Sufferer Afg Veteran-tired Of Being Wonder Woman

[flanker]

I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2007 after my first tour in Afghanistan. I was really hard to accept and I was faced with a choice, either I ''get better'' or I would eventually be released. I got ''better''. Very few people know that I have PTSD as where I live your medical condition is only disclosed to your chain of command if it affect your job. I joined this group to exchange with people who like me, seem t olive a perfect life on the outside, but live a constant battle inside.

Welcome flanker! :cool:

You might find additional support on our "brother" website [DLMURL]http://mycombatptsd.com[/DLMURL]

That site is for veterans only and may provide more specific insight and support for you; although this site is great too!:tup:

Sincerely,
Dallas.

Thank you for your service Flanker. I'm so sorry the support is not there in the military and that PTSD is still such a taboo issue. I think that soldiers would be much healthier if the military and government would insist on treatment for PTSD instead of making it a punishment.
