Unvarnished Truths
Of
PTSD
A Public Service Commentary
By: Michele Chapline
Mental illness is a complicated, and in many ways, a mysterious subject.
Even medical and health professionals admit they many times do not have the answers as to causes, treatment and cures.
Brad has attempted to share many of the experiences which have shaped his life. After much reflection and self-evaluation, he has illustrated what he feels has affected his own mental health. He has always been frighteningly honest in relating his own experiences and shortcomings. I say frighteningly because to most of us, it is terrifying to lay bare parts of our lives which may not reveal us in the best light. I, myself, am an exceedingly private person and would not have the courage to present my total self for unfettered scrutiny. But, I believe he has presented to us clues as to the burgeoning mental health problem in this country.
He has been bedeviled with experiences which can arguably be related to conditions connected to a mental imbalance in many individuals: (1) sexual abuse (rape, incest, exposure of an extremely vulnerable person to sexual overtures and innuendoes). (2) bullying, (both physical and emotional). (3) domestic violence situations, marital and family strife. (4) military and/or other stressful situations resulting in PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). (5) stressful work scenarios (both in civilian and military sectors) where even doing the right thing may bring repercussions. (6) heredity...be aware of your relatives, for not only your physical health, but your mental and emotional health and stability as well.
Brad has provided in tabular form some possible answers. In the cases where his stress resulted in an aberration, many times the people who could see the unhealthy psychological responses chose to discipline him or ignore the obvious signs.
On the other hand, when he was provided with sincerity, listening, and proper counseling, he achieved a method to control his responses.
The one major difference in Brad compared to others who may suffer from PTSD to the point of harming themselves and others, is that he does value human life. Even for those he truly despised, he never took the opportunity to “finish them off”. Brad definitely retaliated against his enemies, but it was, in the end, only what he truly felt to be justifiably, “evening the score”.
Brad had, fortunately, a few very good people in his life at crucial junctures. I believe they provided him with the knowledge that there is value in life.
Mass-murderer and former U.S. Marine, Charles Chitat Ng, a prisoner once in Brad's custody, was filled with hate and hostility. He killed remorselessly in having a total disregard for any life but his own. Brad, in contrast, has many times put himself in jeopardy in taking action to aid those who have not been able to defend themselves. He can surely relate to that defenseless person and acts to alleviate the problem.
It appears that simple courtesy and concern for others may go a long way in averting situations which may develop into a negative pattern in someone’s life. These patterns have been observed in many patients who have mental health conditions.
We all need to begin recognizing the signs of a troubled mind. Get these people professional help and show them kindness, rather than mean-spirited verbal assaults.
Mental health conditions in America will never be brought under control should “red flags” continue to be ignored and/or mishandled.

In both my personal life and my two careers as a U.S. Marine and a prison guard, I have had many opponents, adversaries, and or just outright enemies. Their kindest opinions have branded me as an unhinged madcap individual who was unpredictable and definitely hard-hitting in retaliation.
I admit that I’ve never been a part of any clique or group. I’ve mostly been untrusting of others, especially those who paraded their real or presumed superintendence over others.
I could easily count over my entire life trusted friends on one hand. But, even those fellowships had stringent limitations. Therefore, a lone wolf marker placed on me could easily be upheld.
It goes without saying that I've taken lots of risks and chances in life where the odds were definitely not in my favor. I've celebrated those victories. The others, well, I have either recovered from, or just plain survived those encounters.
Although I've made more than my fair share of poor judgments and mistakes, I still became a quite reputable man.
While the best part of me has always been my exceptionally harmonious nature with people and animals who were desperate for help, I was right each time I saw them as not having the capabilities of defending themselves. Very much a "soft-spot" with me. At this point, I felt the moral obligation to step in and do their fighting for them. While I won many of those confrontations, I did, however, lose more than a few.
The saddest part has been all my life-long clashes with family. Many times, unjustly labeled and accused, I've had to fight my way through lengthy battles in rightfully discrediting false characterizations made of me and surfacing the level of rectitude that I rightfully deserved.
So, through all this, and much more, I discovered I was far from invincible. For, I too, am human. Because there were limits as to how much burden and stress I could carry. I've learned this the hard way, twice. But, nevertheless, with virtually no allies, and post traumatic stress lingering, I still found paths to recovery.
So, for good reason, now, in my retirement years, I prefer to avoid people. I find that living most of my final years in a state of virtual solitude is very much worth it.
However, I’d be a liar if I didn't say that this long, long journey of mine hasn't given me a full life. But, the real truth is, while at times life has been an absolute gift, it has also been a frequent curse.
