Capt. Molly Mae Potter’s post-traumatic stress disorder was unbearable after a rocket explosion in Afghanistan. She is the daughter of two Army veterans and didn’t want to ask for help to look weak.

“She started waking me up in the middle of the night. I thought she had to go outside, or needed water … eventually I realized she was waking me up as I was having night terrors,” said Potter, who lives in Austin, Texas. “So I stopped having them. I could finally start sleeping through the night … My brain was finally healing itself because I was getting eight hours of sleep.”
