Hello and welcome.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

My Personal story

My name is Brian. I am a Scottish army veteran who suffers from PTSD anxiety, depression, and nervous debility

In 2016, I completed A 6 weeks ( ITP ) Intensive treatment program at combat stress, in Ayr, Scotland which is designed for veterans suffering from mental health problems. While in the army I attempted suicide and took an overdose selfharm and alcohol abuse - due to the unknowing and the lack of knowledge of my mental health issues and how I could cope with these inner problems. Suffering from PTSD can be difficult at times. It takes a special kind of person to understand how to handle someone who tends to fall into "a dark place" and re-lives traumatic experiences.

Lucky for me, I found that person almost 14 years ago and am so grateful to have her at my side when I need her the most. Thank you for loving me and never feeling that I'm just too broken!

My aim

Is to deal with the daily stulruggles that I face and use the tools that I have taken away from my Recovery Program at combat stress. I deal with my mental health issues - by making paracord bracelets as a way to distract my mental health and zone out.

Donations are made from the sales of my support bracelets online to a wide range of charites these include -

CHAS

POPPY SCOTLAND

COMBAT STRESS

DOWNSYNDROME SCOTLAND

SCOTTYS LITTLE SOLDIERS

CANCER UK

RBLS

all charitys have granted me permissions and have me on record.

With your help and donations, this helps me build up supplies and expand my paracord bracelet hobbie in return donations are made putting funding back into the system. Not only will this help me this will help a lot of other charites people and veterans in the same position as myself.

Below are a few pictures of myself - and my paracord bracelets art and paintings.

Below are some of my canvas paintings
