Seriously, if not the whole thing, at least some parts of it. I am good 8 days a year. That is my annual visit to the psych ward, Fayetteville NC VA. I joke with the nurses. I tell them that the only thing missing is a heated swimming pool. Then I would be there permanently. They tweak my meds and I am fine as long as I am in there. I am not a combat vet. It just hit me at age 21. Doctor told me that if you are going to go crazy that is the time it usually starts. So even though the military didn't have anything to do with it, since I was on active duty I am covered for life.
