This can also include Men and Women who fought in combat, first responders who witness the horrors of crime and seeing others, like coroners, who found people who were found dead days or weeks later.
My sister had PTSD, in my opinion, added by her abortion she had and living in a staunchly pro-life family and later having her infected cervix removed made her feel she had killed her only chance for an unborn child. She compensated with having 5 or 6 dogs and calling them her kids. She also had substance, painkillers (Prince died from Fentanyl pain killer) and alcohol abuse. She had anger management problems and if she disagreed with you she was against you and told you to F off and hung up. If you called back, she put on the fax machine.
Her 3rd husband serving her divorce papers and leaving her to be by herself since she was hated by her sister in law did not help.
My sister killed herself on the 4th of July, 2015. Stay sober, seek help, if you have PTSD, drinking beer is still a drinking problem. My sister said she had been to AA but she drank beer but 1 beer is the same as a glass of wine or a shot of whisky. No difference at all!

SGT Robert George - Thanks for you empathy Robert but the military has a drinking and drug problem that compounds PTSD issues and we lose about 35 a month to suicides. My sister had her own PTSD skeleton but being alone, drunk and not all there is very much like many who were veterans and hang themselves like my sister did. Sobriety helps people deal with reality better than escaping to drugs to give one the idiocy of killing themselves. The real victims are the survivors!

This is also so very true. My brother suffers PTSD and it has not always been his main issue. His main issue that caused him to try suicide twice did so not because of drugs or alcohol. Actually with all the horrors of vietnam, the demon he took home with him caused him to feel so alone and empty inside to that point of suicide was his grief. The grief of losing a baby girl he adopted in Vietnam. As he handed the baby over to the helicopter pilot, to come home to the states with us, in a split second he turned to go back and get his bags, when the helicopter had been blown up behind him. There were no survivors. My brother told me once War is nothing compared to the loss of a child, because when you lose the child you lose everything about you. War made him he said, to be who he is now , a strong intelligent kind hearted man, who hold his honors true. and if he had to do it again, he would.
So I see now its not so much of one thing in general. It can be many combinations as well that cause suicide in our military men and woman..
TY so much for these answers its very enlightening.

Some of us have internalized so much pain that suicide becomes to us, a viable option. That is when we are so lost and down that we can't see up anymore. We need the don't hurt yourself message from someone or a few words of encouragement, someone who has the ability to put us on our feet again. This is from experience.

Now I know. When one is completely broken and can't see a fix in sight, sometimes they give up. It's selfish but they can't see us, they are blinded by their pain. We become secondary or nonexistent.
