Living With Ptsd

We were all trained to push the limits of the human barrier. physically growing stronger. Mentally developing professionalism. Improvise, adapt and overcome. A war-torn country is the birth of a squaddie. The remembrance of the vast desert, the lush-us green zone. etched painful memories to the soldier's daily life. We stand together, tall and proud. We cry together. The heartless actions we carried out were not for revenge, not from anger. For the greater good of human life. At the setting of the sun. The dead lye at rest, the causalities patched up, the amputees are on prosthetics. But we all remain mentally scared

Now, this world is giving birth the pure assistant of death devil. Death Angel has no room for his mercy in matured death!

I have lived with ptsd for many years. People look at you as normal but cannot imagine the torment inside. God bless you.
