After spending the past year traveling with Troops First Foundation Opperation Warrior call speaking about the importance of your mental health, I began to feel more and more like a fraud for knowing and preaching the value of mental health while I neglect my own.
Finding the right words and advice to give to impressionable younger troops started to feel like a daunting task. That feeling grew until it started to feel absolutely impossible. I genuinely was beginning to wonder if I was on the right path. Like so many, I faked the smile and pushed on until even that smile got heavy.
Ironically my phone decided to wait until the WEEK I started therapy again to show me what depression and dogs look like. The universe is a funny place. As I gather my thoughts for our upcoming Warrior Call trip to speak with some Marines in Az and 29 Palms (🤬) I’m eager and hopeful that when the time comes The right words will find me. 🇺🇸
