"For the first year, once a week I would wake up in the middle of the night in that puddle of sweat and I was back. But as time went on, not because I told the story a million times but because I was willing to, it became easy for me... a lot of the bad stuff starts to become less important." USAF Lt Col (R), Former POW Jeff Tice

I live with PTSD everyday of my life. It's hard. I haven't been able to talk to anyone except my therapist about it and that wasn't until I admitted to myself that I did have a problem. I am now on medication. I try to take it everyday but there are days I forget or I just don't because of doubts that it actually helping. I have insomnia, or wake up sweating with bad dreams. I hardly leave my house. I know that I am not the only one who suffers with this. Is, or will there ever be, a true cure? The answer is still to be determined, I guess...

Having PTSD as well as other mental and physical health issues due to combat related experiences, I would say Rally Point has helped me network with other like minded Veterans and Soldiers.
