If those pictures are making you depressed... Have you talked to your base counselors? Don't be ashamed if your experiencing PTSD. I suffered from bouts of depression for many years until it was diagnosed in my early thirties. Its not a good state to be in. And you don't have to live like that. There's help out there.

Dear TRM,

I hope you are doing well after your deployments.

If those pictures are making you depressed…
Have you talked to your base counselors?
Don’t be ashamed if your experiencing PTSD.
I suffered from bouts of depression for many years until it was diagnosed in my early thirties. Its not a good state to be in.
And you don’t have to live like that.
There’s help out there.

Please don’t hide your feelings.
