The thought of talking about what goes on in my head in anything but the most general terms in the public square takes me way out of my comfort zone.

And if you’re a vet, or an EMT, or a cop, or firefighter and you’re reading this, I want you to know that you can’t put the curtain back, but it’s possible to build ways to move forward, to find alternatives to the rush of crisis. There are ways you can matter. There is a way to rejoin the dust of the world, to find your own space on the dance floor.What PTSD is | Via Myke Cole and @dmoren
