Yeah. When you're suffering from PTSD, it's like everyone
around you, you have like a major field
around you, a force field.
It's pushing everyone away.
You know, do I dare ask him this question
or is he gonna jump at my throat?
There are so many different scenarios,
it's hard to explain really, but someone that's suffering
from it would understand what I'm trying to get across,
that people will avoid you instead of come
to you like they used to.
In that sense, you just keep pushing people away from you,
and that's what happened with my friend that committed suicide.
He was pushing away all his good friends,
and then once he needed the help,
he didn't feel he could call anyone
because he burned every bridge, and then he ends
up taking his own life, which wasn't the answer.
It's get the help and work through things.
And if you've burned bridges, you know, get out there,
apologize, and let them know, "Hey, I'm just not
in the right mind right now.
I'm trying to work things out.
Help me through it.
I'm getting help at the VA or what not."
Try getting all that back 'cause a lot
of times you don't realize what you're doing to others.
If others are telling you you're being in a certain way,
it's time to stop and take a look at yourself
and change things for the better.
