It's hard for me to say
how it affected me
with the immediacy
of being in Afghanistan.
I knew that I didn't feel well
in Afghanistan.
I knew that I was struggling,
especially the last three months
of my tour, because I just
had that knowledge background
that something wasn't right.
But once I returned
to the United States and was
seeking more intensive help
for where I was at coming back
from being deployed,
I was able to identify
that that disconnect between
having been over there,
seeing and witnessing
people that were injured,
knowing that I couldn't
assist them.
Was a disconnect
between my internal core values
and the expectations
placed on me within service.
