text: You were not alone then; you are
  not alone now. There are 20 million vets who would give their lives for
  you. PLEASE, don't take yours.
  After a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel frightened, sad,
  anxious, and disconnected. But if the upset doesn't fade and you feel
  stuck with a constant sense of danger and painful memories, you may be
  suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can seem like
  you'll never get over what happened or feel normal again.
  This is why we have created the "buddy-buddy" program. Veterans
  like you, who have shared a similar experience or trauma in one of our
  nation's many conflicts, are available to talk with you openly and
  privately and help you deal with issues associated with your experience.
  If you are struggling, if you are in pain, if you just need to talk, please call.
