i am a psychaitrists worst nightmare
i went awol for a day this week and i didnt even get in trouble for it. there is a kicker though. i checked myself into the psych ward at the post hospital, telling them i was having a nervous breakdown. now theyve got me on chemical restraints. the doctor said he didnt want to diagnose me with "post-traumatic stress disorder" just yet. i didnt even bring it up.
"were you exposed to dead bodies?"
"have you ever been shot at?"
"have you ever seen someone being killed in action?"
"have you ever fired your weapon in combat?"
"have you ever been involved in a roadside bomb attack?"
the hardest one to answer is"why now?....why is all this arising right now and not when you first came back?"
stress....i cant handle it anymore sir......
i definitely had a lot of explaining to do. i think hes understanding where im coming from.
i also have physical therapy for my wrists this friday because theyre fucked up and its definitely a chronic thing.
"holding a rifle and doing push ups are excruciating tasks for me sir" its all in how you present it....always make it hurt as much as humanly possible before you go in. worst case scenarios and hurt scale 10 out of 10...thats the only thing that puts up the red flag.
i think i might be "non-deployable" and worthless to the army now...........hopefully anyway
