[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16298953, member: 193575"] "the transition" is a weird thing to say. dude, look you've been told the same thing like nine different ways from a variety of dispositions and levels of empathy. you need to quit acting like everybody else in the world doesn't go through transitions. it sounds like you built your entire identity around your job and now you can't go to work anymore and have no idea what to do with yourself. i think maybe you need to consider the possibility that you maybe made a life choice you regret or maybe along the way made a few and you wish you would've invested more in other areas. areas that could have bore fruit by now. what I've noticed is that the guys willing to give the most compassion are dudes that have never been shot at because the guys who did duty that required them to be in harms way HAD to grow up REAL fast or die. we all do this thing where we envision things to be more glorious when we haven't gone through them. we do it with cars and then we own it for a little bit and that dream car turns into another project or thing to trade in. maybe this transition being such a huge problem for you is because you went a couple decades without any. then bam, your entire world is gone, and now you're trying to figure out what to do with all this time on you hands. in the time you spent in the military I grew up, started a career, was laid off, changed careers, got married, had two kids, bought two houses, and had more adventures than i could count all while having to figure out how to do all of that because nobody was there to give me orders. you had a job you liked. now you don't have that job. its time to move on. your life is great. figure out how to live it. or don't.
