So I've recently been looking into joining the British Army and I think it's something that was absolutely made for me. I love physical challenges, I can lead, take the initiative and work hard when things are tough... only problem is, I have PTSD from a sexually abusive relationship 3 years ago.
Has anyone else experienced this absolutely gutting feeling, realising you are in fact limited in things you once would have excelled at because of an experience somebody else caused? I realise I am probably 99.9% without a chance in hell of ever getting into the army now that I have been diagnosed and take anti-depressants but if there is anybody out there with some good or inspirational stories which might give me a bit of hope, I'd really love to hear them.
I looked on the British Army blogs and people have asked similar questions and have almost been laughed at by people responding saying it's a completely ludicrous idea and I really don't want the same on here - suppose it would just be nice to know I'm not alone..!
