[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16297235, member: 191643"] Not trying to offend, but to call a person's individual reaction to changing life situations weak or lacking strength somehow without really knowing anything about that person seems like total guesswork and full of crap. Don't buy into that! What you are describing sounds like the most normal reaction ever to such a large life shift. That said, only you know what a toll it is taking on you personally. If the situation is in any way threatening to overwhelm, google 'clinical depression' and see if the symptoms fit. Although I never joined the military and am further disqualified by being Canadian I think I can identify with your situation. I owned my company from an early age. Worked 7 days a week. Had huge swings of fortune through bad times and good. Great triumphs with winning jobs and some, luckily few enough, big losers as well. Sold the business at 40, retired and thought I'd live the 'good life'. Couldn't believe it when I started moping, got lethargic and bored. How could I miss that rat race? Lucky for me, I stumbled onto golfing daily and hang gliding and a few other diversions and it took care of itself. It was only when one of my daughters was diagnosed with depression that I was able to put the similarities together and realize that I had exhibited really common and typical symptoms myself. She got some professional help and had an amazing positive turnaround. If there's any chance you might fall into the same sort of category, save yourself a ton of worry, time and effort and go talk to an expert. Also, don't even think of buying a hang glider. They are dangerous and no good. Today everyone uses paragliders. Way better. Good luck, man. You deserve a good and happy life and I sincerely hope you get it. [/QUOTE]
