Do I have the 100 years stare?

I really apologize for comparing myself to Vietnam Veterans and everything you've been through. But I'm wondering if I have the 100 yard stare. My mother is mentally ill and my father senile. I couldn't take it anymore and I walked over 20 miles to the homeless shelter. So I stayed at this shelter called the bridge. I was sitting down getting ready to nod off when I experienced this strange feeling. My eyes became wider than they have ever been in my entire life I started starring or looking straight ahead. I wasn't looking at a particular thing I was just starring straight ahead and everything was very fuzzy. Maybe I was dreaming and I woke up 20 seconds later. Anyway I came back home to a somewhat safe environment and I've noticed I started acting strange. I feel like I can endure any amount of pain and survive, I'm ready to jump up and move at any moment, I have absolutely no sex drive and I'm extremly friendly. The friendly part is strange because I was friendly at the homeless shelter because of survival and I'm acting the same way here. Anyway I'm really sorry for comparing myself to what you guys went through.

Sorry. I didn't have much to go on..so I took the worst case scenario. I'll try and answer your question to the best of my ability as a "doc" (combat corpsman).
Many of the posters on this forum understand what the "1K Stare" means to them. It can mean different things to different folks, but it is usually a "flashback" to times past, and may be an unpleasant experience.
However, what you've experienced, as written in your initial posting are things that should not be happening. I can't even garner an educated guess, except that what caused them to occur may be symptoms of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.
Hope I helped. Joe
My username is Kid86. So that means I'm 22 years old. I think a Vietnam veteran is too old to walk 27 miles in a single day. Well thanks about asking on a forum bit. If I really want to know I can visit a Veteran's hospital.
Hey now, I am a VN vet and I can walk thru the woods all day long and I am short, fat and bald.

Oh I thought maybe you were a former F-86 Pilot or something. Please tell us more about yourself and your problems... maybe someone here can help. or at least give you more words of advice.
