speaker. there s really nothing in a single day i could do on my own. and so that became very bad and the idea of suicide overwhelmed me for months and months and i pretty much had a million different ways planned out how i could kill myself but i kept pushing through the rehab and one day i finally got that first prosthetic and that night i got to go home and feed myself. just that little bit of independence, that little bit of freedom was enough to say, okay. i still have a fighting chance again. for many returns vets, their wounds are invisible. take the case of jeremiah workman. he has suffered from severe post traumatic stress disorder for years. he received the navy cross for his valor. he ran repeatedly up the staircase to save marines trapped by insurgents. nightmares. i mean, i would drink a case of beer at night to go to sleep. i was on no medication. i had seen no doctors.
