"Dusty Won on PTSD"
Sunday, September 16th
During morning meditation I internally heard, "Dusty won on PTSD." I had no idea what this pertain to. I don't know anyone by the name of Dusty, but possibly I will me a clt at work this week named Dusty. Sometimes I get messages that come to fruition in the near future.
Out of curiosity, I did look up Dusty and PTSD. I read a very interesting article about a woman Vietnam vet who lives with PTSD. She only gives her first name and the article is under Vancouver Island University. It was published online in 1994. I personally learned some new things by reading her article. By her sharing about her PTSD, I felt she won by expanding my knowledge of PTSD. First off, I made the assumption that Dusty was a man. I was totally wrong. Second, I made the assumption that only men served in the Vietnam war. She is a woman that served as a nurse. She shares in her article that others in the military and our society made it difficult to share feelings after the war. She felt that men dismissed her PTSD that she experienced as a Vietnam nurse. The good news is she eventually received support from others, but does struggle with trusting those who offer support as she continues her journey towards recovery. She won by using her voice in this article. The article is informative and supports all vets, especially women, who live with PTSD.
