Hello!! And welcome to a very special episode of the Geoff Jones and Friends, make it Better podcast.

WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!!

There are a lot of topics covered in this episode which some people could find upsetting! Listen to the warning at the start of the episode.

As part of PTSD Awareness day and month I was joined by three forces veteran. The returning comedian and Invictus Games competitor Jay Saunders, his Invictus Games team mate, Rich Waldrom, and comedian Gabe Murphy.

The trio talk about their experiences in the forces which ultimately lead to their PTSD. They speak of their encounters with suicide, their diagnosis, and how they deal with living with PTSD now they are in a better mental space. There's some bad jokes and some dark jokes, but this is all part of what they need to do.

I hope you enjoy this heartbreaking yet heartwarming episode.
