On today's episode I feature a guest who faced mental health issues and overcame them. Joel Pitman is a Veteran from Iraq and we discuss Suicide and Mental Health. He is very passionate about the Wounded Warrior Project. https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/
Listen to the compelling story of this veteran who returned from Iraq and knew he didn't quite feel right. He tells his story about how he planned to commit suicide and what stopped him. Yesterday is already written but tomorrow is not. Never make a permanent decision based on something temporary. Never park your car at a place of deep disappointment. Know there is more for you and there is help out there to get you back to the right perspective on everything.
For those in crisis: if you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
