This hit hard. I’m more likely a just retarded vs ADHD. I’ve never been diagnosed or even accused of being hyper, but my brain travels a thousand miles before the sun even comes up. I can’t journal to combat my PTSD. The VA tries to throw medications at me every single visit so I get defensive hearing about ADHD medications. But I’d like to try something. I was an air traffic controller in the navy, airspace manager of a naval air station after I separated. I loved that job but obviously hate the government war machine so I left once Covid hit. That’s actually when I had my mental breakdown and “woke up”. Now I’m at least happily married and have my first kid, but literally zero clue as to what my purpose in life professionally is. I get hired for jobs but only last 4-6 months because of the absolute loonery in the workplace. I’ve finally realized I need to own my own company but I’m retarded let’s see what happens.
Agree here to a point. Former navy ATC and in my experience there was a big decline right before the budget passed and as soon as they got funds aircraft sorties would be up big. Can’t remember what that time frame was for the new fiscal year besides fall.
I served in the Navy for 6 years as an air traffic controller. I quickly found out that that wasn’t the job for me, I wanted to be more hands on. ATC was and is undermanned in the Navy so I wasn’t able to change rates. When my contract was up I was accepted both by the Air Force and Army for inter-service transfers. Navy wouldn’t sign the transfer. Once I discharged I took work with the government as a contractor for a few years before Covid hit and I left because I wouldn’t get the vaccine. It’s been about a year and a half of wandering since then, working jobs I come to hate because I don’t find much purpose like I did in the military. Pictures like this remind me of what I see in the mirror. Everything happens for a reason because I’d be getting my ass kicked out of the military for not getting vaccinated anyway. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I’m not crying you’re crying.
Please sticky or create a better thread for this. I’d like some more eyes to be on this as the “the storm is upon us” could be related. It could be the scare event mentioned.
Me and my family live in Orlando. Sunday morning I put my wife and 6 month old son on a plane and I drove back to our hometown in western New York with our dog to get out of the way of hurricane Milton. Listening to my gut when I saw the beginning development in the gulf.
Since then I’ve been looking at weather radar maps and saw hurricane Leslie, Kirk, and whatever the fuck the thing on the right is. Im very tired so I don’t know if this is correct or even worth talkingbut the perfect storm in October of 1991 came to mind.
