This story isn't over after all.

When I stopped writing in this journal, I figured that this part of my story was over. I knew that there would be new trials to face as I waited for my discharge and an epic journey through the bowels of the veterans administration as I sought my disability claim; still, I figured Baghdad was behind me and so I moved on to my mundane journal.

Hey, Trueman,

Sending good thoughts and strong thoughts your way...

Sounds like you've done lots of good thinking around this issue / experience. Keep taking care of yourself; know there are lots of people who love you.

I know what it's like to be sleepless; it makes everything else worse, worse, worse. Emotions become unstable and you feel as if you might cry. Your fuse gets shorter and sometimes you even feel spacey. Thoughts go around and around in your head and they seem to magnify, but when you put them into words, writing down your thoughts, they are not so many or so big. Keep on with the counseling. It will help eventually.

Bless you for your service and for sharing your thoughts on the blog. I listened to This American Life, and I was impressed by the stories that I heard you all tell.

Best Wishes,
Nancy Hamilton
