When I went to Iraq, I was so scared because I didnt know what it would be like. but now that I have come back, its harder so much harder. being in Iraq wasnt hard at the time. but now its hard. My mind remembers things, the looks in peoples faces as I watched them die, the dead bodies lining the hallway because we didnt have room in the hospital, getting blood on my shoe because someone was bleeding perfusely. those are things I cant put out of my head I cant let it go. I can still remember hiding in our concrete shelters when we got attacked and I remember when people I loved back home died and how I received the messages. I remember how our little post looked when we arrived in Iraq and how it looked when I left. I remember how cold it was during the winter and hot it got as spring came. I remember having to go to mental hospital because of things going on at home. I remember my mom not answering the phone everytime I called from Iraq. I remember it all what do I do now?

You helped others the best you could in a very difficult situation. No more can be done. Can't speak for personal matters. Where ever you were, these events would have still taken place. |

my husband is from kurdistan of iran, and he has witnessed many terrible things in his time, some members of his family were hung just for writing articles for a newspaper.
these things never leave you, but it helps to talk about them and write them down.
never keep it to yourself.
hope you have people close to you who can help you through this. |

Seek that medical advice and counselling NOW and save yourself a lifetime of torment.  |
