Fuck yes. My whole first year home was bullshit. Two 13 month deployments in 3 years, both to helmund province (a complete shithole) will make anyone a little shaky.
didn't like being touched while asleep, a few bad dreams here and there, that kind of shit.
Talking about it was a little tough after my first deployment. I didn't really know how to deal with it and not look like a complete heartless asshole, or a huge pussy, or have people think I was either lying or bragging. After my second I was pretty much used to it to the point it became a job and I didn't give a fuck anymore. Turning back into a civilian is the hardest part, that transition is so fucked I can't even describe it. Anger/ depression/ frustration/ sadness/ all kinds of fucked up feelings all at once.
It's been 2 years in december and now I can talk about it openly if someone asks and really don't give a fuck what people think about it
