While suffering severely with depression and increasing ptsd symptoms I reached out to 3 different VA providers in a 10 day window and was ignored by all 3. I was frustrated at this so I went to the patient advocate office and the door was locked, so I called while standing right there and left a voicemail. They never called me back. I have written to my congressman about this as well, but he's not worth his weight in pennies, so I doubt anything will happen. If you're ever baffled by the fact that we lose 21 vets a day to suicide, look no further than the VA and how they shrugged me off and ignored my requests for help. Where are vets supposed to go when their healthcare providers ignore them? I'm lucky that I had my family to support me through this and keep me from sinking too deep, but not everyone is so lucky. Do better, Minneapolis VA.
