Transparency: Just to show that I am vulnerable and still living with PTS(D), Ill explain part of my day to The Warfighter Outreach Network family. Today, started out with a trip to the VA. Cut and dry, no problem. The VA has really helped me as of late. Then ran into an issue with my vehicle which angered me and put me in a state of aggression and instability. I made the mistake of walking into a Walmart during this time. Bad move. I paid for my purchases and realized that I had dodged a bullet by not speaking my mind to the other shoppers. Then I came home to some unresolved maintenance issues which sent me to the managers office. Fortunately they were out to lunch. Dodged another bullet. I say this to offer some insight into the life of one of the admins of this page. I am not perfect. I am not cured of PTS(D). I am not walking around with rainbows and unicorns singing koombyah. I am a human being with real-life issues. So what did I do you ask? I reached out to a partner in the Network and had a candid conversation in which, I was given solid advice that only another combat veteran or peer supporter could offer. I established this network for others, but in my time of need Im proud that The Warfighter Outreach Network was available to me also. I love you all and stay in the fight. -RP1
