Well, I seem to have a lot in common with Phil. I suffer from depression that was also diagnosed in 1998. I also suffer from PTSD. It is said to be from a combination of events during my service. The first Gulf War in 1991 was the trigger. Although I was in other combat situations in the Falklands war and other skirmishes.
I use various medication and have been helped by the Combat Stress Team. I have some physical injuries due to a car crash a few years ago too. (I'm just the definition of irony. Survive wars and nearly get killed by a white van! )
I don't write about my experiences in the forces, that would be too much for me. I am adding small bits into my novels as fiction. I even intend to add the PTSD subject into my third novel in the SISCO series.
Well, if you don't know me, all I can say is, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I look forward to seeing many more introductions and to make new friends.
