A friend of mine named Syrmor Shiraz also know as just “Syrmor” on Youtube is a interviewer who speaks to many people online in a therapy session atmosphere. He has 1.1 million subscribers and for some reason. I see him as a unofficial therapist who actually listens and has also helped Veterans talk about their lives and what they live with which is close to me. Of course he has talked to many other people from around the world but I wanted to share some videos of Syrmor and fellow Veterans about their life, what they went through, and how life is now. I have done my best to cue up certain parts of videos to get right right to the points I wanted to share. Feel free to watch the entire videos to learn more.
These videos contain course language and content that deals with suicide (Chris refers to it as self-delete) that may not be suitable for everyone.
