Lost. (SW said the title is too short.)

Former service personnel are treated appallingly and it's not right.

No recognition of the effects of what they're being asked to do nor admission of knowing this would be the case, until it becomes obvious and even then it's down to the injured party to prove their case to people in power who don't care.

It's dehumanising and unfair.

For what it's worth, thank you for your service.
Whether you know it or not your efforts made the world feel a little safer for the rest of us, even if we don't say that as often as we should.

It's good that you're doing something that helps fellow veterans. Even if it is 'just answering the phone'.

I sincerely hope life improves and you find a way forward that is positive in every aspect of life.

I’ve been lost for the past two years. I just drink as much alcohol as I can while saving up as much money as possible. Basically have no friends and I’m single. Don’t get along with my family either.

Makes it less bearable or more bearable?

It's important to be part of your family...in whatever way you can.
