Blake, I read somewhere that physical activity helps us to deal with trauma. Not sure if that's what attracted you to the army, but I'm glad that I got to trade my desk job for something way more physical for a while, after playing dual-diagnosis final level with exafriend.
Being "trapped" in an office while my body was still on "alert", and "thinking productively" while my mind was all over the place would not have worked for me at all.
I'm now back at the office, but doing a lot of running, yoga and meditation to keep the restlessness and anxiety in check. It got a lot better, and I just started looking at new places so I can stop living out of my suitcase
