So glad I found this forum
Not all veterans qualify.
Iāll never be happy with who I am until Iāve reached a point in my life where I can see my life being as close to normal as possible.

You have to be psychiatrically disabled. And you have to be found to be newly psychiatrically disabled WHILE SERVING in the military in order to qualify.
You could be waiting forever. Practice acceptance NOW.
Not at all. I discovered a little late in life that we are what we do and have done but, I, at the very least, keep a positive outlook on life because I really donāt think it will ever end only because it is going to take forever for me to really grasp and put into practice those disciplines needed for a healthy physical and mental maintenance.

talking from the point of being glad of the person I became from living and loving a schizophrenic personā¦ having informed myself about the sickness and working on myself in regard to patience, determination, follow through, empathy ā¦yesā¦ I am glad to love my schizophrenic loved oneā¦it changed me for the better and experiencing all these changes made me stronger and having more self worthā¦what more can a human ā¦provideā¦unconditional love is what it takes to be at peace and being able to overcome unforeseen hurdles to masterā¦
having learned from reading various topics on this page and also having good contact with our psychiatrist and having a loved one who understands and has accepted his sickness and following all rules also makes it easier to deal with his shortcomingsā¦( I do not want to call shortcomingsā¦prefer the term of adjustment on both partsā¦ fitting better) and hence offers a positive attitude and having mastered such is easier to deal with unforseen demons at timesā¦
Bare with my clumsy way of expressingā¦english is not my first languageā¦main thing i want to get across ideas, experiences etcā¦to help whoever lends an ear.
Having said all thisā¦looking forward to share with me whatever is on your mind as it helps every one and believe me we all need such to grow and feel complete and at easeā¦
Thanks for listeningā¦
P.s. living in a small village in Austria and having no possibility to join a support group I very much rely on all of your advices, sharing experiences etcā¦and want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for having opened self and sharedā¦together we can be strong and lend support to each other to ease struggles at times we all come across. ā¦
