I just completed two tours in Iraq. Although I have been away from home for several years and have experienced frightening things... I'll be alright. Once I see my family things will be great.
I have been home for three months and I can't seem to relate to anyone. I feel like a stranger in my own home. My family complains that I have mood swings and appear to be isolated, but I am just fine.
It's been really rough, no one understands how I feel. I am having difficulty at home and it's been six months and I still can't find work
Everyone keeps telling me go to my local VA they can help me, but that system is hard to navigate. How would I schedule an appointment? Plus I am a soldier, I'm not weak I can handle this.
I've been home for a year, my family has fallen apart. I have no job, no home and I have started drinking to deal with the pain. I feel so alone, there's nothing here for me, I have nothing to live for.
