Probably.
The key for all returning Vets is getting that 'welcome home' and being able to talk about their experiences. Find another Vet and talk about it. Don't go into it with close family/friends, they will not understand and may be frightened.
PTSD is preventable. I could go into more psycho-babble, PM me if interested.
They'll be frightened if you don't talk to them about it, and some close family and friends are more open and understanding than you think. Especially if one or more of them is also a veteran.
Oh, I'm fine. But thanks for your kindness. I'm a civilian contractor, but I've seen plenty of mortar and rocket attacks. I just take it all in stride now.
I'm not patrolling Fallujah or anything like this guy was doing.
I'm going home for the first time in a year in December. I'm just looking forward to living some of my normal life for a little over three weeks.
Then I'll come back here.
