Ssome common strategies that may help include talking to a therapist or counselor, participating in PTSD therapy groups, and using relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation.

There are many resources available for veterans struggling with PTSD, including counseling, support groups, and medication. Therapy is another option, one that a lot of people feel embarrassed to admit they need. Always be honest with your feelings so others know how to help you.

I know some veterans who find that exercise or meditation helps them cope, while others may turn to alcohol or drugs to self-medicate. The most important thing is to do what works for you and to reach out for help if you need it.

There is no one answer for how to deal with PTSD from deployment. Some people find talking about their experiences helpful, while others may prefer to keep to themselves. I know a guy who was in the Vietnam war and he hardly every speaks, he is too traumatized from everything.

The best way is to attend therapy, it is something that is available in any body of the armed forces and it is free, it will help you a lot.

The first thing is to properly recognize that you have a fear of a trauma problem, then take into account that when requesting psychological assistance your future deployments may be compromised, and finally, you must continue the treatment and attend appointments with therapists, psychologists, or psychiatrists.

Previously, not enough attention was paid to this issue, but the best way to deal with this is by talking. I don't know anyone who handles it well alone and I have to say that I know many colleagues who still have sequelae but don't tell anyone so as not to miss out on displays

PTSD is a serious problem and there is no doubt that the best way to work on it is by taking the recommended measures and telling someone from your superiors, they will surely understand you, then follow everything step by step, being an active military is important but it is useless an active military man without adequate mental capacity.

Having post-traumatic stress after deployment is the most common thing that can happen to you in the force, so it's not something to worry about, but it is something that needs a quick solution and I work to treat it, that is, I think you never heal from it. that but you learn to control it and live with it, after my therapy and everything I dedicated myself to practicing soccer, and now I teach it at my son's school.

Has anyone tried not putting fertility related treatments through insurance and just going straight to OOP? Am wondering if that would be less expensive since I’ve been told that doctors and insurance companies mutually set the rates when things get processed through insurance.I’m at the beginning of this journey and already drowning in bills. It seems that even visits to the OBGYN to discuss test results related to fertility are not covered, let alone the tests and ovulation induction meds :(
