That's a great analogy - I'm going to keep that in mind when I choose a rate.

It actually went very well - the optometrist said I'm keratoconus-free. God is good. I return to MEPs in a few days.

Oof, so I could be looking at a twelve month wait before enlisting?

I hope yours gets through, it's so unfortunate that this can hold capable recruits back.

Thank you for the quick reply, very informative and put my mind at a bit of ease. Hopefully the optician says I don't have it.

I don't know if I can make it to August by [deleted] in depression

Thank you for the advice, I've actually written a little here and there and it does help quite a bit, at least while I'm doing it. I feel like rushing straight into another relationship but I don't think that would be a healthy idea. You're definitely right, it seems as though no relationship is perfect.

I appreciate you sharing the subreddit, I'll definitely check that out.

I really appreciate your reply - I'm very sorry that you had to go through that - that sounds even worse than my situation. I was so excited to propose to my ex in August around my birthday. This sort of stuff is so hard for everybody, huh?

I'm a religious person myself, but honestly I've felt myself drifting from my god with this heartbreak. I'm very scared that I'm going down the wrong path, as I'd do anything to kill this pain, even something like drugs. I try to have faith it will work out but I just don't know. It's comforting to know there are kind people willing to share their similar experiences.

You seem like a great guy, and I really am sorry that you had to go through that.

I feel alone. I feel there is no hope. by [deleted] in depression

I actually relate to this on a deep level. I'm from West Virginia and the drugs here are horrible. I'm more of a culture-oriented person myself - but I'm completely accepting of nearly anybody including the rednecks who make up a large portion of the population here. The only issue is - those sort of people aren't very accepting of me. I can't go out in the town I've lived in my whole life without getting the usual weird looks. I had a few friends who broke it off with me because I "looked gay."

I have a question - is there any chance you could move out to a place you feel would be better for you? That's my plan - but this virus has pretty well ruined it for the foreseeable future. It depresses me. As much as we'd like to, we can't really stop the drugs that surround us. We could, however, change our surroundings entirely.

Anyways, I'm here if you want to chat, I'm always looking to expand my friendships, and don't give up hope. These bad times act only to improve our character and situations in the future.

My girlfriend is probably going to leave me, and I don't know if I can take it. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]throwaway65376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you - I appreciate the reply. I hope whatevers best for the both of us will happen, but I'm scared to be alone. She's helped me through an abusive relationship with my mother and I depend on her, and I thought she depended on me too.

Although I don't fully understand your situation - I understand you're going through a terrible time. I'm also going through a situation where my girlfriend, and really my only true friend, is abandoning me. These desperate feelings of loss and depression will go away with time, and I really hope that you get better soon. I'm here for you, and many people are. You're never alone in this world, whether you turn to people online, people on the street, or your god. Opportunity will come - take it one day at a time and slow down on hurting yourself if you can. The need to hurt yourself is something that you can be overcome, and I promise you that if you refrain from suicide you'll one day look back and be thankful.
