  • Hey Hi and hello friends.
    I am truly sorry that I have been absent for so long. I was just overwhelmed with the wave of kindness and contributions from all of you and I needed to take some time off to get my head straight.
    But each and every one of you has been so amazing and I can not properly articulate my thanks to all ya'll.
    Here is a quick boring update video of how things have been going with my mental health, my treatment, and how things are going with the application process to the Wounded Warriors project.
    I hope y'all are able to get through my boring talking and that you enjoy the video.
    Thank you each of you for being there for me through all of this it means so much to me.
    And YES, there IS corny music involved, because I'm a corny person!

      You help so many people and not just those in your videos. You've helped so many to understand and accept those who may not have felt that before. Just like Daniel. I still don't understand why they won't allow comments on your videos . They're was so much positive feedback from so many.

He ultimately succumbed to his mental illness from excessive drinking and ended up burning himself alive one day after passing out. It's amazing to me how many of our vets are left untreated because our broken VA system. But I am very glad that you survived and are living! People truly do want to help and offer support. I pray that you will continue to move forward and not backward. We all want to see you succeed in life. God bless!

    One of the many reasons you don’t need to apologise is that instead of replying you spent the time doing what you needed to do, even if that was eating Doritos! I imagine spending the time replying was the last thing you needed in those moments - it often is for me. You may wish you had spent your time differently, but you will have done what you needed to at that time. The fact that you are focussing your efforts on improving, getting yourself in a place where you want to be, is the very best use of your time and energy. The very best. And we can’t use time twice! I don’t think anybody writing you a message of goodwill expects a reply. We all want you to use the time you have to your best advantage. So lovely to hear from you, and I hope these steps forward are a source of strength for you.

I needed a letter that would allow me to work from home because being around masked individuals was causing me anxiety. + other things - my job (government) forced me into leave and a week later had to resign all because the VA medical system refused to help me with a legitimized letter that would have allowed me to work from home (which i have done before) but instead they wanted to drug me as soon as possible. and had to wait 6 months for an appointment... disgusting healthcare system. however Im glad Daniel is getting good help!

    Hey, i have a good advise for night terrors and sleep paralysis, try to start moving the tips of your fingers and/or toes, when you feel you are getting there start trying to start moving more muscles, feet, fingers, hands knees, it helps your brain to wake up, i've suffered from sleep paralisis since i was 8 years old, so if you try it may help you with that, maybe me saying this is not of great help, but just a tip, take so much care of yourself, we love you and support you in any way we can, even if we don't know you, 'cause some of us can relate, thank u so much for letting us see your reality trough your eyes and for staying here with us, much love...(english is not my first language, sorry if i misspelled anything)

      I have sleep paralysis from time to time (among many of my sleep disorders), and the only way I've ever been able to get "out" of it was to basically thrash myself around until I finally move. The panic that comes with it is so overwhelming, that I've never even thought of trying something as small as just trying to wiggle my fingers or toes first. Thanks for sharing this advice! Next time, I'm going to try and calm myself and try that! :)

During a super bad time after my most recent trauma, i went from panic attacks every 30 minutes to employed when i got the right combo. Then when i lost coverage i had to wait a month to get onto a charity to pay for my $500+ a month cocktail. I lost everything and the collateral damage was hard to undo but thankfully a full year on my cocktail, putting some of my grief to bed and ending a concurrent legal battle i had, I'm finally ok. Full time employed and managing my mom's terminal cancer as well as anyone could. As he said, sometimes it's ok to do things for other people if the end result is the same.

In those moments I ask someone close to tell me ”get in the shower and tell me when you’re done” and that never fails. I get it done.
