A Post from the Edge
Kayla Williams posted a great piece at the Huffington Post: the view from the trigger end of the gun of a PTSD suicide.
The gun is heavy in my hand, cold, solid. I sit on the edge of my bathtub and stare at it. The door is shut and I am alone. I can hear my own breathing, uneven.
This I can control.
Williams writes eloquently about the desperation and degradation of being a soldier with PTSD. Worth a read.
