The mental health providers don't give a fuck. 99% of the time they think you're lying about what's goin on with you.

Best advice for a Veteran is to get away from the VA and find help elsewhere. The mental health program there is a recipe for suicide. Been there dealing with it.

Me and my husband was just talking about that. I had no idea until I started going with him. They don't care and it's sad.

It's very hard to find good therapy. The AIMS app is a little old, but you can start making better habits.
Free App.
Try to get community care.
One thing I noticed is that going to a more liberal area may help.
That may not work for some states.
Lastly, I would go to Church, wherever they have life groups.
North Coast Church is online with sermons, homework from what the sermon was. I went to church for the first time- after going to my military schooling.

Sometime people lie to themselves.

I’m going through hypnotherapy school specifically because I want to help veterans who are suffering because it’s not fair that they risk their life for our freedom but yet they can’t get free from their demons

[@lisaeaker9064]

@@t.f.3305 thank you I’m now trying see how I’m able to provide equine therapy but in a different way for them because if take a broken hero and a broken horse and leave them be I guarantee amazing things will happen

For the Flint clinic try 4 to 5 weeks of wait time! If you want a real diagnosis of medical condition good luck, all they can handle is basic preventative care....
