maybe a dumb joke but you know some commander in some unit somewhere has asked about suicide awareness training before asking anything else when a soldier in their unit killed themselves.

That's literally what happened when my wife attempted suicide and her unit tried to get access to resources to help her.

All I know is is that he and his wife separated and it's complicated because they have a DEERS daughter. I feel like that loving scene in SLC Punk where the protagonist is freaking out because Heroin Bob OD'd. I'm glad he's getting help, I just feel useless not being able to be there for him.

In a really hard place right now. My father works for the Division of Forestry (Florida no less) and is a federal first responder to national disasters. He is being sent to Orlando, or is in Orlando already, to brave Irma with thousands of other unfortunate aid workers. My step mother is not able to evacuate but might be OK because they live near the NW Panhandle. If the storm changes, which it might, that could mean a lot of bad things. Mainly the big observation tower for forest fires in the immediate vicinity of their house.

I've been up all night preparing for the worst. I already said "good-bye" just in case the worst happens. I gave them words of encouragement that I'll make it out there and the hopes that we can laugh about this later.

I want to believe that, but I feel deep down that my dad might not make it back.

I have a really bad feeling.

I'm with you man. My whole family is in Tampa. I've tried to convince them to get out but they won't/can't. I even offered to pay whatever necessary without needing to be paid back to get some of my family members out because they are too broke to leave, but they won't take me up on the offer.

I hope your dad makes it out alright, man. This is some scary poo poo.

Parents made it through. Dad is helping lead like 8000 people through rescue efforts. He has MREs that expired in 2014. Se la vi

My mom did ok too. Irma split between where they were, and I was super panicked because Irma kept shooting that gap between Cuba and looked like it was gonna hit the NW panhandle until Cuba stood up and took a beating.

My dad is helping so until he gets out, I won't feel great. But at least they're alive.

Unlike the two people who decided to brace the goddamn storm, in the keys, in a boat.

This. I stopped drinking when I tried to convince a girl I work with to go gently caress around with me while her husband was in the field (I know) at a bar where my pregnant wife was also hanging out with me. She caught me after I told her to go home and I would catch a cab. I realized afterwards that I needed to stop, and I was about to destroy everything in my life. It's very possible that if I hadn't been rejected, she would have walked in with me and other girl face loving each other.

I still can drink beer and not feel guilty. But it made me get my poo poo together. Now I just don't want it.

Weed helped me quit drinking so much. Still get the urge to keep drinking whenever I get a buzz going, but now I have the self control to know I should stop before I reach depressing drunk.

I never had a problem with alcohol. Stupid poo poo would just coincidently happen when I got drunk.

So I stopped. I have a beer every now and then but most of the time I crack it open, take a sip and forget about it.

I met the woman who got my wife’s heart today. I got to hear my wife’s heartbeat through a stethoscope.

Then I went to a reunion of my high school class. It was nice seeing old friends, some of whom I’ve known since elementary school. Being around people was probably the thing I needed most today.

Now I’m sitting alone in my room thinking about how all of them were there with their boyfriends/girlfriends or husbands/wives.

gently caress this is hard.

You won't be getting it through the VA doc, some still look down on it (my psychiatrist)

I am currently doing an informative speech on medical marijuana and it's applications and am mainly focusing on the opioid aspect of it but can link you peer reviewed publications concerning that and applications into types of anxiety disorders as well.

Big advocate for it but keep in mind it's still a substance you are using to alleviate an issue and therefore must be respected.

Don't go full retard, you'll spiral out of control.

No. Maybe if it was a larger indicator like PTSD. I was diagnosed with ADHD and clinical depression for years before I got diagnosed with PTSD.

Probably not unless it's super severe if I had to guess. Plenty of people stay in with depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. so I dunno why they'd kick you out for ADHD. I had a medical waiver for it from the Army even.
