Did you happen to catch the news features on recently, soldiers who are returning home—only to sadly end up committing suicide? It’s a problem so many communities are facing. Here, at home, 2-1-1 has added a suicide hotline designated for soldiers who are in need of counseling. The Strong Health Medical Center Dept. of Psychiatry and the national Veteran’s Administration joined forces with 2-1-1 to create this suicide hotline. Our soldiers have given so much for our country. I’m thankful 2-1-1 is here around the clock to help them when they need it most.
If you haven’t already checked it out- read my other blog about a visit I made to the
2-1-1 Call Center to learn more about the other services they offer.

I'm a Army vet that constantly cant sleep..I have taken a rather sharp quick snap attitude and paranoia...for a while i was drinking heavily to fade out the stress and anger and depression...stopped working so i got into pills...the army like to many other soldier's discharged me as a general discharge so i wouldn't be able to get medical help...i have taken to cutting a lot recently in a way of relief but all the while i have to fight with everything i have not to kill myself....
