**I'm hijacking my profile to speak up about something very important**
Suicide and self-harming behavior by those who've served in the military is far more important than an introduction. If you know someone who is struggling, please reach out to them. Arm yourself with information about combat PTSD, the VA system, outreach programs and healthcare facilities in your area. YOU can save a life.
If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to send me a message. I am not affiliated with the VA, any government institution or any other organization. I do not accept payment nor am I licensed in any state. I'm an OIF Veteran's wife and I have been down this road for many years and picked up a sociology degree along the way.
My daily life puts me face-to-face with a lot of harsh realities, so my posts and interactions seem rather schizophrenic. I bring a lot with me when I respond to things and that can make my thoughts more or less helpful and my social skills better or worse (it's a toss-up.) TS3 gives me a healthy outlet where I can play out all of the interesting perspectives I see when I see people gathered. My favorite color is purple. I like building ugly square houses that suit the people inside. One day I'll finish my version of Lucky Palms...
