https://stillinthedesert.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. Sometimes I wish I didn't know now, the things I didn't know then. - Poison, Something To Believe In. Like it's still a year ago- and then again, it doesn't at all, but yet it does. I obviously can't quite nail it down. I can. Don't need that would be useful if I ha...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. Don't be a dick. I need to wrap up the story of this month's rent- I talked about my landlord once already this week. And once last fall. Here's the rest of what happened. To call him at exactly. Ten minutes before 1300 to confirm. We're agreed on the amount I'm pay...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College: One year down. Oh, and FU.

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. One year down. Oh, and FU. This August, specifically the end of August, will mark a year since I was last homeless. It will mark the end of a year in which the goal was to stay stable for a year, keep doing what I was doing, have a stable place to live, etc. I've be...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. I'm (officially) looking for work. This time of year usually isn't much fun. It's cold out, it's usually gray, it's sometimes icky and even downright miserable some days. Desert Storm also happened this time of year, so there's a lot of "well, on this. I'd planned a...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. No one's listening anyway. The problem, change. Something so it doesn't happen again, fix the issue. We have a plan for dealing with broken people and you're not following it. Hate to break it to you, world of social work, all people are not the same, All veterans c...

https://stillinthedesert.blogspot.com/2015/07/communicating-with-veterans.html
STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. Enter my landlord, who I called early on Monday morning to set up an appointment. I need to sign a new apartment lease. Most people I know that live near campus signed leases for the next academic year months. This is what happened. That's not the message I want.

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. The VA is still my health care provider, though, mainly because I don't have. The staff person at the desk apologized ("someone was supposed. If you need one. Anyway, in the regular waiting room for a few minutes until person-who-can-write-scripts comes out to find ...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. You might need a fresh cup of coffee for this post. I needed coffee to write it. I'm reading Kent Beck's book, Extreme Programming Explained. PTSD likes being alone, suffering in silence. Hold the thought on pair programming for a moment. Challenge- this summer, is ...

STUCK IN THE SAND - PTSD and College. One Desert Storm veteran's journey through life after childhood and the Desert- trying to make it through college, PTSD, lack of sleep, studying, failure, success, homelessness, and all things in between. It's still hard to have a concept of "being home". Having a place to live still seems so fragile. You'd shut down too if you were dealing with being put out on the street by people who had promised to help you get back on your feet. I'm still pissed at Porchligh...
