Wish there was something like this here.
Great handle - Black Dog!
I think they (Black Dog) organize a fund raiser ride from all the capital cities in Aust to Ayers Rock annually. Quite a few celebrities and politicians participate and use their notoriety to promote the cause and raise money.
 
Mate my Sister has suffered from Bi-Polar for over 20 years , sad seeing her deteriorate over time , i also have many former collegues from the Military and when i used to work in the Middle east as a paid Opperator that suffer varying degrees of PTSD. I also have times when it jumps up and bites me on the ass , usually when least expected.
 
Been through it myself , , , fortunately not so serious I ever considered doing myself in.
It does pop up now and then as @Wrecka stated. As I wear out with age, the PTSD seems to age and diminish as well.
