You don't sound retarded, you sound traumatized. I honestly had to stop drinking as it made everything much worse for me.I do realize this post was last year but I needed to write you. That’s super brave and actually very mature! Go for nature walks and eat good. It’s time you focus on you and enjoying life not living in the past and let me tell you I get it! Therapy is tough and you’ll cry a lot but it’s a good thing to get it all out like you did in your post. You said you wanted to be tough guy by joining USMC but you are tough! (Thank you for your service) but look Your still here!! You realize what you’ve been put through but remember that’s not you or who YOU are!! Past behavior doesn’t define future behavior so remember that. If you see a counselor and you don’t click as for a different one. You will need to call the number on the back of your insurance card and find a good counselor and psychiatrist. Your stronger than you realize and certainly don’t sound like a retard. Hi Johnny, I’m so very sorry for all that trauma you’ve had to endure.
