I have PTSD from being bullied in the workplace from a co-worker. I have no friends. I really need a friend.

[@abbeyawesome1012]

Where I went to high school I was bullied for needing a service dog and having to constly take medication where I lived in Texas my service dog was in training and service dogs in training dident have public access so we trained her in pet friendly stores and when we moved I was told your faking your disablity and don’t need a service dog I said one your breaking federal law two you can’t ask for doucumention and you can’t ask about my disablity and when I said that she said you owe 125$ for your dog since we dident have time to arugu and get a manger about my service dog we paid the ridulious fee and filed a complaint with ada law and delta they said my mom accidentally put her down as a pet instead of my medical alert phystric service dog

When your own family members are stressing you out it feels so bad :(

[@rooster4669]

Omg I thought it was only me, I spent 24 years in the army and 9 as a police officer. Some days are hard. I can’t wait until it’s over

[@specificgravity-thedancing9700]

Thank you for your service my fellow.

[@McRemmyBaby]

Sorry u had no life n went n fought in a corrupt war for old losers lmao n got all fucked up in tha head 😅

[@BOBK-jf4qx]

You got a double whammie. Wow. I kept postponing getting help because I felt like I "only" did 18 years in police force...I felt like guys in blown up humvees are eligible or deserving.

[@iloveilona2211]

what a lovely man...

[@reneap9049]

Amen my friend.

[@romanianfps]

At least he looks healthy, I hate looking tired all the time. I wouldn't give a shit about suffering in silence if I didn't look the part.

[@desmondwaves]

you will get rid of that suffering and looking that part. I don’t know how long you’ve been suffering for, but you will heal.

[@romanianfps]

@@desmondwaves Well I hope so I wrote that a month ago and im in the same spot lol.

[@romanianfps]

@Jane Doe Yeah this shit is terrible... I'm still suffering from this shit it's like every day is a mindless cycle of just running on a wheel. The emotion of doing anything is practically gone. I'll have certain times where I have a few days back to back where I'm super happy. Than back to a neutral state, never fully negative but never good enough.

[@elrambo2175]

I feel for you brother. I’m in the same spot right now, my uncle who fought in Iraq gave me the same number he used when he was in trouble. Police had to snap me out a couple occasions, really good dudes. Just this Sunday he mentioned if my boots were danners and I fell backwards from the bridge. I feel horrible.

Where the rest of the videoo

[@shauncry1917]

Your beard is top notch

[@liam61654]

I cant control it. Im too weak and Im scared to own a gun because I get sad. Any advice?

[@merandacastaneda5568]

the time to own a gun will come. I know its hard to feel confident in yourself sometimes. I promise that the person you were before trauma hit you is not lost, and that someday you will be able to see yourself again. I recently found out I have severe C-PTSD. and im really surprised im alive sometimes. but if anyone really deserves the chance the world is willing to give, its us. all I have to say is; never feel ashamed, and if you can let the people around you understand so they can help and understand what you're working through, even your boss. everything you're experiencing is 100% real and valid and it is most important that you know that about yourself.

[@LetArtsLive]

This is exactly why I like to sit in a booth I don't like people in front of me I like to be behind them so I can see them in front of me and it's not so easy as what you say for some people. And if some people can't get help they will die like my friend who was in Vietnam. Steven a cliche he was an artist it's serious you don't seem to think it's that serious I guess

[@abbeyawesome1012]

I have server ptsd to the point that anxitey has caused fainting I have a service dog for my ptsd if you want to know more about my service dog watch my channel she was my emotional support anmail before becoming my service dog

[@LetArtsLive]

❤ I did not know you have to pay for a service animal the way I am with one leg I couldn't take care of one

[@McRemmyBaby]
