When I first got out of the military I wasn’t sure quite where to go or what to do, I had a plan and I executed it but it wasn’t like it was easy. Waking up one day and the last decade of your life doesn’t really matter anymore. The combat is gone, leading soldiers has vanished, I slept past 5 AM with no feeling of anxiety. I smoked a little weed. I still had an overall feeling of what the hell am I doing? “I'm free, I’m a human again” I exclaimed! Why did I still feel trapped? Why did I fee...

This is not just a military or veteran issue even though rates of suicide are significantly higher, especially in the male population. Why though? What is so terri...
