😢😢😢😢 My veteran friend has PTSD and suffers from a lack of confidence and self esteem; trama does that. He has been put through the ringer and triggered severely by a very abusive relationship. I worry he will take his own life because he has lost all hope. It's been the saddest thing to watch. God is what he needs but he's stuck in flight or fight mode. He needs prayers. Please pray for the "hermit crab". God will know who you mean. I've seen miracles from prayers on this board and my friend desperately needs one. Thank you frens. I know there's a direct line to God in your efforts.
😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏UPDATE😢😢😢😢 Things have gone sideways and I'm hoping to get a diversion to a Veterans Court. Apparently, that's a thing now. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you all for your continued prayers, they are sorely needed. Hopefully this life can be saved.
He can call the VA crisis line anytime. They are there to listen!! They are traumatized vets themselves! They can't fix it, but knowing that a real human being on the other end of the line CARES makes life, at that moment, worthwhile, at least bearable!
NEVER underestimate the power of human caring! or of prayer.
Can't get him to do that yet. Encouraging him to talk to his buddies. They do stay in touch. I figure they'd have better luck than me in that respect. Thank you!
AH! They are his buddies on the other end of the line too!! We ALL ARE! No vet needs to suffer internally, when we can suffer together! HA!
Dial 988 then press one. OH what a relief it is! to quote an old commercial.
Thanks for caring about your fren. I do too. We all do. Let him know that!
Make the call with him. He just needs a little nudge and some support from a fren to get started.
Oh, and show him this thread so he can see how many people are praying for him.
Great idea!
That might work
Prayers sent.🙏🙏🙏
This may sound weird, but see if you can get him to take a round of Fenbendrazole. Often Vitamin C deficiencies and alcohol consumption alter the brain which lead to depression. It's completely harmless and there's a good chance he'll feel better about himself. Maybe even his veteran buddies will want to try it once they see his progress.
Not only this but parasites do affect mood!
Great suggestion!
Praying for your dear friend Hermit Crab! 🙏Father, we know that we are Your beloved Children and ask You lift Hermit Crab upa d give him a reason to live & thrive! 🙌
