Fighting my way back to normal: Life after deployment

PTSD is not this dramatic symptom-driven state of being as it is portrayed in movies and on TV. In general, people with PTSD do not show symptoms all the time. We have become masters at appearing normal and, for the most part, are highly functioning members of society. It is only when we can no longer operate under "normal" that we reveal ourselves and seek help. Even at my worst I was not exhibiting all symptoms all day at the same time.
