When I first got out of the military I wasn’t sure quite where to go or what to do, I had a plan and I executed it but it wasn’t like it was easy. Waking up one day and the last decade of your life doesn’t really matter anymore. The combat is gone, leading soldiers has vanished, I slept past 5 AM with no feeling of anxiety. I smoked a little weed. I still had an overall feeling of what the hell am I doing? “I'm free, I’m a human again” I exclaimed! Why did I still feel trapped? Why did I feel depressed, isolated, nervous of the future and the present and well the past. I would later on see a therapist, two years too late actually. This started my journey on helping veterans get help, but how do I do that? I started a podcast to reach thousands of people, I made attempts to check on friends from service. I started to connect with projects like Headstrong, Green Beret Foundation, Veterans Community Project, etc. This, I felt was my calling. To get the word out. We sat down with Matt McCoy from the Headstrong Project/Get Headstrong to talk about veteran mental health, the process that they take to help veterans and Matt’s own personal journey with mental health. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!
