Concerning Fetterman, I'd like to say something.

41. Proud of Fetterman

Depression is insidious. Three years ago now I had to stop working. In my mid 50s with a great career going, it finally caught up with me. While my PTSD from the service ended me up on VA 100% Disability and SSDI, the Major Depression is the worst. Decades of on and off treatment and all they can do is call it "treatment resistant." I'd try Ketamine if the VA offered it where I live. Just the other day I was very low and had thoughts that were very dark, my dog snapped me out of it and my weekly therapist appointment helped. Even did some crying.

I'm really proud of Senator Fetterman. Going public about something so personal is brave. He will show people that mental health is nothing to be embarrassed about. Whatever the reason for his depression, from family to health to trauma, whatever is underlying it, he's doing a service for all Americans. He is showing even someone battling something like this can do something and contribute. Good for him.
