Not sure how to make this as short as possible-
I've been on here for several years and I used to be REALLY sick. Nearly ruined my marriage, cut myself a few times, broke a TV, drank myself to sleep WAY too many times, and wouldn't leave the house for three weeks at some points. Panic attacks were at the level I would almost pass out. Drooled. Did tons of therapy, found a job that is insanely physical but has a great team of small group of people I almost consider family. I come home too tired to even stress if I could. Life is good. I feel the best I've felt actually. Then my husband leaves this morning for a work trip, and I say hey, why not go to an awesome Mexican restaurant, get a drink, some food. Even felt comfy enough to shoot the shit with people around me. (this comes into favor later) Here walks in @ 30 min a guy saying not only are we in his spot at the bar and I joke saying you'll fit in fine, but just starts spouting how many times he's been kicked out, how he was even dismissed from Hells Angels because he was too insane and too hardcore. He mentioned he did two tours in the military and what he did was absolutely inhumane. That he is a killer and will always be a killer. Then starts asking where I live and how he doesn't like this place. I know people are from very different places and countries here, but where I am from there are shootings like every month and I do NOT live in the ghetto. He then started shoving shots down the guy and my throats, and he finally walked away from us to look at his bike outside and I immediately said, hey, can you make sure we get out of here safe? this guy is scaring the crap out of me- we formed a plan and got out safe while we had to keep trying to either distract him or calm him down. I literally didn't know if I was going to leave there in one piece and I've been in some really sketchy places before.
I really just wanna get people's experiences, opinions, on both if this has happened to you on the other side and as well that I REALLY feel that we need to have better and maybe even required mental health options for veterans. This poor guy was a 350-375 lb. sitting time bomb. I think this is unfair to our men and women who take on the crap they have to and protect our countries to only get the shaft once the hard part is over. The people dying from the 9/11 clean up with no insurance is KILLING ME.
