Darkest confession i've ever shared on here lmfao

I know I should feel sad, or desperate, or lonely, or what fucking ever. And I have to pretend I'm not struggling with all these emotions to show how strong I am and to hide how scared I am about the uncertainty that surrounds me because those emotions are expected of me to someone in my position. And I know that should scare me, but I don't feel anything at all.

i found this really awesome guy on grindr last week and we've been chatting ceaselessly ever since. he's cute and all but we haven't talk anything sexual-- just about life and other silly things because we're both just looking for friends.

he said he's currently on an extended holiday from university because of some health issue. i asked what health issue exactly and he replied he's currently recovering after getting rid of a tumor found in his testes. i was shocked.

being the inquisitive person that i am, i asked if that means that he got one of his balls chopped off and he said yes. instead of feeling repulsed, i got really.... excited? i can't stop thinking about how they might look like.

now that i've come to my senses, i feel disgusted at my self for having had such impure thoughts.

This. And the worst part; I don't mind it.

I don't know why I decided to unblock him on Facebook and look at his profile.... I thought it'd make me feel better? I don't know. Well it certainly didn't... To see what I had suspected, but never confirmed. A wedding ring on his finger. I was never anything more than just a pretty face to flirt with and an attempted lay while he was away. Damn him! I hate him for making me feel this way. For making me feel like someone actually liked me, and then just disappear.

Now I can't reblock him for 48 hours. Well looks like avoiding the FB search bar for the next couple of days, otherwise, he pops up.

There's something VERY satisfying about taking control of my life/conquering my issues.

Pretty sure I went through all 20 billion stages of grief when I found out I was having twins and now I just feel guilty, even though I know it's illogical. Also, I just found out it'll probably happen again once they're born

I have a lot to think about, assuming everything goes correctly with my medical separation from the military. 

Here's just a few:

 

Transferring my 4+ years military experience into a civilian job application. (HAZMAT, Aircraft Mechanic, Supervisory, Database Management, Flightline/Aviation Safety]

Choosing where to live.

Choosing which school to attend full time, and whether or not I want to stick with Computer Systems & Network Technology [CSNT].

Choosing whether or not to refinance my car, so my payments aren't $440/month.

Will I need a part time job?

 

I'm not really stressing yet, but I don't know when I'll be getting separation orders; it could be as early as next month, or as late as February 2017. My time at work tonight is going to be spent printing out various packets of information, and attempting to write a resume for the first time in ~6 years.

Working in offices and volunteering in about five hundred places has made me pretty savvy with building resumes. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I can also send you mine, which I recently used, if you need a sample.

Thank you! I may require your services at some point in the near future. Shortly before all (honorably) discharged military members separate we have to go through the Transition Assistance Program [TAP(s)] where they take all of our military experience and help us write a resume. This is done in a large scale fashion, and the one instructor isn't able to give each persons situation the individualized attention we need. *phew* I'll keep you in mind, and even compensate you for the help ^^.

Don't be stupid, you're not going to compensate me for anything.

 

I'm not up to speed with the whole thing, but congratulations on your honourable (Canadian spelling lol) discharge!!!!!!!! I don't know what it's like in the States but ex-military are totally respected here and however you display that on your resume will look great to an employer. But yeah, let me know!! I can even do fancy shit like fade the font .. That's five years of what I've learned working on computers summed up.

@Adam, why don't you want to stay in the military while attending school? Won't they still pay you while you are attending? Kids in my class are making like $2k/month (or so, I can't remember what it is) plus free tuition. Those are the ones who enlisted during school but haven't served yet.

My husband is/was Army and is was stupid hard to take classes while active duty. Classes constantly conflicted with the duty schedule and the only people in his unit that could get time off in the duty day to attend them were women (I wish I was joking; one of their Sgts was a feminazi [says the feminist]). Once off active duty (and in Natl Guard) he could use the GI Bill for classes, collect a housing stipend, and it just all around worked better. Not saying this is Adam's situation, but it's an example.

I've taken a shit load of classes while on active duty. I'm also being medically separated at the end of the year.

Hmmm. I guess I didn't know it worked that way. Maybe it is different for the med students, since the only thing they do is attend boot camp one summer, but still get paid.

Nice. Not the injury part. Were you injured? Or what happened there?

[Adam]

Sorry for the shitty responses I'm giving. I'm at work, on 1x internet which is the slowest thing possible. I'm being medical discharged for foot injuries I've sustained over the years while working on C130s. I had multiple 60lb brakes dropped on my foot because my wingman is an idiot. That situation has resulted in the permanent (often crippling) nerve damage I experience every day.

Yeah the medical student program is quite a bit different, but you got the basics.
