Saw about your struggle with civilian life and wanted to say that you are not alone. I am an OIF veteran, got back from Iraq, served about another year, year and a half and was forced out because of mental health pretty much. Was a lot to deal with. Locked myself inside the house for years besides going to VA appointments. Luckily I have a great wife that understands my struggles and she stood by me no matter what I was going through. Got out in December of 04 and I am still struggling. Not as much now as I was back then but I had a really hard time. Just wanted you to know that I am here if you ever need someone to talk to. We all have to look out for each other so don't ever feel like you are alone bro. Hope all is well.
