Hey TBI/PTSD Gather some non-classified pictures of where you have been deployed in the Marine Corp.,and show her the utter truth of what you've been through. Tell her that you live with these memories,and that they don't seem to go away,so you need some space.

Have her imagine being there,and having bullets flying by,and the Improvised Explosive Devises scattered all over the place. Tell her you need this (((Space))) desperately,or you will be on edge.

Can a pdoc send her a message that you need this comfort zone? BF
