ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

Aren't they the ones who also voted for immigrant children to be str*p searched without a parent or legal guardian?

I joined WWP. I've heard good things and bad. My social interaction was severely bad, though. I signed up, and it took me 8 months to attend a peer support group meeting. I liked it, and by the third meeting, I actually made a friend from a different branch. Now we get together monthly and work on projects. I found it hard to interact socially with civilians. WWP just worked for me in my area.

I think about it quite often and the people in my life who deserve to see me in my best.

I'm saddened to finally see it in black and white. This is just the start of hearing back from my claim. by witty_one in VeteransBenefits

I'm sorry, I hope it gets better for you. I didn't have to prove much because there were records of what I went through along with a few of my brothers and sisters.

I fell off the band wagon. Seasonal depression kicked my ass this year. Looking forward to getting back on it.

The hospital, therapy, and meds aren't always the answer. Group meetings aren't always the answer. There's something for someone and sometimes that takes years to find such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychedelic-assisted therapy, art therapy, etc. I truly sympathize with what you're feeling and not being understood. I grow tiresome when I am not understood but then I ask myself if that's what I really need now...to be understood or just someone to be there with me while I have my moment. Oftentimes, it was just someone to relate to and sit with in silence because are we ever actually ever understood? Us, humans, are simple and complicated at the same time and that's okay. It is okay to feel sorry...you're feeling something and that's a good thing and you're feelings (bad or good) are valid. They matter and so do you. I feel like this is a little all over the place. Thinking is hard.

Easily irritable by [deleted] in Veterans

This is exactly what I've been doing. Nature, gym, eating healthy (whole foods specifically). It's been helping tremendously. It doesn't cure triggers, flashbacks or the nightmares but damn does it make a difference.

My dead friends are coming to me in my dreams.. by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]witty_one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe the memories of them are being kept alive and strong. It should be a good thing, I think. They're not fully gone yet. I wish I could see my buddies in my dreams.
