I would love to help with this but I don't feel comfortable linking my SA account with my real name and details. I say dumb poo poo on the internet sometimes and I'd hate to make it easier to link me to this account.

Is there a way to verify that I am legit without linking my offsite info with this account?

Are we all using burner accounts on this poo poo or are we using real names? I am stupid and not used to using google + so I am going to have to make a fake account if others aren't using their real info too.

Got fired today, pushed up to staff. I don't give a gently caress anymore. Everything's over.

I don't know the first thing about you but I know a little bit about traumatic stuff. I know that when bad things happen it's really hard to see past the moment you are in right now. You can't see how things were ok in the past or how things will be ok in the future. If you are a veteran, there are resources available to you. We lose too many guys to suicide each year. Don't let yourself become a statistic.

Check out: http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/ChatTermsOfService.aspx
or 1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-273-8255 for a veteran specific hotline.



Feel free to post here more if you are looking to vent or get some words of wisdom from other people who have been through similar stuff. Alternatively you can PM me anytime and we can set up something more private. If nothing else having someone to listen to you talk for a bit without judging you can help ease the burden.

I remember you Bogard. You seriously need to contact someone. Use the links I posted above or give us an email address so I can invite you into our Google + hangout. You can talk to other veterans who have been through similar poo poo. The whole chat can turn into touchy feely judgement free zone one minute and bullshit about work or movies and video games the next. We've got guys here that want to try to help you but you've got to put your hand out so someone can help pull you back up.

I didn't know your buddy. However, I did just go through inventorying personal effects, dressing and escorting the body of, and burying one of my favorite Marines. So while our situations aren't exactly the same, I too have recently had someone close die.


If you need someone to talk to, shoot me a PM and we can link up.

Who do I PM or what do I post to get added to the hangout? Should I use a burner email or is getting doxxed by Shim actually kind of fun?

Make a burner google email and send me a message if you are still around tonight.
