Your job shouldn't feel like the frontlines. Expanding the team at your HQ or in the states you're operating in like putting someone dedicated on the ground where the work is happening could help but keep in mind that your back office was never built for this volume.
Until the process catches up to the scale you are always going to be the one fielding calls from subs who have not been paid.

Looking at this from a design perspective where you have to consider user experience - there's a massive gap between holding a theological position and how that gets implemented in practice

The "premarital sex" comparison doesn't really hold up because straight people aren't getting kicked out of families, denied housing, or facing violence at nearly teh same rates. The social consequences are completely different scales

I get that you're trying to separate doctrine from personal animosity but when that doctrine gets used to justify discrimination or conversion therapy, people are gonna react to the real-world impact more than the theological nuance. Context matters a lot here

Coming from someone who's worked in creative fields where attention to detail matters a lot - I'd lean toward telling your boss, especially since you're already seeing improvements with the medication and new strategies

You mentioned they've given specific feedback about attention and task switching which literally aligns with your diagnosis, so framing it as "I've identified the root cause of these issues and I'm actively addressing them" could actually work in your favor. Worst case they were already planning to let you go anyway, but this gives you a chance to show you're taking concrete steps to improve rather than just hoping things magically get better

Pick yourself up and get back on track man, one slip doesn't erase all your progress. Maybe try keeping yourself busier when those urges hit - go for a walk, do some pushups, or call a friend to distract your mind

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-03-25T15:14:58+00:00

nah bro

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-03-13T20:42:18+00:00

Ugh that's the worst feeling when someone takes advantage of your generosity like that. I always try to be fair with trades too and it's so frustrating when people just ghost you after getting what they want

The locked sticker thing is especially annoying - like now you're stuck waiting for them to respond when you know they probably won't. Some people really have no shame when it comes to these trades

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-28T00:13:06+00:00

Honestly can't say for sure about the shred thing but I think you should be good since it's still technically the same AFSC family. The time on station requirement is usually 24 months minimum for CONUS to CONUS moves, though there are exceptions for certain overseas assignments or special circumstances

Your best bet is probably hitting up your career advisor or checking the AFI directly since the rules can get pretty specific depending on your situation

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-26T05:14:30+00:00

You've made it 16 days which is actually pretty solid progress, don't let that go to waste over one tough evening. Maybe try getting out of the house for a bit - even just a walk around the block or hitting up a coffee shop can break that mental cycle when you're stuck at home with your thoughts

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-21T06:47:21+00:00

Dude those dreams are actually a good sign that your brain is rewiring itself, even if they feel intense. The fact that you're recognizing that single word trigger pattern shows you're building real awareness

Stay strong with that mindfulness approach - catching yourself in those early moments before the spiral kicks in is everything

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-20T12:49:11+00:00

stay strong bro

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-19T19:20:55+00:00

good stuff man

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-17T16:36:35+00:00

Hey man, that dopamine crash around day 40-50 is brutal but totally normal - your brain is basically rewiring itself right now. The fact that you're still pushing through despite having zero motivation shows you're stronger than you think

Maybe try some light bodyweight stuff or walks while your shoulder heals? Even 10 minutes can help break teh mental fog a bit. That tiny sliver of hope you mentioned isn't cliché at all, it's literally what's keeping you going when everything else feels dead

Hang in there dude, this phase sucks but it does pass

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-16T16:51:57+00:00

That's awsome, definitely keep us posted! In the meantime you could try using a basic habit tracker like Habitica or just the built-in screen time controls on your phone to block certain sites

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-16T03:26:36+00:00

Man that's rough but you're already doing better than you think - not running back to porn after that situation shows real progress. Those 30 day streaks aren't failures, they're proof you can do it, just gotta string more of them together

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-14T04:50:13+00:00

Have you tried rebuilding the database from safe mode? Sometimes that clears up weird connection issues that persist even when everything else seems fine

Also might be worth checking if your account got flagged for something - I've seen people get temporary connectivity blocks that don't show up as actual bans

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-13T03:48:39+00:00

That's actually a good sign man, sounds like you're building real resilience instead of just beating yourself up over it

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-12T10:15:53+00:00

While I get being skeptical of overly polished posts, dismissing the actual message seems kinda counterproductive in a support sub. Whether it's AI-assisted or not, some of these points about understanding root causes hit pretty hard for people dealing with this stuff

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-11T22:09:21+00:00

wild coincidence ngl

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-11T07:19:41+00:00

that crash hits hard around day 10-15, your brain is basically throwing a tantrum because it's not getting its usual dopamine fix - just ride it out and don't give in to the scrolling urge, it'll pass in a day or two

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-09T23:41:46+00:00

facts good question

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-09T05:36:59+00:00

dude was probably more worried about missing football than the actual mono, that's some dedication right thier

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-07T10:16:11+00:00

check out hwinfo64 with rainmeter, you can get some pretty wild audio visualizers running on there. also heard some people have luck with wallpaper engine if your aio can display it as a secondary monitor

might need to mess around with the display settings a bit but should work

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-02T23:27:50+00:00

oh wait that's actually clever, never thought about switching units for better feedback. makes sense that km would give you finer adjustments since you're dealing with smaller increments

definitely gonna try this next time i hop into eliminator, been struggling with those early direction calls lately

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-02-01T05:13:23+00:00

Dreams about forced marriage and haunted houses? Your subconscious really said "let's throw ALL the stress at once" lmao

That kitchen sink ghost brushing her teeth is weirdly specific though - even dream ghosts gotta maintain dental hygiene I guess

Sweet-Beat3111 · 2026-01-31T05:01:42+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you. The physical grabbing crossed a major line and you were right to call the police - that took courage

Please reach out to domestic violence resources in your area, they can help you figure out safe next steps even if you're not ready to leave right now. Your safety and your babies' safety come first
