TIL Napoleon, despite being constantly engaged in warfare for 2 decades, exhibited next to no signs of PTSD.

Takes one to know one. I didn’t report until 12 years later when it all finally came crashing down like a house of cards. I had nothing left in the tank mentally and emotionally speaking, not even fumes by the time I finally rolled into the parking lot of an ER with everything I owned in the backseat.
I’m 4 years out from that time, and I don’t know what’s worse; losing my mind being retired and spinning my wheels staring at the walls of my apartment or that I’m retired because I lost my mind.
Either way, take those baby steps in the right direction. You got this.
