No Sir, he is right. I live in OK, I am 100% disabled through the VA, and the guy in this story needs to man up. I spent a month on the 5th floor at Jack C Montgomery when I hit rock bottom, I have never used illegal drugs, I have never chased my wife with any type of negative intent (can't walk right so I wouldn't be able to catch her anyway), and I don't blame "War" for my failures. I do get a TBI/PTSD rating, that is due to a cyst pushing on the part of my brain that deals with emotion, and I still know what wrong is.
If you can get it through the Behavior Health Department, then I have probably been on it including Lithium, and I am convinced it is all bullshit. Kayaking, cigarettes, and religion did more for me then the VA ever did. You can go ahead and add counseling to the shit list as well. Don't give me that crap about pain either, I can't lift over 40 lbs, I can't walk for more then 10 mins, shit I can't sit for more then 10 mins, and being nauseous from pain medication doesn't make things any damn better. Depression is real, but you don't get over that by sitting on your ass feeling sorry for yourself. Get busy, find a fucking hobby, and stop talking about the past. That is how you move on.
