Richard's Story
- Richard, RAF veteran
At just 20, Richard had served on the frontline in Iraq and Kuwait. It left him with devastating PTSD. But with help from Combat Stress, he’s now looking to the future.
Richard says he’s the total opposite of the person he was after returning from the Gulf.
“Since undergoing treatment, I’m able to look back and analyse things. I understand now that I had to do things I didn’t agree with but it was what I was trained to do. “I’m so grateful for all the help and advice Combat Stress has provided me – I’d be six feet under without their support. It’s been amazing to turn my life around. I’m able to survive day to day now and when things start to go awry, I know what I need to do before I get to a really bad place."
