PTSD The Battle of Wounded Soul

Nose spray after death, bombs and bullets? Ya sure that'll work! but this is nothing new considering they have been trying all kinds of stupid stuff that hasn't worked in the last 40 years but they just keep repeating it. It's kind of like using dishwashing soap on your hair. Sure it will get it clean but it may leave you bald.

Sorry to be sarcastic but after all these years you'd think they would have figured out the strength of soldiers' minds is not the problem. It is the reason. Emotions live in the mind. It is because your emotions are so strong, you suffer after. On the flip side, the good emotions you haven't felt in a long time are just as strong as always but you've been consumed with the pain and may not have understood what you can do.

You just feel it all more. Much like many Medal of Honor Heroes have PTSD, it has nothing to do with lack of courage or being weak on anything. As for forgetting anything, you should never try to. You should seek to make peace with it instead.

Don't believe me? Would you believe MOH Vietnam Hero Sammy Davis? We sat down a couple of years ago and he has a message for you.


PTSD actually means after wound. Trauma is Greek for wound. It isn't a battle for your body, although your body does pay a price, that doesn't start with your body. It is what your mind does to your nerves. It is a battle of a wounded soul. It is what humans live with, heal from and change again. It is a part of you but doesn't have to defeat you. They need to start learning what it is before they actually do something to "cure" it.
