It was just difficult. I didn't want to admit that something had troubled me. I was doing my 20s. I was invincible. Three tours in Iraq, you know, coming out on the other end, fearless. But those experiences do come and they catch up with you. I'm way to Spain. I served four years in the United States Marine Corps. I did three tours in Iraq. Then I got out in August 2005. For many years, I battled with accepting that I suffered from PTSD. But the biggest challenge for me was knowing that there's nothing broken inside of me. It's just what has happened to me. It's a stigma associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, a disorder part. For me, it should be post-traumatic growth because we can all grow from these experiences in an excelling life and have enjoyed good life from it. And finally, a few years back, I broke down and decided to get some help and treatment. It was the best decision I ever made for my mental health as well as my well-being. DIVs was helping me with a vocational rehabilitation program. I find a job that's not just a job, but a rewarding career. I like working on my car with a fellow veterans. It gets me going. It's nice. It's a bonding experience. Being able to take the car on a nice windy road and enjoy a nice sunny day is nothing better. I'm a veteran. PTSD is not a weakness. My victory is viewing it as post-traumatic growth.
