Outdance the Devil: A Sniper's Account of the Scariest Enemy He Ever Fought...

Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) does not care if you've served. This book focuses on my life, and being a soldier for most of it, it's going to have a part of my career attached by necessity. However, I ask from the first page that you understand that this book is for anyone who has suffered traumatic stress: police officers, firefighters, parents, medical professionals, and more.\nPTSI and the associated depression are devastating. You have no idea why you do what you do. You can't remember things you did; you can't see why people don't see that you're trying to ask for help... but don't know how. You feel like there is no way out. You want a way out, you want to be happy, you don't want to hurt those closest to you, but you do, and each time pushes you further and further into the Darkness. You reach a calmness, a calmness of acceptance, a calmness that comes from knowing that you're the problem, and you have to go. Twenty-two veterans a day reach that point, as well as countless civilians; PTSI doesn't care if you served. We have to do more to recognize the signs and see the character changes that warn of a path that leads to another loss of life.\nLearn, understand and support those who fight themselves harder than they have ever fought an enemy.
