I am a vietnam Vet. Army 11B, I walked around vietnam to draw emeny fire. I have received SSD for PTSD and I am rated 100% for PTSD by the VA. The VA therapist stated I had problems before I went in the service. Basic and AIT added to my problems and vietnam finished me off. I did not tell the VA before my 100% rating but tests had indicated a personalty problem but PTSD can cause or make a personalty problem worse. The VA is treating me for gender related problems such as CD, TG, and TS. The VA has tied my ED to my PTSD and PTSD to my GID. They currently have me on HRT.
PTSD never goes away. One has to learn to live with it.
Maybe changing who I am will help.
