re: On Average, A Veteran Commits Suicide Every 65 Minutes

I’m a disabled vet and it’s a daily battle fighting these demons. The VA just gives me pills and when they don’t work. They give me more pills and up the dosage. The only happiness I have is when I’m alone away from everybody. Being that I have a wife and young kids it’s hard to lock myself in a room all day. My kids are my motivation to get better.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I really am. Every time I call my State & Federal Legislators (which I do often) I always make sure I tell them we need to take care of our wounded warriors. Apparently it's not enough.

I'm sorry to read that. I did a lot of reading last night to better educate myself on you guys. Makes me understand a lot more about why non-profits and private services pour their time, effort and money into trying to help as much as possible.
The documentary I stumbled upon is called Almost Sunrise. On Prime. I had been watching some docs on the AT and PCT and it was a suggested/related movie. After it started I told myself "oh no, this is just another walk for a cause video blah blah..." But it quickly wasn't. It wasn't about a couple of vets walking from Milwaukee to LA for attention at all.
What I watched truly did affect me. It was very real to me as I'm not a vet or close to it. There's a couple of things in this movie I want you to see. Some final coping mechanisms that were breakthroughs for them. And others. You'll know what I mean when you watch. Stay tough.
