US Iraq War Veteran Shares Her Trials and Triumphs Battling Anxiety and Depression
Depending on the source, it is estimated that eighteen to twenty-two veterans commit suicide in any given day. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the US and the second leading cause for people aged fifteen to twenty-four.
The statistics are shocking but easily pushed to the back of our minds--until the day mental illness hits a little closer to home. Then one suicide is one too many when someone we love is ripped from our lives!
Why do we keep losing family members and friends to this very curable problem?
Retired Master Sgt. Melissa LeGates personally stared down the barrel of that particular question several times in the form of suicidal ideation. She knew it was time to get help when she started asking herself, "Could I hit that telephone pole hard enough to just never wake up again...just to vanish and experience no more pain?"
What brought her to that point?
The easy answer is two tours in Iraq, but there is so much more to her story...
This book is not a ten-step self-help program guaranteed to guide a person out from mental illness in ten days for $10. There isn't a simple fix to get relief from depression, PTSD, and the many other titles we give to mental anguish, but there is hope! This is a story about how one-woman veteran found her way out of the darkness to find her life in Christ. Her message is simple: never stop fighting because mental illness can be defeated by an overcomer in Christ! The good news is that we are all overcomers at heart. It is built into our DNA to not only survive but also thrive!
