I was a support person
my whole military career.
I wasn't deployed anywhere.
I wasn't, you know, in a battle zone.
I didn't have to deal with those things.
Like I saw, you know,
people I worked with,
family that went through it.
I saw that in them.
And I never equated to the stuff
that I went through with the harassment,
the verbal abuse, the MST, those things.
I didn't equate that to
PTSD because in my mind,
I always thought that people
that went actually to battle,
that went into a war zone.
And I knew I had never been there.
But it wasn't until I
realized what the symptoms
were for PTSD and I was checking off
every one of those boxes
and I'm like, well, that's me.
