Ran into some legal issues, going to end up losing my job (not sure when ill have to leave), and now im shopping around trying to lawyer up and make sure it doesn't show up on my background check. But i have to do some paperwork with the military doctor and they basically try to see if i have substance abuse problems or any other issues.

At first im guarded as usual but she calls me out on it. Since my days are numbered i say fck it and air it out. How the department i was in is fcked up, and two guys over the training and certification were fcking people over. Me in particular.

She legitimately goes:ohhh::whoo:like this could never happen in 2019. I go on about how i didnt want to pull the race card (and other brehs in the organization advised me to do the same) and she asks why. She says i should put together a timeline in a package to give to the Commanding Officer to let him know.

Then she tells me i should see a counselor,(i reached out to some in undergrad but didnt tell her) bc even though i put on a front like im calm/optimistic/etc she can see through it, and deep down im angry .I mention how, AA's in particular, need to be that way (or play "the game") and again she goes:gucci:like im speaking spanish. Mentioned that Double consciousness coined by W. E. B. Du Bois and she goes "That sounds exactly like bi-polar disorder:damn:. I never knew AA's were doing this"

Shyt is stupid. Then she goes maybe the stress from work caused you to be in this situation. I told her life is stressful, and especially as a black man you just gotta deal with it.:manny:To make it worse, we all going through it so if you show weakness you got ppl telling you "why cry/complaing about something you cant change?" Its so much shyt to navigate through to not end up in the system and be a statistic or to achieve w/e you tryna do but you just deal with it. Told her i dont open up to alot of people bc they either cant understand where you coming from or dont give a damn. I told her i been dealing with issues on my own for 24 years and made it this far. (We all even have so-called friends who fall into this category) And this conversation with the Doc confirmed it. Woman gotta be in her 50's and was legitimately surprised at the life experiences of someone else, who didnt look like her.

Shyt is stupid. I was watching that R Kelly documentary, shyt aint right but he needs help. I used to have real bad anger issues but found positive outlets. 24 years on the straight and narrow now im caught up in the system. Black people put up with so much bullshyt its not funny. I honestly believe we the strongest people mentally, but how much can a brother take?

I pray for all yall, we need it

Prayer and meditation has helped me a lot.

Also controlling the amount of negative and violent news, media and entertainment I digest.

I listen to more gospel and faith based music. I watch a lot of cartoons and comedies. Laughter is good for the soul. Sometimes going back to the little things that made you happy as a child can be healing.

My OCD and anxiety has lessened. Even while being faced with some challenging and scary life situations I’ve been at peace.

I don’t think we realize how much junk we take into our sub conscious on a daily basis.

Had to check back in

Hope y'all brehs holding up and doing good

Last year was up and down with the start up company I was working on and moving and of course money issues and hit a depression wall in the summer but was ok by August and then got hit again In September/October. Even when I finally got paid, I think just being on my own in the new place depressed me and things that dont even affect me directly do (news, social media)

I was getting better by December/Jan but now again I think cause things are slowing up with the busienss and I just turned another year older, single and not settled down, shyt kinda getting to me again.

I train at the gym regularly so that helps and working on the nutrition but I just gotta focus on the positives but its really frustrating and depression when shyt is out of your hands

the crazy thing is i feel as if i were to say how i feel at the moment, i feel ashamed and embarrassed. i also feel that when other people see this from my prior experiences of sharing with others, they'll be judgmental, tell me to man up, saying i'm crying for attention, feeling sorry for myself and basically make me regret even saying anything or speaking up. when i keep it to myself as i was at the top of the hour in bed struggling to get up and eat dinner, i feel like absolute hell and just as embarrassed and ashamed.

truth be told, i'm dealing with a lot of internal suffering, hurt, pain, or whatever you want to call it. this is NOTHING new as it's been the story of my life for the past 20 something years now. :yeshrug: i've revealed it more than enough times on here. it fukking sucks. i feel as if i have little next to no options on how to deal with this shyt as it seems like nothing that i've tried is working. there's times when i feel like i'm sleeping and this is fukking nightmare or a dream where i have to question if this is my fukking life. i just want to wake up but this is actually happening. hate to say this but it seems like my hope for a better tomorrow has faded away the older i've gotten and i have no purpose/reason to live. now, i don't feel suicidal or like hurting myself or anybody but i'll admit that i really don't fukking know anymore. no one around me gives a fukk or cares enough to suspect something may be wrong with me because i'm trying my best to hide it but it is what it is. even if i did tell them, they'll probably brush me off and make me feel like i'm by myself with this shyt as usual.

i would usually isolate myself away from other people to cope with this shyt BUT i'm starting to become scared because of the thoughts that i've been having. i feel that regardless, i'm screwed and that the only way out of this shyt, might be when i die. i can't even relax, chill, or feel comfortable because of this shyt. i'm not suicidal at all though.

I'm too old to be where I'm at. My friends don't even reply to my texts. I'm not even annoying. I barely even hit them up. That's cool. I don't think my life will ever change unless I become an entertainer.
fukk everybody.

Bro. You got the power to change your life RIGHT now. You have to want to want this shyt you not gone ball overnight, it dont happen like that. You got to work towards it. Its going to come at a little at a time and you won't even notice it because ugl so focused on getting to the next level. Thers no such thing as that bad you can make it that bad when we get to complaint about it. But it's something that could be done

Im contemplating suicide everyday.

Money issues and everyday is stress on a wake up. I dont even care about my wife, only thing stopping me is my child. It wouldnt be fair to them, but im stressing. Not to mention im being cyber stalked,harassed,humiliated,bullied online by a forum moderator and cant do shyt about it because the power of anonymity and lack of resources stops me from finding out. In the incoming months if things dont get better, i will end it.

Dont do it brother
A lot of times when you get stuck in toxic situations, its easier and better to cut off the things that you mentioned rather than your own life(That online stuff). If anything concentrate on your child and focus on their development for your concentration

But above anything dont do something that will cause greif for the ones that are here for you.
