Hi, my name is Brian. I am a 33 year old veteran currently living on an air mattress. Due to trauma and depression associated with my military service, I am currently going through a divorce. My wife decided she couldn't handle my issues any more. So, on June 6th, I attempted suicide. Luckily, I was stopped by a police officer before I could pull the trigger. I felt empty, alone, and like I was a burden on my family and friends. Sadly, those feelings have not changed. I have no money, as I have been cut out of the bank account. A car that barely runs, with no car insurance, and no place to call my own. I can't get a job, due to my issues, and SSDI and VA take time to process. I am afraid I don't have the time. I have attempted to put a loan on my car, asked for grants, and turned every direction I can think, but I have gotten little assistance. I feel abandoned by the system. Though, I know I have many people trying their best. So, here I am, on my final option. Asking stranger's to help. I know there are many people in this world that are much worse off than I am, and don't expect any special treatment, but I have to try. Everyone tells me to keep moving forwards, hurry up and wait, the system just takes time. Unfortunately, as I said, I don't have any more time. I am out of directions to turn.
