Try to realize that your country has many needs, not just combat needs. You can still help and be involved. What about all of the veterans who come back and need help? A job helping veterans would be very meaningful and important. If all you have to look forward to is killing people, then maybe that is something within yourself that needs to be resolved. There are many other ways to contribute.
I get bad paranoid rage when I’m very symptomatic. I never tried to hurt anyone, but once I realized what was happening, I just didn’t want to risk it.
You probably respect Turnip’s advice for reasons I’m unaware of, but in any case …
If you feel strongly about serving your country, then there’s no issue looking forward to doing so. Just accept that you need to get your mental health under control first.
Yeah I’ve caught myself too late just now, but they never said they specifically were interested in combat, I just assumed that, projection problems. Sorry, @Im18now
Bwaahaahahaa. You’re only saying that because you haven’t met Mrs. Pixel. Let’s just say that I discovered what happens when an irresistible impression collides with an unmovable opinion. (Ouch ouch ouchie OUCH.)
This is where I should link us to the other thread titled: Just using one wrong word at the wrong time can change your life in an instant haha
I think sometimes it is blatantly clear that someone’s perception is completely … dismissing lots of offensive words … um … illogical?
Augmenting that notion; I think my own ability to rationalise my delusions made my wife question her own sanity to the point of losing it herself. Fortunately, I eventually lost the plot and became far too radical and extremist and everything balanced back out again in the end.
Nope. Neurotypical, but a smart one, probably smarter than I am. She is very grounded in reality and has exceptional situational awareness bordering on being preternatural.
Once overheard in our home while living in the country:
“Hey hon, you ever miss having street numbers on our home?”
“Yeah.”
“I do, too. We should put some on just for fun.”
“I don’t see why not, uh, NO. No you’re not.”
“What am I not doing?”
“You are NOT putting 666 on our home.”
“Ah, ■■■■, how did you know?!?” “I KNOW.”
Reminds me of the time in my last relationship when my boyfriend told me his experiences in a mental hospital. He thought i’d be shocked. I’m like “yeah, me too…” XD
I think we some how sensed we had something in common before even hooking up. It can’t be just a coincidence.
You don’t want to see how bad it can get when you combine an autistic (me - and I truly mean no offence when I phrase it this way) and a borderline. It’s like two brick walls smashing into one another.
Or for the Start Trek fans, it’d be like putting a Vulcan and a Betazoid in a cage and expecting neither to kill the other. It’s possible, I guess, but … yeah
i helped out here in the uk for the poppy appeal last sept/oct and raised around £60 for that charity which goes towards the care of disabled veterans and what not, i would also love to help them out more directly, there is an office near me where you can get involved and i was asked if i wanted to help out but i wasn’t able to do that at that time, i think if i was asked again i would like to help out.
