You were not alone then, you are 
not alone now. There are 20 million vets who would give their lives for 
you. PLEASE, don't take yours.
	
After a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel frightened, sad, 
anxious, and disconnected. But if the upset doesn't fade and you feel 
stuck with a constant sense of danger and painful memories, you may be 
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can seem like 
you'll never get over what happened or feel normal again. 
 
This is why we have created the "buddy-buddy" program.  Veterans 
like you, that have shared a similar experience or trauma in one of our 
nations many conflicts, are available to talk with you openly and 
privately and help you deal with issues associated with your experience.
 
 
If you are struggling, if you are in pain, if you just need to talk, please call.
