Tribute to US Soldiers who come home with PTSD

Just a video I made while getting treatment for PTSD. As I cannot descripe, to my loved ones, how I feel inside I wanted to share this and give an idea of what we go through. To all of the US vets out there, you are not alone and people just want to help. Thank you for watching and thank you for everything you do!

To people who say the troops are stupid and puppets for the government, fuck you.

No matter what, these people are doing something not anybody could/would do, whenever you talk crap about a soldier, remember your talking about somebodies son, somebodies husband, somebodies dad. We are all brothers in this world.

Soilders are giving their lives each and every day for you. The least you can do is respect them.

Yes war is hell but times come when we need to fight. I can go on and on about why i support the war on terror but thats not the point. I am going to serve my country and possibly die. I dont want to know that i am fighting for a selfish stuck up person, keep your thoughts to your self. God bless our troops and o hope that you will all come home safe.

Hard shit. God Bless and good luck to all of our armed forces. Hopefully, one day our future generations won't have to fight anymore.

@lovebug1835 Thank you. Well im afraid there is nothing you can do, apart from show support. People with PTSD tend to push you away, its their coping mechanism. They tend to push loved ones/people away fearing they drag them down too.. My only advice from experience is; if he pushes you away make sure he has someone else to support him; suffering alone with no support is suicide even if they dont believe so. Support groups with other soldiers suffering is the best starting point. Take care.

@DemmiXxX OMG!!!! I am so sorry to hear about your fiancee....I can't even imagine your pain. I was dating a guy that served in the ARMY and had PTSD....AMAZING man, but he's psychological problems where too much for him to be in a relationship with me, although I showed him I wanted to help him, he pushed himself away from me...any thoughts on what I should do for him?
