THEY WILL KILL A LOVED ONE OR THEMSELVES THIS IS THE HARDEST THING ABOUT PTSD YOU KNOW YOU ARE COMPLETELY RATTLED IN THE WORSE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THE THOUGHTS OF KILL OR BE KILL KINDA REMAINS THERE YOU GET TOO SAD IN YOUR MINE YOU LOOK FOR AN EXIT AN EXIT THAT LEADS YOUR BRAIN TO END IT STOP THE THOUGHT PROCESS FROM OCCURING BEING CREATIVE HELPS RATHER IT'S A PUZZLE A BOOK OR JUST A DRIVE FEELING THE BREEZE HIT YOUR FACE GIVES ME A SENSE OF SURVIVING PTSD MANY WIVES LEAVE THE MARRIAGE TAKING THE KIDS AWAY FROM THE QUOTE UNQUOTE CRAZY VETERAN FEW WOMEN ACTUALLY STAY SADLY THE DECISION TO LEAVE WITHOUT THERAPY FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY COULD EASILY RESULT IN VETERAN SUICIDE MANY TIME THE VETERANS KILLS HIS ENTIRE FAMILY BEFORE KILLING HIMSELF WE PROMOTE SAFETY FOR CAREGIVERS AND THE VETERAN TO PREVENT SELF HARM GUN LOCK SAFETY MEDICATION CABINETS WITH LOCKS YOU HAVE TO BASICALLY SPRING INTO ACTION MANY PEOPLE SEE VETERANS THE UNIFORM THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES AS A
