You were not alone then, and you are not alone now. There are 20 million veterans who would give their lives for you. PLEASE, don't take yours.
After a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel frightened, sad, anxious, and disconnected. But if the upset doesn't fade and you feel stuck with a constant sense of danger and painful memories, you may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can feel like you'll never get over what happened or feel normal again.
This is why we have created the "buddy-buddy" program. Veterans like you, who have shared a similar experience or trauma in one of our nation's many conflicts, are available to talk with you openly and privately and help you deal with issues associated with your experience.
If you are struggling, in pain, or just need to talk, please call.
