You nailed it on the head Mike Glover! As a prior LEO and Firefighter I’ve seen my far share of the good, the bad and the horrifying. For a while I would dive headfirst into a bottle of whiskey to numb it all away…it didn’t work. What worked was getting off my ass and being accountable for me. We need to stop look for people to validate our feelings. I sought out professional help but can only get you so far. Once I got that squared away I begin to break myself down not just physically but also mentally, it was exactly what I needed. “Strong Body, Strong Mind” rebuilding myself physically and also tearing down mental walls going to the foundation of my mental fortress and rebuilding. I’ve come a long way and everyday is a continuous process and that process doesn’t stop. Thank you for this Mike, so many people need to hear this.

Amen. I was there for years. Then I realized no matter how much I wallowed in the past no one was coming to save me. I got into MMA, the training and discipline and progress was something to look forward to and I had people I respected and cared about me that I didn't want to disappoint. I learned a new habit of when the darkness would creep up on me, rather than put on country music and open a bottle of Jack, I would go for a run or do something physical, make a meal that took some thought and time. Being around people was hard but instead of looking to them for something, I did something for them, encouraged them...I made it about helping them. That made me feel better but also I started feeling good about myself. At first it required the discipline of doing it whether I wanted to or not but soon it became the thing that pulled me out of the hole because I was focussed more on someone or something else than I was on myself. I still have the nightmares and when I do I schedule prayer time first...learning to trust in God...and that is a process but well worth the work, then service to others next, meals and naps and water, and physical activity. I have never felt better and the tail isn't wagging the dog anymore. Thank you Mike for all you do Sir. You are making a difference.

I stopped working out for the healing time and it’s been a struggle to get back into it. It’s spiraled to a place I’ve never been as far as physical shape and those injuries led to recruiting duty which sucks and I think I fell into a bit of feeling like a military volun-told victim. I’ve been lazy, I’ve created excuses. I’m getting extremely tired of it and starting to hate where I’m at which will force me to change. I simply need to be active.

My mom and dad got divorced when I was three, then remarried when I was a young teen. My dad hung himself when I was 22, and he didn't know he was my best friend. I looked up to him because I love him, even though he wasn't around when I was young, and caused a lot of chaos in the 2nd half of the marriage due to alcohol. I bet he put himself down for his mistakes in life, but I didn't see his mistakes when I was with him. I just wanted him to be there, and now he's not here. I guess what I'm saying is your kids want you there, no matter what they might say, or how you perceive the relationship. You see your faults. I bet they see a Dad, who they love and need.

As a combat vet diagnosed with PTSD who is married to a trafficking survivor I think you did an amazing job of putting combat trauma into perspective. If you think you’ve been through it overseas just imagine what sexual assault and trafficking survivors have been through everyday for years before they escaped. But on the flip side, one thing my wife always says is not to compare trauma. Yours is no better or worse than anyone else’s, and this is coming from someone that spent her first 26 years living some of the most horrific experiences known to man. Either way you look at it, it’s great advice. Some days I succeed in following it, other days I fail miserably. But I can tell you that some of the worst days of my life are when I’m being lazy and feeling sorry for myself.

Thank you Mike. Do love you back and love what you bring alive in and for people. Healing. So much respect for your honesty. I've been listening to the message now several times. Never heard what I heard until now at 4:58. Not a veteran but was invited into a vet's support group that met at Marine Sgt Bob McMillan's shop. When Bobby as I called him heard my story he invited me in. As the other vets listened to my story, some of these hard men wept. They all agreed that my sexual abuser would have come home in a body bag had any of them known. You see Mike. My oldest brother Joe was a brutal f***"d up perverted bastard. From the time I was about 3yrs old until I was 12yrs old. He regularly and f***"**g dark as hell shit abused me. I do recall my parents would always say as they were going out. Joe is in charge. You do whatever he says. So I did. He was into pornography. He enlisted in the Marine Corps when I was 12yrs old.. Unfortunately all the guys in the support group have died. Except for one. And the last time he was in my house we almost got into a fist fight. So. Very grateful for your spirit in delivering real messages of real hope. I was created strong built to last go down swinging. Not quite dead yet. Love. Brian

Once upon a time, I was a young guy in an age where social media didn’t exist. Yes, one can argue that social media brought a slew of problems to the global stage, so that we can acknowledge and address it. However, it came at a price. Today, if you’re on social media, you aren’t just faced with issues that should be fixed, but also random thoughts, bullying and trolling on a much larger stage. I believe this has contributed to a lot of mental health issues. I have gotten off Facebook and am only on Twitter for weather related news for my area, and KZbin. I also believe our gov should spend more money on veteran’s health. TBH, I’m not a vet. It’s just my opinion that vets that come home aren’t being taken care of by the very country that sent them down range. Thank you to all who have served. You’re all heroes. For those vets that suffer, I hope you find the love and support you have earned.

I know a lot of people aren’t going to like this video or agree with anything you’re saying BUT as someone who has struggled with mental health since high school (major depression & social anxiety) I 100% agree with you mike. Most people will just keep making excuses like “oh well it’s not my fault i went through a traumatic experience”, “it’s not my fault i have a chemical imbalance” “i can’t control how i feel” etc… the fact is that we can control how we respond to our emotions, thoughts, etc.. I could go super in depth but it’d take me ages. To keep it simple, we all become too comfortable with being depressed and feeling sorry for ourselves that we essentially give up on ourselves and we just become lazy asf and go into this sort of cycle. like a bad habit we can’t break. i have so many methods of coping. Fortunately for me, i’ve never been suicidal and never will be. i always tell myself that i would rather go through this and “suffer” than to ever hurt myself, or another person. I have a strong will to live and no matter what difficult thing i go through in life, i will always have a strong will to live. i believe that “struggling” with my mental health all these years has made more resilient. The main coping mechanisms i use to deal with my mental health are, working out and staying busy anyway i can, mentally and physically. Anything that keeps your mind and body busy will be good for your overall mental health.

If there’s one thing I could add, is a statistic I was told from a VA psychiatrist: Statistically, the children of people who commit suicide are 70 times more likely to commit suicide themselves. Not 70%, but seventy times! Not only that, the doc also said that suicides impact grandchildren as well. Of all the talk of Soldier suicides, I never once heard this statistic (maybe I missed it in a briefing, but still… message maybe sent, but not received). Numbers like this should make anyone pause and reassess themselves.

I thought, at first, that the deaths of some family members was to blame for my drinking, but after I started to recognize some patterns in my life, I realized that I was just being weak. I was a blackout every night, drunk, until one day I'd had enough of what looked back at me in the mirror. I quit drinking on January 17, 2017.

Six years sober is awesome and hope for many more. I never got in trouble sober either, its nice to wake up not having to hear, "do you know what you did last night?"

A very important message at this time of year. You are not alone, you are not the only one thinking those thoughts. Everyone is having good times and bad times but keep on having the chance to have time be it good or bad. Time heals.
