Suicide

[betrayed]

If your 100 P&T and 70% is for depression would suicide be service connected death? What benefits would a spouse receive?

I am so pleased that sixthscents has sent you a letter.

Do take care. I am here if you need me.

Jim, There are several lakes in Michigan that are acessable. It would be great if you can make it to Lake Saint Claire. The Smallmouth Bass fishing there is excellent. I wish I did not live so far away or I would come up there and take you fishing. I know Michigan has a fishing season and it may be too early.

I have several friends that live there and I can get you a guided trip on oneo of the bass lakes if necessary.

Betrayed,

No two ways about it, hallucinations suck.

Just read your website and your treatment by the VA is beyond comprehension.

I feel totally inadequate to offer you any advice but I do want you to know that I respect that you are doing the best that you can and I pray that you will continue to try to hold it together for your sake and your wife's sake.

Is the VA your only treatment option? Is private medical care available through your wife's insurance an option?

How about the local mental health department? They operate on a sliding fee scale here and if you are feeling suicial they will get you in same day to talk to a real doc who can asses you and help you find a treatment facility. You may be a vet but you're also still a citizen of whatever county and state you live in.

Any hospitals in your area that are non-profits that would have to admit you if you present suicidal ideation?

Have you or your wife contacted any private mental health facilities in the area and let them know you are a disabled vet (ask them to read your website) and checked to see if they might waive all fees?

I am grasping at straws for you but something other than VA may be a better answer for you right now to get you over this threatening time.

Please hang in there. Know that you are a valued member at hadit.com and your buddies here (especially those of us who have fought the same mental health battles you are fighting) would be devastated beyond words if you were to check out early.

You and your family are in my prayers.
