Imagine all of the joy being taken from your life. The things you used to enjoy such as exercising, spending time with family, and playing music no longer interest you. Your new best friend is a bottle of whiskey, and you would rather be in a dark room alone than spend time with friends or loved ones.

These feelings begin to consume your entire life and eventually take you deeper and deeper into a hole that you feel you can never get out of. Death at your own hands may seem easier than continuing on. This is what PTSD looks like among our veterans.
