To be a soldier

I'm writing in order to extend a hand to other soldiers, vets and family of soldiers.

I recently got out of the army not long ago, and for the last 4 years i strongly identified myself as being a soldier. For a moment accept the idea, of a total and massive identity crisis.

These feeling quicklychanged to depression and a slight case of anxiety. My therapistbroke down my problems with me and i came down to a few basic questions.

What was there before the army, What did the army add. and lastly WHAT NOW.

After running down the list and working on my tad of PTSD - experience of war isnt so pretty- I found that i can keep going on. I can be strong!

I want you guys to know, regardless of what you went though that there is hope, dont let the sadness over take you. Use being a soldier to make you stronger!

If you need to talk you can find me (SoldierSam) and i will be glad to help you out
