When I was first told that there was a possibility
of me having PTSD, I was in a very strong denial because
my concept of people having PTSD was someone who
wasn't mentally stable.
And I sort of figured that a person of my background,
with being in leadership positions, both as a civilian
and military, and having a good college education,
I was not mentally unstable.
And I know that I had a anger issue.
I had problems with establishing relationships with people,
and the solution to me was to always drink a lot
to solve all my problems, dealing with people at my job
or dealing with things in the community.
And it wasn't until I went to the VA and they gave me
a new counselor, a therapist, who, I thank God for her
to this very day because she saved my life.
