Hello all. Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, but I've been struggling with severe pain and PTSD symptom's. Here is the prologue for my next book. The name of the book is " The Invisible Wound."

Will I survive...or
will I die by my own hand

My heart seeps violent memories, yet no one see's the blood. The war in
Afghanistan slashed my heart, marred my soul, poisoned my mind, yet the limp in my body is the only visual evidence of my wounds.
My daily anguish
is invisible to those around me. My family still doesn't understand why I can't keep it together...
why I can't stay calm in crowds...or worship in church...without
throttling up for a fight. My demons are with me always.
They invade my rest and assault my sleep...often jarring me into full combat mode.
When I try to just sit...and relax, sometimes a faceless terrorist reaches for my
throat to kill me. At night, as I lay in bed, sometimes I hear the enemy surround
my home. I slip out of bed, and lurk through the darkness. I check doors;
double check windows and security alarms; and slowly pick up the weapons I would use to defend myself if someone set an ambush for my life.
I often confine myself to my guest room
to hide my torment from those I love. I see them suffer because of what I have become.
I do want to live...like a normal person...to experience times of peace or joy. Yet, war lurks in
the shadows of my tortured existence. Will I heal? Will I survive? Or
will I die by my own hand?

Please take time to look at my campaign, it is a no-profit thing and is to help reduce the su***de rate from 22 veterans a day killing themselves as much as possible. The video doesn't go into too much detail, but the campaign written story breaks down why I need the money and what it's for. Let's make this go viral!

Emotional wounds from war are real. 22 U.S veterans comment su***de each day because they either can't get help for their emotional and moral wounds, or are so wrapped in the darkness of war that they fail to see any value to their lives. I am putting a short video together that address the real...
