What you learn can save your life and the lives of those you serve alongside.
Unfortunately, I have had to deal with negative circumstances because of my Army service because of PTSD, TBI, neck and back injuries. I have gone through PTSD testing, have been diagnosed as having PTSD, and was able to identify what it was and how I got it. I don't see it as a weakness. I just see it as a traumatic experience that I went through and something that I have to deal with every day. I have been denied assistance for my disabilities from both the VA and Veteran sources but all I have tried made me worse or didn't help. I don't view my PTSD as a weakness. I view it as secondary to my life and what I have to cope with every day. I have received treatment for my PTSD, TBI, neck and back injuries. Being in Iraq and being blown up and shot at, and falling off a tangled vehicle is what caused my injuries. I did receive treatment but it did not help...some of the medications help me cope with my daily life but not with my symptoms.
