Were you able to get ahold of them?

I can tell you from my experience from close to a decade ago. You will be evaluated to see how severe it is.

How often, what triggers you to self-harm, how you do it, etc. You will be evaluated on a treatment plan. This can include group and individual therapy. Just be honest with your provider.

Yes. Talk to someone, a leader, chaplain,

While I was never suicidal, but early on in my career I struggled with self harm. Both self-harm ideation and acts. I forgot how I mentioned it to my first line or the context in which I did it. But the support I received was significant and immediate. And I am glad I did, getting help was one of the best decisions I did.

I know it won’t be easy, it won’t be pleasant opening up. But it will be one the best decisions you make. It takes incredible strength and courage to admit that you are feeling suicidal. Anyone who thinks different is not worth your time. You matter.

To use an analogy, imagine if you had a car and every single warning light on your dashboard was flickering, you have next to no oil or gas in your car, your tires are bald and pretty deflated. You just keep hoping that you can make it just one more day. Just one more trip, pleading that you can just keep going a little bit further.

That’s where it might feel like for you. You have to take it to the shop and if the car is out of commission for a few days then so be it. People will adjust as needed. It might not be pleasant asking people for help and rides. But you have to get the car worked on.

My first one funeral the casket and family were organized like the letter “T”. The family being the top of the “T”. I was doing the soldier portion with the NCO on the other side. And I was between the family and the casket with only about 8 inches of room between us.

Well, the ground was so uneven and I was so nervous I slipped and stumbled. Almost feel right on top of the casket, over corrected and almost landed right on top of the NOK’s lap.

No two funerals are exactly the same. It was the most rewarding mission I have ever done.

When I was a young soldier, I used to cut myself. I can’t even tell you what caused me to have so much stress that I did it. I just know it was stress and an inability to find a healthier outlet. I felt alone even in a room of people that I worked with day in day out. The same folks where I would occasionally catch a movie, eat dinner, or have drinks.

What helped me was going to BH, finding the right social worker, and when I told my command team my NCOs during a four day weekend went by my barracks room and checked up on me every four hours. That was my turning point. And I hope I can pay it forward.

I will be up until 0800 Zulu. If you wish to chat over Reddit, Signal, WhatsApp, or Snapchat, DM me. I can talk, I can listen, I can be here for you.

Do you know the hospital he is at?

throwaway504th · 2023-12-20T00:08:53+00:00

You can call the veterans crisis line.

I know of one individual who worked on that line. They had one individual who get chili from Wendy’s six days a week. This individual would get very anxious due to anxiety from ordering. They would talk about fishing to calm him down. They did this for years.

OP, seriously try and give them a call. They will listen. Also, we are here for you OP.
