Ok friends and neighbors, I've finally broken down and decided to write a blog. Over the next little bit I will be telling you who I am, how I came to be and some things that most of you won't want to hear. This blog will primarily be based on my experience as a Female Soldier who lives with PTSD.
There are so many of us and not often will you see a female talk about what it is to live with PTSD. Unfortunately, we are still viewed as "the weaker sex", even in the Armed Forces. We still fight to be equal to our male counterparts. Thankfully, I am no longer active duty and can freely speak about things.
Things like, anger, stress, inability to sleep, the effect PTSD has on my body, mind and heart, the feelings of not being thought of as a Veteran, even though I have the paperwork and scars to prove it.
This blogging thing is new to me so hang in there and watch what happens.
