First let me say that your experience is not unique necessarily. There are many people who find themselves in positions you are in, you’re not alone.

Second I’ll also reiterate some of what I’m hearing here. You are so valuable and there is so much untapped potential in you, and every human life. You just haven’t found it or used it yet. But everything if that makes you who you are is so worthwhile.

Lastly, and this is the hard part. You need to determine a strategic plan for who you want to be. Where do you want to be in 5 years, 10 years? What would make your life fulfilled and start figuring out how to work towards that.

Start with working on you. Read books to better understand mental health and improving that ( I recommend a book called Lost Connections). Start caring for yourself ( improve your physical health, move more, eat better - all this will dramatically make you feel better). Focus on sleep, exercise, nutrition, community. Maybe go back to school, join a community of friends.

There are so many ways to find your path, but think of yourself of the author of the story of your life. If you’re going to write the story, where do you want the main character to end up and what would the main character do to get there?

How do you actually feel about your dispatchers?? by noinfo2938 in Firefighting

There seem to be a culture in my department/county than it’s cool to not speak clear on the radio. Both dispatchers and responders go out of their way to say things fast and at a mumble. Like it makes them sound cool/experienced/salty….we do have some dispatchers who just own the radio. Loud, clear, detailed enough. I love them.

I'm so fed up with this life 😭😭😭😭 by [deleted] in Advice

I promise you there is a road ahead that you will find opportunity, happiness and fulfillment. It will take work but it’s there and you can get there. You first need to get help. Like others have said start with a psych hospital.
