Thank you for your support.
Mate, I hope things are easier for you now. I was a Bootneck throughout the 70's. Lost my eldest daughter to a brain tumour earlier this year. Life can sometimes be a bastard. Use your family and buddies as your crutch. Best wishes and Good luck Royal.
❤️🙏🏽
Ah man, that’s brutal. I’m sorry for your loss. From one stranger to another I wish you peace
It is okayy to not be okayy
💚👍...🕊️🤝
I hope hes doing well now everything heels it just takes time

those aren‘t pictures you‘ll ever get out your head sadly. Veterans are veryvery alone with their thoughts it‘s pretty hard for someone to show understanding if you weren‘t ever in combat.
These men who are willing to speak about their PTSD and struggles are stronger than anyone can truly appreciate without being in their shoes.
ET. You’re as brave as a lion. I hope your struggles are getting easier. Thanks for all you’ve done.
God bless you ET. I wish you all of the success in your next chapter post corps
What a brave man 👍🏻respect .
Absolutely !great respect for all Veterans 🇬🇧 🕊️...this is very hard work... Greetings from 🇵🇱🕊️🤝
Self destruction brother, I hear that, was on telic 10 and herrick 4 in nowzad with 2RRF, it affected me alot later in life though nearly 10 yrs after the fact, but your experiences were similar to mine with the ptsd, having your woman by your side who understands is a massive plus. Hope you carry on improving. All the best fella.
Sorry for your brothers in arms who didn't make it home and hats off for your strength and showing oeople its ok to ask for help and not be ok and god bless your oartner as my partner aslo stood by me and still does to this day loyalty is not question in my eyes its a must without it you have no foundation god bless all the oeople who support people with not only veterans but all people there should definitely be more help for oeople struggling

Heres hoping theres been a lot more recovery since this 1st appeared...
Thank you for your service.
💞✌️🙏
Unreal that so many have to go through this.
It's because of men and women like this, the public are safe. We NEED to help them,they've done more for us than we can ever do for them but we MUST do something, Remberance day is coming up, due to covid-19 there won't be so many people out selling poppies,but there still available in supermarkets etc. PLEASE buy one. Every £ helps.
Heartbreaking watching this guy,god bless you stay strong.
I’m suicidal every day good days bad day indifferent days... whether I’m asleep, awake walking or smiling the thoughts of suicide doing myself in are still there. Not a marine but a medically discharged infanteer.
You seem very strong! I don’t remember what happened to me... the fight for you was different to my fight! I remember very little
@@MrRambo438 head injury due to ied (frontal lobe damage) executive brain dysfunction which makes things pretty bloody difficult. I have the sleepless nights, waking up in hot sweats and stuff but I don’t have flashbacks. Hope you’re winning your fight pal!
Do some research on THC and CBD treatment. Warrior's have used it for thousands of years. Mike tyson won't visit a country if he can't have it. It works but frowned upon nowadays.
Hi bro just seen your post how are you doing have you heard of the warrior program I'm ex rgj suffered from ptsd for years the program helped me i know you have a head injury but it still might help you
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. You can contact the Veterans Gateway 24hrs a day. Contact details can be found here www.veteransfoundation.org.uk/support-page/ Stay safe & strong.
Ive been dealing with ptsd for nearly 20 years on my own, and its been hell. I didnt serve, and I have no real emotional support like family and friends I can turn to. Over the past 3 years Ive lost my dad, my uncle, my grandparents, my brother, and my best friend. The rest of my family doesn't speak to me and all my "friends" have vanished. Just recently my dog that I raised from 8 weeks old and was training to be my ptsd dog was killed 2 weeks before his first birthday. Im not writing this for pitty, I just want others to know if you do have friends and family you can talk to, or even a veterans group, youre lucky. Dont take it for granted. If youre reading this and dont have ptsd, but no someone who does, reach out to them. Trust me, they will be happy to hear from you and know you care. Sometimes all we need is to know someone loves us, cares enought to be in our lives, and is willing to just listen to us.

Thanks for fighting for our freedom. Sorry that u have problems now! All the best for u and ur lads! Thanks from the Netherlands! 👍👋
Absolute hero
I had been at rock bottom and feeling suicidal a few years back, i could not see a way out of the crisis. I decided to pray to Jesus and God, every day, repenting my sins and asking for help. This really helped me, to have someone to talk to and ask for help, and for me, I really did start to find and witness things happening, or maybe what other had said, for me to actually see how things could, and did, improve. I fully believe and witnessed first-hand, the power of prayer. I hope this will help anyone out there, who feels they cannot see a way out. 🙏
It’s taken me 73 years…100% ptsd Vietnam combat vet…7th ARVN rangers ..377th combat engineers
Thanks for your service brother respect and love for you
Absolutely heartbreaking but on the other hand encouraging to see you talking about you journey. God bless you mate, mental health is no joke.
Wat a hero is your wife, to stay on your side, tro this all, i pray for you m8

I saw he was wearing a Tatami shirt I really hope that is still training BJJ
To think in Vietnam a average company lost more then that is crazy
He needs Jesus, only then he can be at peace; he has been traumatized by war and his conscience is troubled. No amount of medicine will fix that. He needs The Christ The Son of God. Keep helping the vets with money aswell, as their needs need to be met. God bless you.
Yes indeed. He should watch The Bible Way To Heaven by Pastor Roger Jimenez.

Make sure when you go to war, it is not because you are protecting someone’s wallet.
Haha that's what you get when you sell your soul to the devil
