but the " medical community is dispassionate" still. I have encountered this with this new PC challenge. I am sure there are many fantastic teams out there, but I still look thru this dark filter from my past and still see some broken systems in my present journey. Seeing professional counseling is fantastic and highly recommended for those in need. As in your recommendation. But seeing the truth, "be it my truth" in some of our broken systems is just so disappointing and I admit makes me falter on managing my own challenges. I am tired of battling and battling this new PC challenge has just worn me down. It is not giving up but surrendering. Different from quitting. In this Surrendering, it is to the help that is greater than our ignorant, uncompassionate for many, broken health systems. This help is within me and all of us, and when we can disconnect from the things we depend on outside the power within, we can achieve far greater things. What is this help within, God! I am one that likes to battle the darker challenges in my life, as many m others may do on my own. But we get worn down. This power within, God makes all possibilities possible with faith, hope, and love. I misplace this realization a lot. This dark filter I look thru seems to hide this powerful help within. I have to learn to take this filter off to see this help within more often, if not always. This is the counseling that I seek now. Not of some of the people in our broken systems. So, again thank you robertmizek/sir for your advice. God bless.
