My name is John Nightingale and I was diagonsed with PTSD 4 years ago and did not believe it for the first three of those 4 years. An event last year finally tipped me over the edge and I have been in freefall ever since. I always bounced back, always rehabilitated myself after a crisis but this time my mental strength was just gone.

I am from London but moved to Ireland to start yet another new life and it was yet another mistake in a long list. I am separated from an aggressive alcoholic ex-wife and from my 2 children whose mother kicked them out of her house and onto the street and are in care as a result and I am too all over the place to be able to even think about them. Them going into care was the thing that pushed me over the edge. Dealing with this condition with no friends or family has been and is a total nightmare.
