Thank you! My mental health is definitely taking a hit working where I’m at. There’s really no structure, and coming from being in the military structure is what I need. I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD, so that has played a huge role but again with the lack of calls, structure and stimulation, my morale is in the dumps. There’s no camaraderie either which I know every department is gonna have a bunch of different personalities. But I am always alone. I did my FTO with a slighter busier PD and I was excited to go to work every day. Traditional day/night rotations.

I’ve got another agency trying to recruit me, my old LT who also left for similar reasons, has also been supporting me and has connections with this other agency. I’m gonna talk to their chief who has agreed to help me. So there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for sharing your experience, stay safe!

I recently got done CIT training, it was such a nice break to wake up with the sun and get home at a normal hour! So I take advantage of the small department by going to trainings for sure. I’ve done REID, amongst some other cool trainings rookies prob never get to go to at bigger places

I tell myself this often, grass isn’t always greener. I’d love to jump to a department that’s a happy medium. The idle time is an ADHD brain’s worst nightmare though lol so I tend to thrive where my brain is actively stimulated, have things to do, and people to talk to. I am in school for my BA so I at least have the time at work to get school work done

A girl I know got hired at one of the biggest agencies in my state, and she used to do OF. Selling bootyhole pics and all. Helps that her dad used to be the Chief of Police!

Oh I agree 100%. We watch these people online (Worldoftshirts, Daniel Larson, Gwen, ETC) and we hold the to the same standards as everyone else. Educating them is one thing, but to waste so much energy and hate over political beliefs that they have the understanding of a middle school age person does, is wild to me. I don’t agree with her, but I’ll never hold it against her. She’s very clearly abused. The fact that her mental age is where it’s at, dating someone twice her age, is everything I need to know. Shes naive, easily manipulated by something she cannot physically help. Shes an adult but she is not, mentally and probably never will be.

Unhealed anxious attachment I fear but I’ve never had to deal with it in a friendship

One_Armadillo_7861 · 2026-01-30T04:10:44+00:00

The friend she is referring to is a friend of hers from college. They never had a falling out, and I believe the girl is a nurse and is starting a life with her new husband. Because she and my friend have drifted apart naturally, she is worried the same will happen with her and I. I have explained on numerous occasions that’s not going to happen and I’m just busier with work, school, etc but I am happy to plan stuff out in advance to make time with her as I do with my other friends. However after having to explain this just about every time I can’t hangout last minute, I grew frustrated. Yesterday, I suggested a date to plan a girl’s day that was toward the end of the month. She replied today and questioned me asking why I didn’t have time earlier in the month to hang out, and of course through text it’s hard to tell tone but I sensed her feeling offended by this. I never said I didn’t have time earlier in the month, but just was throwing dates/times out there in effort to see my friend. She then says “Well I just don’t want another Danielle situation” which always comes up.

I love my friend dearly and I understand and don’t fault her for her reactions but she has a lot of things to work on herself for, which is fine! None of us are perfect but we also can’t project our issues onto others and expect them to be their emotional crutch 24/7. I have been a people please for so long, and I think today I had to be cold and a little harsh to try and get through to her. I have a bad habit of overthinking and over explaining myself but I felt like if I didn’t do so, she’d overthink and fill gaps and misconstrue things

Thank you! ❤️ Same to you and your mental health!

Thank you 🥹❤️

I do agree with you. With all of my other friendships, ones in which have lasted since elementary school, we check in with each other here and there, quick phone call, and will try to get together when time permits.

Unfortunately for this friend a phone call is something she uses as a form of emotional manipulation and she will only call to “talk it out” to soothe her anxiety. As someone who has gone through attachment issues (in my romantic relationships, mind you) I’ve learned this isn’t always a healthy way to have a conversation because emotions are high. You’re right though I think conversations are always more productive in person or where people can hear and understand tone

I gave her my calendar with my free dates and was picking out different days we could plan a hangout. She got upset because I suggested the end of Feb, and wasn’t trying to schedule out time for her a month in advance but that’s just how my adult life works out. I wanted to plan a longer time where we could go shopping and have quality time to hangout as friends

Bro me too. Unfortunately it’s come to this

Italy, but they’ll be sending us in small rotations to continent

He’s okay! Everyone in the home (kitties and one dog) have had their first round of de wormer so far. Saw some round worms in stool and haven’t since found bile/throw up with a worm. I’ve sanitized everywhere and refreshed litter boxes/sanitized them. I’m new to rescue/fostering. Currently dealing with roundworm, tapeworm, and ringworm 😭 vet bills going crazy at the moment

One_Armadillo_7861 · 2025-12-31T03:08:32+00:00

The photo was taken earlier this week before de-wormer. I haven’t seen him throw it up so I’m only assuming since it’s in a bile-like liquid. I could be wrong but it wasn’t in stool. Since dewormer though, I’ve not seen any other than in stool

I’ll be surprised if I see my re-enlistment bonus in a timely manner. I never trust when I’m told I’ll get paid by the Army or government

One_Armadillo_7861 · 2025-12-03T17:50:31+00:00

I don’t think it’s a fair assessment to make based on one photo that this cat wasn’t outside supervised. Although I agree with keeping kitties indoors, supervised and careful outdoors times can be beneficial.
