My family has grown up with a person that struggled with PTSD. It was really bad at first because of the Vietnam War. Support can help make a lot of difference between people saying you have PTSD and you just having a life and proving wrong the people that say there is something wrong with you.
I personally am diagnosed with severe depression. I don't let anyone tell me that I can or can't do anything. My friends have been with me all the way and have helped me through some hard times. I have few friends but the ones I have matter a lot.
I have never said something like this but reading the messages above made me want to say something. I salute all fo the brave men and women in our armed services for their support and protection of the American people and the peace that they have brought to this world.
