Specifically, which ones?

And for people who actually served, did you ever feel like talking to a counselor? And if so, did you?

The reason for this thread is that I just was reminded that a kid i grew up with committed suicide after he came back from war. I was just thinking about what he might have gone through. I wasn't great friends with the guy, but I'm sad I'll never run into him again.

And I was thinking about whether talking to someone about the stuff helps or just dredges it all back up in an uncomfortable way. and then I sort of dredged myself, I guess.
