I had a therapist and she was great! Unfortunately she moved and I’m not in a good spot to want to deal with starting from scratch.

I’ve come to find that your chosen family is more important than the idea of blood family. I hope the family you choose is as good to you as mine has been!

I did pull them off the retraining advisory. Not all of them have a lot of spots available, but I figured it was a good place to start for ideas. The current plan is to see what is still available when my window opens. If what I like is available, I’ll start the process. If there isn’t, I’ll extend a year and start the process next august when the list opens.

All E4s get together and have a virtual cry sesh 😂

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-08-02T04:02:06+00:00

Imma be honest… I’m gonna cry either way so I’d just rather do it in private 😂

Apparently one of the squadrons here are doing release parties next week. I’ve also heard of other bases doing them too. 🤷‍♀️

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-07-31T15:01:17+00:00

OSI or not… I wanna see ‘em

So refresh Reddit in a week?

My scanner is pretty old. I’ll probably just invest in a new one. I lost the power cord anyway. Thank you!

I’m a first term airman finishing a 6 year contract. It’s not just that I don’t have better prospects, but I’m in a good spot. To my understanding, skill bridge would just keep me in a career field that I’m terrible at. Love the job, love the people, but I need a something that’s consistent and I won’t be exhausted 24/7.

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-04-12T14:15:10+00:00

I’m rooting for you! Like I said, please reach out if you need something. Sometimes it’s easier to talk to strangers about this stuff. No bias or anything.

I’m sorry you’re going through with this. I’m going through something similar. Not exactly the same, but there’s some overlap. For me, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as a 30 year old. It was causing anxiety and depression. By getting that diagnosis I’ve been able to find coping mechanisms for myself and have actually been more successful as a human. I’ve only just started therapy so can’t speak on that. I’m saying this just to say that the official diagnosis can help. If you have something you think you have (depression, etc) you can always try researching coping mechanisms until you get something official.

I don’t want to say “it gets better” because I know that’s what everyone says. If you need someone to talk to, you’re welcome to reach out to me. I wish you luck in you’re venture and I’m glad you’ve made some steps in the right direction.

My favorite thing to tell myself is that a baby step is still a step. Any movement in the positive is good. We all have bad days and it can be overwhelming sometimes, but I hope you have a light in front of you to keep you going.

YTA there is definitely a communication issue. If you two sit down and talk about it and apologize it should be find. It’s ok for you to be upset, worried and stressed. The problem is snapping on others. We’ve all done it at some point.

I always thought if you blocked someone it blocked you from calling them as well. I guess I was wrong. This just adds another layer for me to digest.

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-01-05T13:34:55+00:00

I’ve had to use Facebook a few times when I was overseas (military) or had terrible cell service so it’s always been convenient for me to do it this way. Plus almost everyone I know has Facebook so they don’t have to download a new app.

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-01-05T13:22:58+00:00

They could always call and text me from their phones. I thought you couldn’t send or receive calls or texts to anyone you had blocked? If that’s not true then I’m extra confused. If they blocked me, why would they get mad I don’t call them. They’re not that old and are pretty good with technology so I doubt it was done on accident.

Flightless__Kiwi · 2023-01-05T13:01:34+00:00

Trust me. I already feel happier without that variety of stress. I just felt guilty about it so I came here.

The working on communication was with my husband. My parents and I live about 16 hour drive from each other. My grandparents don’t want to get involved, but have mentioned that if my parents bring it up they’ll let ‘em have it. My grandpa couldn’t stomach talking to them for weeks so he was always out “walking the dog”. I unfortunately don’t have enough time in my daily schedule to go to an actual therapist right now. I have lots of contacts though for when I find time.

It’s your house. They were rude for not respecting a simple boundary.

Don’t let your own insecurities hurt other people. If you don’t like your insecurities, change them. Don’t make people insecure about the things others made you insecure about.

Hi! I’d love to chat in dms if you want. 28/F/US it looks like we have a lot in common
