My friend and I have seen you twice, and will continue whenever you come through.

On to my question: it seems like there is a definite split between the "trio" and "meat and potatoes". Is that accurate, or are you more of a group of five?

I love you all!

What do you suggest for someone who won't seek treatment for PTSD? One of my good friends is living with me after his 6 year enlistment. He's not doing so hot mentally, but when we talk about it he refuses to even talk to anyone at the professional level.

He says he tried when he was enlisted and no one cared, so why try now? I've told him to seek help from the V.A., but he won't.

When he gets drunk he talks more about the unhealthy things he thinks about, like paranoid thoughts. He won't let me leave my front door open (with a security screen door closed and locked) because he's worried someone is listening.

How can I help him? It's tough watching someone go through this. It can't be fun being him right now.
