she was diagnosed with PTSD. Three weeks later, she received the choice of launching discharge procedures or being transferred to a noncombat job.

She chose the latter and became an operations coordination officer at Home Front Command's Haifa district. "I wanted to prove to myself that I was strong," she says.
She served there for almost a year, and no one in the army followed up on her mental health. "I broke down three times," she says, adding that when Iran's missiles started falling, "I experienced PTSD symptoms at a much higher volume. I felt like everything was closing in on me, that I had to remain in my safest place."
After a few days of home leave, her commander pressured her to return to the base. "I explained to him that I couldn't wear a uniform, that I couldn't breath in a military framework," she says. "But he asked me to come in said they'd find a new job for me," so she came back.
"For 10 hours, nobody spoke to me. I felt that my feelings didn't really matter to anybody and that there was no answer for me, so I went back home and broke down again and was taken to an emergency room."
As her release forms from Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa put it, "In light of the gravity of the symptoms, she must be taken to an examination by IDF mental health officials – as soon as possible!" Mental health professionals said she had to be discharged immediately and begin drug treatment.
