VETERANS OF THE STORM (1)_edited_edited.

The First Suicide Prevention Program for Veterans with ADHD, RSD & Emotional Collapse

Built by a Navy veteran. Backed by lived experience. VOTS fills the gap no one else will touch

Veterans of the Storm (VOTS) is not just another support group—it’s the first program built for veterans like us. The ones who look fine on paper but are falling apart inside. If you’ve been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or silently suffering with ADHD, RSD, trauma, or Operator Syndrome—this is for you. We’re launching a national mission to save lives, restore identity, and catch what the VA keeps missing.

⚠️ Why VOTS Exists

Too many veterans fall through the cracks. They’ve been misdiagnosed, labeled, and left behind. VOTS was built for them—for the ones who don’t “look” like they’re struggling, but inside, it’s a warzone.

  • ADHD isn’t just a childhood issue—it’s killing adults in silence.

  • RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) is misunderstood and untreated.

  • Emotional shutdown is dismissed as “resilience.”

  • Operator Syndrome is real—and invisible to most providers.

VOTS is what happens when someone who’s lived it builds the solution.

Millitary Soldier

MISSION: To save the lives of veterans who were never given the right diagnosis, treatment, or support—and to expose the emotional and neurological collapse hiding behind so-called “high performance.”

NATIONAL PRESS RELEASE: Veterans of the Storm launches the first suicide prevention program for ADHD and emotionally shut-down veterans. Now offering diagnosis services to family and friends for $125 with income-based options. Profits help fund a national scholarship program so veterans outside Alabama can get diagnosed, too.

💣 Let’s Get One Thing Straight About Emotions

I get it—society treats emotions like weakness.
Cry? You're unstable.
Feel too much? You're overreacting.
Lose control? You're the problem.

But here's the truth no one dares to admit:

Emotions are the number one driving force behind murders, suicides, domestic violence, war crimes, and self-destruction.

Not logic.
Not plans.
Not strategy.

Emotion.
Unregulated, dismissed, ignored emotion.

So let’s stop pretending emotion is “soft.”
Emotion is the most dangerous weapon on Earth—
and the most ignored in our mental health system.

Want to fix suicide rates? Treat the emotions.
Want to stop violent outbursts? Understand emotional collapse.
Want to stop punishing people for how they feel?
Start by admitting that unregulated emotion kills.

That’s why Veterans of the Storm was built.
Because for people like us—
emotion isn’t a mood.
It’s a battlefield.

At Veterans of the Storm, we specialize in helping veterans who feel invisible in the mental health system. If you’ve been misdiagnosed or ignored, especially if you struggle with ADHD, emotional shutdown, or Operator Syndrome, you’re not alone. Our veteran-led program provides the support and understanding that standard treatments
