I got out of the Navy in 2008.

I started dealing with my friends killing themselves off before I got my honorable.

I had more than enough after I was discharged.

After losing friends while active, and after they got out to suicide I swore I would keep living to honor them and live the lives they couldn't.

It is getting more difficult everyday. I'm feeling PHYSICAL PAIN from the fact that I can see data and patterns while the entire world is just giving into feelings and forgetting what happened 5 minutes ago.

I'm in the works of getting my VA disability increased because of this and extra therapy sessions, but all I get is platitudes and "just go along with it, you need your job" kind of shit.

I am SOOOOOOOO fed up with it. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING FED UP WITH IT.

If I were not a man of my word, I would not be here right now. I am a man of my word and I will be here until the bitter end.

Much appreciated.

You can do vet's right by standing up to stupid. When a feels > reals policy happens at work? Speak up. Otherwise, accept you're pushing us to suicide.

Absolutely. I am no longer standing by. I’ve been kicked off Reddit for saying it’s “not ok to loot businesses & neighborhoods just because they’re white. And news flash: they’re not all white”. So I’m expanding and mobilizing efforts as that pissed me off to no end!!

Thank you for your service! Keep up the good fight.

My Dad served 23 years Air Force, and I will be forever indebted and grateful to all that serve.
