I practice yoga - it keeps me centered and I also train in mixed martial arts - it gives me my violence outlet. I don't fight, the infantry wore out my body too much for that, but the training is awesome.
My problem is, I'm also hypomanic, so when you mix that with ptsd from combat, it makes me feel like the baddest m$&#%*rf$&@%#r in the valley. I feel like the smartest, baddest, sexiest most intelligent man around. I've never been as confident as I am right now.
It's scary. Almost lost my marriage due to my inability to be good around women (which I have never had a problem with, for the record)... It's worse for my wife, no doubt.
