Turn the TV off, those are the only flashbacks you are seeing. What do you mean "Army Ranger" for life? You suggesting that YOU are an army ranger? Stop lying.

Talk about it. Start with your buddies in your unit, then friends and family. Talk to your Chaplain, your doctor, anyone who will listen. Talk to people who have had similar experiences(VFW is a great place). You can help each other by talking about how the war has effected you.
But what ever you do, don't bottle it up inside and let it fester and grow into something it doesn't need to be. I always made an effort to talk to my troopers about our experiences and let them know that I am always here for them if they ever needed to talk about it or anything else on their minds.
You can write me and I will listen. Good luck.

Talk to someone.
If you are still serving, there must be a mental health officer to help you. If you are out, contact your local VA and they will help you.
Don't try to handle it on your own and don't let pride get in your way. It's too much to face alone. This is completely normal after being in such a dangerous situation for a period of time.
Thank you for your service to our country. You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for your sacrifice.

I recommend mental help but do make sure to find a good shrink. There is nothing wrong with a man using somebody elses help. You helped out this country a great deal, so I would hope that you have access to some good medical benefits.

I would reccomed that you go to the local Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital if your in combat everything is paid for and you dont have to pay for anything alot of veterans go there to get help from injuries they got in the war to psycoligical things like post tramitic stress disorder where you have flash backs.

You need to see a psychologist or some kind of counsellor who can help you with strategies so you can cope. Contact your old unit and they should be able to help if not see your doctor.

I'm not a pro but if you are suffering from PTSD you need to talk to a professional now!

You go to the VA, that's what they're paid to do. This blog sure won't be of any help!
