Déjà Vu!
So, you have seen & experienced those dark days in your life when there was no ray of hope!
Well, the solution was somewhere around you as your struggle to succeed always triumphs the succinct changes & struggles in life. Let me tell you a story of RAW courage of one of our war veterans who not only displayed the great courage in the war zone, but he also won the second battle he was fighting internally.
The guy, I would call him ‘Hero’ was struggling with PTSD during and after his tenure in Afghanistan. According to American Psychiatric Association, “posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault. “.
Now that ‘Hero’ shared a lot of war stories and how his team dealt with it. At the same time, he also shared how he and many in his team have hustled to win the war going within in the form of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Being away from the family & friends with some serious tasks to accomplish, he found some time to reenergize his mind & body through some meaningful content he used to read (and still enjoys reading) on best health and wellness blogs. While he shared a long list of mental wellness blogs (some of them he discovered recently), I will share some of them here to help you deal with depression and stress. Thank ‘Hero’ later!
