This is an excerpt from a novel I am in progress of writing about PTSD. Review?8 Years Ago
It is like a flood. It comes pouring down when you least
expect it. Like one of the worst floods in the history of everything.
Everything gets submerged in water. Damaged. Only this isn’t the kind of flood
regular people are used to experiencing. This is a flood of memories,
nightmares even, that you cannot stop. They just flood into your sacred place
of solitude, where you are supposed to be the safest. No matter what you do,
how hard you try, you just can’t get the ringing out of your head. The visions
of bloodshed and loss are just too much to bear.
I live in agony every day. There are no exits,
no pause button, nothing to stop the pain I feel. Everything I used to get
enjoyment from are now things I have no desire for. All I see is grey. There is
no color in the world I live in. Only grey. The slightest sound sets me off and
triggers the memories. Some look at me with admiration and pride. Sure, I have
medals some would love to have. My family is proud of me. Why is it that I am
not even proud of myself? And then I remember how I got here. How I got to this
place of sickness. The day I can never get out of my head. The day everything
changed.
