Helping other veterans didn’t mean Tim Grossman was okay.
In this deeply personal moment from The MisFitNation, Army veteran Timothy “Tim” Grossman opens up about experiencing suicidal thoughts while working to help fellow veterans navigate life after service.
He describes reaching a point when his doctors told him he needed to focus on himself and his family—and later seeking support through UCLA Operation Mend, a program he had helped other veterans access.
His story brings an essential question into the conversation about veteran mental health: Who is looking after the person everyone else turns to?
This clip explores veterans advocacy, asking for help, military mental health, and the difficult decision to make room for your own care.
You don’t have to earn support by helping everyone else first. Your life deserves care, too.
