These times bring up too much anxiety because of the unfamiliar surroundings. I try to stay out of everyone's way, but now my girlfriend is mad at me. I took a nap to calm down. That is what pissed her off. PTSD cost me my first marriage and my children and it seems I am on the same path again. No one gets us and no one ever will. Nothing I can do but prepare for life alone which isn't too bad.

My wife grew up in a refugee camp while her family starved. She and I have PTSD in common and are isolated almost all of the time. After 54 years of marriage I think we have the knack of it. Neither of us likes others, maybe that is the key

Unfortunately, you must be either currently serving or retired to use these. There are a few open to veterans, but most are not. Here is a list of campgrounds.

SSG Edward Tilton - not everyone, you have VETS too who are not privy to on base goodies. But thats ok State Parks, and national parks are great too and especially when you look for the off season ones

At 62 my wife understands my PTSD and she knows that when we are able to afford a Vacation which is few and far between, they are in areas that do not trigger anything for me. She is also not one for big crowds so it works out great. vacant beaches, mountains, forests. Lots of nature and not a lot of people.
