Had I not gone through the VA, I can guarantee you I would not be sitting here talking to you now.

By being on the site, I would think

that you're looking for information.

And if you're looking for information, I can tell you

that the best source

of information is your Veterans Administration.

Talk to these folks, go to a regional hospital,

talk to somebody in the behavioral science area.

You're not committing yourself to anything.

You're there asking them to help you discover something,

discover what will make you better,

discover why you're acting the way you're acting,

discover why you are doing what you're doing.

Doesn't mean you're sick,

it means that you might have a disorder called PTSD

and if that's the situation, they can help you.

And if they can help you, you're only going to better yourself.

I look back where I was three years ago and had I not gone

through the VA, I can almost guarantee you I would not be

sitting here talking to you now.
