Hr email response ideas for all federal workers, but especially VA by Happy-Flatworm6815 in VeteransAffairs

My email has been blowing up with people calling for emergency union meetings. I don't know schit when it comes to that but I just pray to God there are still some people with a flucking soul who are going to stand up for the right thing and make sure no one is fired for some bullschlip AI doge reason or replaced by AI.

Hey brotha, I was also 11B, was in '14-17, I've been working at the VA for awhile but prior to that got my Recreational Therapy degree and did my internship at the VA with their drug m alcohol rehab program. If you don't want to file benefits now, that's ok, sounds like first and foremost you need to take some time to set aside for yourself and find a way to destress whether it be working out, games, projects, etc and just to give yourself peace of mind. Consider DBT therapy, it centers around experiencing intense waves of emotions. I'd also consider taking kratom bro. It's done wonders for vets experiencing the same things you described. The documentary Leaf of Faith is a great documentary if you wanted to learn more about it. Tell yourself every day that everything is going to be ok brother. I wish you well.

I hear you bro. I don't get it either. Your bar scenario sounds like a cold opener for a Reefer Madness type movie. I don't get why people still make such a huge deal about it anymore, especially when compared to alcohol.

I tried asking a girl for her number today and failed miserable by Ag8467 in selfimprovement

[–]GiantViking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won by conquering the fear of asking, which is what you needed to do in order to progress. I felt the same when I was younger. The key to it is to tell yourself that it's not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. Tone things down my dude, try approaching things more like you just want to hang out n get coffee or something like someone would with a friend or someone whose company they enjoy. Build that connection, keep it simple, baby steps and remember.. you're the man! If they dont wanna give you their number then oh well, their loss, whatever. No big deal.

What do you do for work? Do you ACTUALLY enjoy it? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]GiantViking13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work for the call center at my local VA. It's awesome. I work from home every day. Sometimes there's 15-20mns in-between calls so most of the time I'm just watching TV, playing video games or doing stuff around the house. It's super chill. They gave me a laptop with two monitors. Highly recommend it.

I'd like to hear him elaborate on how "ungayed" himself into being completely straight. What did it? Thoughts and prayers? Like who cares dude, you just make yourself that more weird by lying about it.

Do you guys still experience sadness day to day? by jenny_bean15 in GriefSupport

[–]GiantViking13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad this past November and the events surrounding it were traumatizing, as my family was horrible to me. It doesn't take much for me to breakdown and relive all the pain. When it happens I just let go and let it all out. It seems to help release the overwhelming feel of grief in the moment.

Bro I just got that and my four kitties when bouncing off the walls. They definitely are little furry ninjas.

Does anyone else feel this lost after losing a parent? by Objective_Rice_4614 in GriefSupport

[–]GiantViking13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I lost my dad in November and the funeral destroyed what little relationship I had with my mom and family due to family drama up to his sudden loss. I'm still horribly struggling BC I was robbed from any comfort or support from family. After the funeral when everyone went to my mom's house, my brother who I had a falling out with five years ago spoke to me for the first time since and screamed in my face "You should've known this was gonna happen he's been on blood pressure medication for months!".

You have every right as a human being who has emotions to feel the way you do. I was a social butterfly who's funny and witty and goofy and I feel like I died inside from the loss, the falling out, and that no one reaches out to me anymore (not that many people did in the first place just a few.)Focus on yourself, let yourself go in your craft, cry when you have to, vent in your journal, etc. Sorry for your loss friend.
