My theory about Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder

[J.D SilvernailParticipant 383]

My theory about PTSD is that it is caused by going into combat, seeing people die, seeing blood and guts, and being mentally unprepared to see everything i just mentioned. The human mind isnt used to seeing people die or getting shot at. I believe that PTSD is an avoidable mental illness. The way i am trying to avoid it is to become immune to it which is my experiment that im using on myself(i dont know for sure if this will work yet). The way it works is i go to bing, turn off safe search, watch videos of people getting shot and stabbed months or years before i go to combat(i havent been to combat or joined the military yet by the way). The first few times i watched the videos i felt like vomiting, but after watching about three videos i wasnt bothered by it anymore.Im planing to join the U.S Military and I hope this helps other people who want to join the U.S Military to prevent themselves from getting PTSD. If anyone looking at this Topic has PTSD well i dont have any theories about how to cure it ,but i heard that it helps to talk about it.

It is one thing to sit there and watch it on TV and the computer, it is VERY different in real life, not to mention it isn’t just from combat, any sudden stressful situation can cause it. Picture yourself in full battle rattle, taking fire from two directions, total chaos all around and your buddy near you takes a hit and is bleeding copiously, blood and meat hanging everywhere and YOU have to preform first aid and patch him up with a s~~~storm going on all around you. Until you are actually in it you will not know how you will react. Not to mention the more s~~~ you go through the worse it gets.

ThunderFoot has a video about PTSD. JD you are a man and a human being. Not a beast of burden to be used up as cannon fodder for this gynocentric society that cares nothing about you.

PTSD can be initiated by a single event that overloads the human mind with fear and horror combined. It’s not just combat related, men in prison also suffer from it’s ill effects. The stress of always having more time added to your sentience for “things” you would not otherwise do, or comprehend doing.

In prison it’s literally dog eat dog, and sometimes a preemptive strike is necessary to prevent being raped or beaten by a rival gang. That kind of environment (always looking out for real threats) produces untold stresses on the human mind and can develop into psychotic and sociopath behavior.

Prisons and inhumane confinement has destroyed multitudes of men. Some just awaiting trial have been (under threat of retaliation) cohered into attacking and killing for the sake of self preservation, and then having to spend the rest of their life in prison.

I’d rather take my chances in combat with bullets singing by my head, artillery shells exploding all around me, than to  try my chances being raped, stabbed, beaten, or otherwise suffering a violent death in a maximum security prison…….

The battlefield is a vacation land compared to life a maximum security in prison….

Sure it will help to some extent, but our brain can distinguish between “virtual” violence/danger and real ones that are in front of you. Watching videos can be a good exercise for your subconscious and conscious mind since they didn’t have that experience, also the impact might not be so devastating. Although I don’t think it makes you immune to PTSD.

Your theory is interesting and, in a way, it has always been a part of basic training.  You’re training will make you to tired to deal with emotions and your body will be put on auto mode, just the way they want it.  No one can tell how you’ll deal once you see the s~~~ combat brings but training will ensure you act the way you need to, its the aftermath that f~~~s you.  If watching gruesome s~~~ got the mind ready to deal, the military would have addressed the issue ages ago.  If I was you, if you already haven’t, I’d shop around every military branch to get the best non combat position I can get my hands on.  You’re eagerly entering a position that is intended to have you  kill, be killed, maimed, or damaged. In the likely hood you only end up f~~~ed up ( in the mind or body) you will have to deal with a lifetime of paperwork to get what you deserve.  Do you know how long it took to get ptsd to be recognized as an issue?  Please for the love of god, if you can be in a non combat role do it! Do not let some sick infantilization of masculinity drive you away from a safer position.  I say this out of experience, I had a number of opportunities and the intellect to do anything else.  I always said, I want action, I don’t want any one thinking I’m a pussy, those communication guys aren’t real men like me, navy scum play it safe, etc.  I said whatever I needed to justfiy why I got paid the same as the guy sitting on an aircraft carrier playing wow and texting his gf.
