    Obviously, it takes courage and commitment to serve one's country. However, I submit that facing one's own demons and helping others to do the same takes some huge cojones. Bravo young man, bravo!

    I felt suicidal at one point, I was on antidepressants in addition my wife left me, I really did not feel like I want to keep living, I eventually overcame my anxiety/panic attacks, no more taking antidepressants but as you have said I suffer/ed from drinking since then. That was the only way for me to cope, I'm now doing my best to stay away from drinking and focus on my faith! It's one of the hardest things in my life worse than divorce to stay away from %... Each time going to shop seeing alcohol is like having easy access to some hard drugs! So yeah wild camping is one of my coping mechanism to stay away from alcohol and the day to day stress!

    No! you are not doing a terrible job! I feel you. In a short time period i have lost some people that is very close to me. My best friend, my beloved uncle and my mother, and a divorce. That broke me to very small pieces!! With help from my family, relatives, friends, work colleagues and proffesional phsycologists..... But what really kept me going was my sons!! I needed to be a father for them!! My way back is what you have said, it is VERY VERY IMPORTANT that you speak with your friends, relatives, proffessionals, coworkers, the guy in the bus stop.... DO NOT THINK YOU ARE BULLETPROOF!!! Speak out!!! There is most certinaly someone who will listen too you!!!!

    Nice to see you do the " show us your steak " challenge and talk about men's mental health . For way too long now there's been this stigma attached to it and I was brought up to keep these things to yourself and keep a stiff upper lip and all that , so with that mentality there's no wonder the rates of suicide in men is that high . Well done and to all who accept this challenge and talk openly about mental health 👍

  • @cathydavis3565
    @cathydavis3565 10 месяцев назад

    Thanks for speaking so honestly. In my case it was early childhood abuse (every kind you can imagine), at the hands of my father and his friends. It started when I was 4 years old and continued for nearly a decade. Except for a few random memories, I buried the whole load of misery until I turned 50 years old. Since then, working through it to reclaim good mental health and a will to wake up every morning has been a horror and probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I had to reach out to a good counselor and admit I needed help. I'm so thankful I did because it saved my life. It's hard work but so worth it. I'm stronger and mentally so much more healthy now. I'm out opening up about it, trying to show people there's hope and a good healthy life after trauma and tragedy. And several camping trips a year definitely help too! Thanks again for being open and so genuine. You're helping others to do the same!

    My grandad was a royal marine commando in ww2. He was a climber before the war, and then after the war he was out every chance he had into the highlands where he'd trained, and then later in the alps. I am told (he died when I was 9) he didn't talk much, and that caused issues with my grandma. Now I think more and more there's a connection between inner turmoil and the big and wild landscapes of the world. Being out there made him calmer, like it seems to make you calmer. If I can't understand how he and you lived under fire I can at least understand that a campfire, a forest, and some silence makes for a bit of peace.

It's good to see you have beaten it , it gives hope to alot of people like myself and I would like to say thank you for what you are doing to help people get through it Thanks.

    Well done Craig. Great listening to you, I don’t believe anyone who leaves the military leaves unscathed. PTSD strikes us all. Some seek help, some get help some just live with it. Not knowing they are suffering a known illness, they struggle through life unaided. Years down the road, they think of their past years and how such a lot of it was wrong and unnecessary. The realisation that ptsd caused life’s problems, the old soldier wasn’t a nutter! Is just a relief. It marks the new beginning. Thank you Craig, for a good vid

I’m from a back ground where your “Weak” if you show any emotion. I once had a Sgt Maj (early 90’s era) call me weak because id hurt my ankle so bad that i was in plaster and on crutches. That shit hit hard… ive still got all my kit, basha, doss bag etc gathering dust in the garage so you’ve inspired to get out into the local woods.Thanks mate.

    Dude...this was great! Being USAF (F-16 and then/now A-10 Crew Chief) for many years and deploying to Balad Iraq, Bagram AFG, al Jaber Kuwait, and Kandahar AFG over a 10 year period I don't really feel like there was much to stress about. We weren't in the sh*t on the air bases, although we were on edge with mortars, rockets, and the occasional 7.62 whizzing overhead...oh, and a 1000lb truck bomb not too far from where I worked in Iraq that kind of shook/scared me. My wife has told me I'm different since the first trip to Iraq, and I still find myself getting angry quickly at times over small stuff. I never thought to talk to anyone about it because, well, I'm Air Force and we have golf courses and nice hotel dorms on bases...lol. About a month off work after each deployment and I was drinking almost every night. I also have found peace by solo camping, and another hobby restoring vintage vehicles like a 52 Ford 8N tractor, 48 Willys CJ2A Jeep, and for giggles a 76 Sachs moped that are all running like new. BTW, steak looked good although I like mine a bit more medium rare...but I'd eat it...lol. Keep on keepin' on my friend.

    Thanks for sharing your journey Craig. From experience, when mental health issues creep in and affect the quality of life, talking is the last thing I felt like doing. Eventually I had to talk and ask for help. It was the only way out, I couldn't do it alone. I've come out the other side, which didn't seem possible at the time. If I could give my younger self some advice I'd say talk and ask for help even if you think you can't, even if you think it's not worth it and even if you think you're not worth it. You are.

    Thanks for opening up. It's always good to find it within to let people in on the journey. I still struggle myself - die die die is in the mind but am dealing with it. If the world won't love you love yourself at least. That's where is starts. Easier said than done but little things each day builds up the light. That video is still open to you if you have the time. Well, here's to you and your friend in spirit. Mark

    Well craig My mental health so far is being without my son leo for 6 weeks now on his 3rd birthday today. I have lost a stone in weight in 3 weeks as it's made me so ill that people can drag such innocent beautiful souls through so much crap. The only thing has kept my mind strong is ur vids brother. I know theres alot of these out there but u are so on my level man and ur vids are so motivating and keeps me strong with an open mind... metal also helps me being a total metal head but Again I thank you for that craig big time. UV inspired me to wanna get out there again and when my boy is home we are going camping! That will be all thanks to you brother. Keep the awsome vids coming and stay safe dude 👊🤙

    Firstly, Craig thank you for your service.
    I'm glad you have your demons under control, we had a few issues with our lad after his tour in Afghan, thankfully family and friends rallied around and helped to pull him through the dark days.
    Because of watching my son go through depression and watching like yourself some of his comrades also committing suicide I try and support veterans charities, Pilgrim bandits and Veterans in Action.
    The VIA team lead by Billy McLeod have a RUclips channel and are always there for ex-service people who need help.
    Keep on keeping on mate stay strong and carry on doing the great videos.
