Description:
This is an incredible true story of two 18 year olds at war. The words are direct from my diary which I wrote in almost daily whilst at war, telling an emotionally charged and brutally honest view of an 18 year old in conflict, expressing fear, excitement and terror. It leads into my decline from a local hero to embarrassment as I quickly sank into the dark space of PTSD, anxiety and depression and how it affected me and my family.

This is an incredible true story of two 18 year olds at war. The words are direct from my diary which I wrote in almost daily whilst at war, telling an emotionally charged and brutally honest view of an 18 year old in conflict, expressing fear, excitement and terror. It leads into my decline from a local hero to embarrassment as I quickly sank into the dark space of PTSD, anxiety and depression and how it affected me and my family.
I was born in December 1963 and HMS Fearless was launched in December 1963. She became the ship in which I first went to war in 1982 as a young Royal Navy Communicator. Our lives were linked inexplicably up to and including 1982. Having both been ‘born’ in the same month and year, I was in Aden during the Aden Insurgency as a child in 1967 where my father was serving in the Royal Artillery. There Fearless carried out her first operational role evacuating troops off the coast of Aden. Becoming my first ship in the Royal Navy in 1981, we sailed to war together in 1982. From that intense experience she brought me safely (physically not mentally) back home.
I am now a Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and Public Speaker putting my negative experiences into a positive outcome to support myself and others to transform their lives.
