Once your clear of the physical scars or they fade you find you are left with others . As a 26 Year old Man i burried these feelings not as well as i thought i Left these unchecked drowning my sorrows and being in denile , 22 Years later after nearly Wrecking a second Marraige i awas given an ultimatum which helped me address my Demons with counceling - I am not about labels but i was diagnosed with PTSD and Depression .

I'm taking part in the Combat Stress Waggy Trails Challenge!
This year I'll be taking on Waggy Trails to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.
I’m taking vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
Thank you so much for your support.
