Do you have a therapist? My wife is a therapist and can probably find one that specializes in PTSD, etc.
My suggestion would be call your pastor or a member of the clergy. I venture to say in the big city they have help lines, don't be afraid to call them, hell before you do something regrettable call the suicide hot line anyone to talk to. Sorry if I presumed your suicidal that not my intention it just some place you can call and talk to somebody, ya never know they could help you find a great therapist
Dysfunctional vet keep your head up... we’ve all been there if you ever need to just talk you can hit me up I’ll give you email phone numbers whatever you want or need... I’m still in the service I’ve been in for 14 years now and we all have to be there for each other I’ve been keeping on eye on your posts and I know you’re going through a rough patch but know it gets better... I’m here for ya and we’re all here for ya
is there a vet center in your town? if there is a va hospital you can go to the er. if not can go to another hospitals' er if this is critical you need to see someone to talk with. bless you and seek help
You're doing the right thing to reach out. If you have a regular therapist or psychiatrist give them a call. If it's really bad you can call the suicide hotline as mentioned above, or there are often centers for inpatient "crisis" psych care.
Mental health takes constant work and it's extra tough this time of year if you have seasonal affective issues on top of it all. Stay vigilant and do what you've been taught to take care of your mind. Sometimes the hardest part is continuing to do the right things to care for yourself when you're not feeling "broken" at the moment.
ADHD isn't the same thing, but I hear you and I know that frustration of feeling like your own brain isn't on your team and being sick and f-ing tired of working overtime to manage your mind. Start putting together a string of good decisions, and remember that one good decision is better than none.
Breathe deep, have a balanced meal, call somebody.

I avoided your other post, because I am in a similar situation. I know what you are going through man!
My issues lie in that I am 38 years old and I lost my dad when I was 20 in 2001, and my mom when I was 26 in 2006.
I was Married in 2005, and was Married for 13 years before my wife decided she wasn't willing to work on us any more this year. We had a son in 2008 and he is all that I live for these days. My only suggestion to you is you are worth it, and there are people that truly do love you. I have had extreme lows lately, and have felt extremely alone.
I'm doing everything I can right now to be with the people I know truly care about me, and those are the people you need to reach out to. As well as a 3rd party person that has no interest in anything else, but to just listen to your problems
Hang in there man!

Omaha VA, 42nd & Center, - my brother took a guy in a couple weeks ago & he is already going to his 3rd or 4th appt. next week. Think he had an appt. with the Dr. the next week then somewhere in Papillion for Vet's & a Hearing Dr. in Bellevue & back to VA next week. They say things move really fast now, so go get the help you deserve, & Thank you! - all the best
He hasn’t been back on the board since he posted. Praying everything is ok!! @Dysfunctional Vet please let us know your ok!
Navy veteran here. If you live close enough head over to the VA. I lost a beloved aunt to suicide. She had started treatment for depression and didn't get to it soon enough.
Suicide is permanent solution to a temporary problem. I know you had the relationship issue and it has obviously put you in a tail spin. Don't listen to those voices. Get help immediately!

Mods - if you have his contact information, contact him. If you don’t get a response but know his town, contact the authorities.
You men & women who have served and are currently serving are my true heroes. I respect and appreciate your sacrifices. Please know there are millions of Americans that feel the way I do so we need you to hang in there so we can help you the way you helped us. Give us a chance to assist you.
Hey man, find some one to talk to. Surround yourself with some people. I know maybe a lot of times it drives you away from people but please, take care of yourself. You are worth so much more than youre feeling right now. My humble suggestion sir. And if I'm way off and overstepped my bounds, tell me to F off.
Bump. Republicans, democrats, Trump. Obama.....that should get their attention.
Mods! Alert!!!!!!
Or somebody report as inappropriate
Yes at this point if ANYONE knows who this person may be please contact him. Mods if you can access his contact info please reach out to him... it is very concerning that he has not responded to any of this... praying he is ok and just out trying to do what makes him happy...
Hopefully there paying attention and have started something
As Jackie Gleason said on Smokey and the bandit. That's an attention getter. Sometimes the mods are Johnny on the spot except for weekend. Unfortunately tonight might be the case.
Not sure if this is the real deal or vet us messing with us but I'm trying my darndest to draw attention to a potential bad situation. I don't care if I get a vacation
Man didn’t realize this was much worse then I thought at the time after making dinner...
Prayers if real serious situation..

IMO it's real I think a month or two back he was getting some type of help because he posted something in that matter
You are loved, Vet. Hang in there and talk to someone.
Some good advice already handed out. It takes a man with giant balls to ask for help. Recognizing that is the first and most important step that you've already taken. As Vets, we have some pretty great resources at our disposal. Get out of the house, don't isolate. Call someone, anyone. You can beat this. You'll never experience anything harder than what you did as a combat veteran. Stop by the Humane Society and visit some animals. Visit a senior center and talk to the elderly. Volunteer and help some kids. These things work. How do I know? I've done them during my darkest days. I'm still standing. You can, too.

Thank you for your service!! I met a WWII vet the awhile back in church, he said he was 92 and fought in the South Pacific. I told him the same thing
Ok so at this point does anyone know any of the mods to reach out to them... maybe it’s a military thing but I can’t leave this alone until i know he is ok... we are trained to look out for each other and Suicide is a very big issue within our ranks so they even teach us how to communicate and how to help... and the first step is reaching out and just listening. This guy needs help and he is our husker family we need to reach out to him and ensure he is ok... and stay with him until we know he makes it through this extreamly difficult time...
Those guys are true treasures. Full of unbelievable wisdom! Thanks, for taking the time to appreciate us!
I sent Nate a DM on Twitter and he said he was going to look into this
I know a former ranger. He had to run out of magadishu the day after Black Hawk Down. You saw those guys and their overnight in the movie. He spent some time in JSOC after that. He has a warrior spirit and continues to serve his community, without throwing lead downrange. Vet if this is the kind of brother you want to talk to let me know.
I want to know who doesn't appreciate them? I love meeting old vets and asking them where they have been, what did they do, etc. I once met a Pearl Harbor vet. He was 92 and amazing. Still working. I must have spent 15 minutes of my employer's time just listening to him.
I also have a good friend in my neighborhood who is a purple heart Vietnam vet. He has lots of fishing, shooting and auto advice. He's helped me with quite a bit.
There's so many in my family tree and I have a nephew in the Marines. Got to give and got to give back.
