I wrote here about milblogger American Soldier, who is home from the war in Iraq after being twice wounded by an IED.
He’s having a tough time of his recovery. He starts this post by asking, “Where does one begin to recoup from a war?”
I cannot put it all into words. I am having trouble with normalcy…
…I am 7000 miles away from the war and I have fears of something that will not happen. My mind seems to think otherwise. I keep looking for that IED on the side of the road. I hear noises and I get the rush of adrenaline. Crowded areas get me anxious and I can’t be close to people. I don’t want people to come near me. I know that if I get angry that I might kick it up a notch so I avoid ALL conflicts as much as possible.
Hang tough, brother. There are countless people covering your six for you now, and there are a lot of people who can help you get through this.
Stop by and offer him some kind words. Like, “Thank you.”
