And too often too many people have this crazy idea that PTSD is only from combat. Let's see you get raped, then laughed at by the cops AS you bleed from the rape; or you get assaulted because some guy doesn't "approve" of your physical disability, and though it's on video the cops do nothing and you have to pay for the medical bills from the assault out of YOUR pocket; or you go to jail for defending yourself from a forced home invasion in a state where it's legal to defend yourself.

I liked your video sir.Everybody deals,with the mental think in different ways.What helped me,was the death poetry of Lincoln.A lot of his poetry,is just madness.I tell people,and show people his poetry,and they can't understand,how someone could overcome that,and get better,and become President.

Interesting song, and ever so easy on the ears. support the state of your head, not the head of state?
