 I go through the same thing as well. These are all great suggestions. I do the mindfulness too. I also like to read and practice some stoicism exercises. Check out the a view from above exercise, it helps me realize that the things I'm stressing out about aren't that bad.

I'm so tired.

I need to get service connected in the VA and I literally don't know where the gently caress to start.

Everyone talks about how they got their poo poo for flat feet and shin splints and I don't know how to get A VA BRAIN DOCTOR to rate me for having suicidal ideations and hosed up guts.

Every piece of advice feels worthless because I can't keep track of what I'm supposed to do because I can not think straight 90% of the day. I start the process, get lost, ask the wrong question, get the wrong appointment, and then get a bill in the mail.

I have to remind myself out loud what I'm doing for Christ sake; how the gently caress am I supposed to hound a loving institution for healthcare?

Do you have a VSO (Veteran Service Officer) or an attorney to help guide you? The VSO's are free through different organizations like the American Legion and stuff.

I’ve fallen into a pretty bad slump with motivation. Days go by where I accomplish nothing at work and it’s eventually going to catch up to me and really gently caress me over. I JUST got a promotion and I’m pissing all over it. And I kind of just don’t care.

I don’t find joy in anything.

I think the state of the world is really starting to get to me. And it’s unfortunate that we are in a lockdown, because you can’t help but be fully aware of how lovely things have gotten.

I wouldn’t say I’m depressed? I am definitely bummed out, but I’ve been fighting depression for a long time and this just doesn’t feel the same as depression does. Maybe numb is a better word. Idk.

You're depressed. That's all part of it. Reach out if you need to.

 Hey goons, I had a fall a couple of months ago which led to a head CT. The CT showed some thyroid nodules, and what do you know a biopsy showed cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy two weeks ago. Unfortunately it didn't get all the cancer so I get to take a big dose of radiation in a couple of months.

The point of all this is that the thyroid cancer is more than likely caused by radiation exposure. I had exposures in Gulf War 1 and OIF as well as whatever burn pit stuff wafted about.

Something to keep an eye out for if any of you were exposed. Thyroid cancer and is easily treatable. Catch it early and take some motrin.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I am doing well
