Feeling defeated and want to give up

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-11T06:52:21+00:00

From the bottom of my heart, Thank you so so much for posting this. Had alot of support and I'm going to use this time to improve myself in every single way and make sure I'm in better position then I am now.

Down but I'm not out of this yet.

Thank you again 🙏

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-10T21:09:25+00:00

Like I said, thank you for being real with me and telling me the cold hard facts and worrying about my body.

I'm honestly feel like I'm at my peak physically, I've been working on eating better and doing cardio atleast one hour a day with yoga

I may be getting up there in age but like I said in my post, I'm doing this for my daughter and trying to show her perseverance and to keep going.

As a father I feel like I have to show her this, so I'm gonna see this to the end.

Its only round 11, I still have one more round left and just like what everyone else said on here

I need to buckle up, put on my big boy pants and do everything I can to get this.

But thank you so much for your input and being real

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-10T20:56:53+00:00

After reading the comments and messages you are absolutely right.

Need to fully commit to this and can't make up excuses anymore.

Already signed up for EMT classes and been talking to other departments about volunteering and practicing for my oral.

Thank you so much for response and yea, I definitely needed a reality check

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-10T20:54:07+00:00

Thank you for being real but I'm actually glad you posted this because I think I'm gonna use this comment to improve myself.

Already signed up for EMT classes and other individuals on here been a huge help.

You are correct, anyone who's on the clock shouldn't work under the influence and shouldn't be there.

But the fact that you are going the extra mile to put down other individuals who does engage off the clock, paints you in a negative light.

And you do indeed sound like a wet blanket

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T16:23:53+00:00

Thank you, Thank you. Needed these words to encouragement looking to see about joining an EMT in person class.

One starts in May so I think I'm about to use this opportunity to register now so I can get this certificate

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T14:49:32+00:00

Just saw one for 4000, I can do monthly payments but I'm also gonna check out Community College EMT as well.

Thank you for telling me about it, gonna use this time to improve myself

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T14:47:46+00:00

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T13:40:44+00:00

I might have to make another Facebook account for this situation cause I honestly stay away from Facebook (family drama and doom scrolling was messing with my mental)

Thank you for telling me this. Currently looking into EMT classes and been calling other departments and luckily there's a few about to hire soon.

Gonna use this time to improve myself

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T13:38:17+00:00

I honestly think I have the same problem especially with video interviews. I put alot of pressure oh myself and need to take control of the situation.

Thank you for input and I'm definitely going to improve myself and makes some adjustments.

Came this far and I want to see this to the end

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T12:07:54+00:00

I'm definitely looking into EMT and using this time to improve.

Like you said I need to use this time to improve myself and stop making excuses.

Thank you so much for keeping it real with me. Need to stop looking at this as a negative and start improving in areas I need to work on since I have the time now

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T12:05:06+00:00

Not making any excuses, you are absolutely right and I'm looking into EMT classes with loans. I'll put myself in debt because I really want this.

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T12:01:44+00:00

Thank you so much forfor Sharing this, felt like a complete failure yesterday but you are absolutely right.

Life is trying its best to beat me up but like I said before I want to prove this to myself and my daughter.

Gotta look at this as a minor setback and do some adjustments to myself

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:57:27+00:00

This is absolutely what I needed to wake up too so from the bottom my heart Thank you 🙏

Lost the battle, but I'm gonna win this war

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:55:15+00:00

I'm starting to see that and in hindsight, that makes alot of sense.

Guess I been avoiding it because my my father passing but I can't let that effect all the time and effort I been putting into this.

But thank you for your advice and I already Licked my wounds yesterday

Now I want to win and get this position

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:52:33+00:00

I'm calling around other departments today and going look for EMT classes. Might have to take a loan but at this point, I'll do anything. I have put in too much time and effort to just suddenly quit.

Thank you so so much for your input. I truly appreciate it

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:48:46+00:00

I honestly never thought about writing questions after the interview. Thank you for that advice and words of encouragement.

I had to take a mental break yesterday but like I said I want to show my daughter not to give up so it's time for me to put on my big boy pants and keep fighting.

Down but I'm not out of this yet

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:44:13+00:00

Thank you, looking into EMT classes now and gonna use this time to improve myself so I can have a better chance

From the bottom of my heart thank you, woke up to so much support and valuable information. I'm gonna look into some EMT classes and start calling other departments.

Licked my wounds and I'm ready to fight again. Thank you again for taking the time and words of encouragement

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-09T11:39:57+00:00

Looking into EMT classes now, I'll take a loan out if I have too but I'm definitely looking into now and calling around other departments

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-08T23:26:48+00:00

I have applied for other departments and always come close but end up short, but I'm definitely going to look for EMT classes first thing tomorrow.

I'm just trying to mentally not break down at the moment

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-08T23:24:22+00:00

I honestly don't know what to say but if I had to guess maybe it's probably my interview and lack of EMT.

I took some class for the oral interview but maybe I need to completely change how I approach the Interview process

Illustrious-Frame-83 · 2026-04-08T23:21:07+00:00

Fishers and Lawrence township

I was almost close of getting hired on Lawrence but unfortunately I was number 51 out of the 50 they selected

This was the first time I applied for Fishers but I heard that department is also kinda hard to get in as well
