I did not know where to start so I went back to the beginning. I will not dump a bunch of stuff on you all, but I wanted to say thank you. My name is Jamie Hassek. Retired Master Gunnery Sergeant with 27 years in and 2 as a retired Marine. I am a combat vet with you name it. Long time wrestler, football player, PTSD, Anxiety, multiple concussion, TBI, depression and the list goes on. I took a hard dive in June. I was crashing. As you know navigating the VA can be rough. All the people in the VA and treatment is great, but when you are down you need to take action as a leader. I started doing some research. Came across you through researching TMS. Jumped in with my own insurance. Got a new counselor out in town trained for people like us and I am currently in my 4 week of TMS. Simply said. Thank you brother.
