Do you feel like you have an "out" if things get out of control?

What methods do you have to cope with homecoming and the stressors of daily life? Do you have a network of genuine friends? Do you have reservations to seeing Behavioral Health? Have you heard of the Vet Center? Called the Veterans Crisis Line? Taken someone directly to the ER?

My wife and family helped out a lot along with some really good friends that were in the unit I was in (still good friends with them to this day). As far as Behavioral Health (BH) is concerned, it should never been seen as a weakness going and seeking help. I've been in the BH system for almost 12 years now and they have helped me through some tough times. What I think is the issue is getting people to understand is if you are hurting and need help, ask. Something I always tell my Soldiers is that I am my brothers keeper.

My hope is that it never gets that bad. If it does, but talk to those I trust and love me. Friends and family. It helps.
