I was 23 when I joined the service and I was deployed to Afghanistan as a sniper team leader. I stopped serving because my contract was over and I didn't want to reup my service. It was getting too political for me. I have a phone meeting today with my case manager for therapy. We are going to really dive in and adjust my treatment plan to help try to regulate my mind the best we can.

I want to add that me and my wife ended up having sex last night. I don't know if it was built up emotions or what. We both kinda woke up in the middle of the night and it just happened. I'm not sure how it is going to effect her and her progress. But I'm trying not to let it get my hopes up and just look at it as it was a release for the both of us.

I appreciate you helping me try to process this all. I'm trying to stay positive and strong so that I stay on track to recovery the best I can.
