Hey all so i told the military that i SI and well they took it all the wrong way.first they think all the wrong things. I tried to tell them why i do it, but they don’t get it. Now they think that im crazy and are threating to kick me out of the army. i told them i have stopped SIing but i can’t!!!!! i did for like 3 days and then i SI i mean its a bit less but its still there. what do i do? i dont want to get out of the service and im not really sure if want or can stop SIing. it feels hopeless. i keep telling myself that i have only a few months left in iraq and than i will be home and everthing will be better. But why do i think like that i mean it can’t be that easy as much as we would want it to be it just can’t.well if you have n e advice now is the time that i need it. well i got to go this war isn’t going to end itself Thanks everyone and a shout to Mina you help alot
First, thank you for going out to irag to support the country. =]
Second, this might sound terrible, but if they think your ok, then it shouldnt be a big deal right? And once you stop stressing about them, you can try to stop on your own. The stress your probably going through is not helping you deal with it. I actually dont know what else to say, I’m not any better.
But E-mail anytime, iheartwater@hotmail.com
I realize the time difference, but thats ok, I’m online from 6a.m til like 3 a.m CA time. =]
take care and be safe.
It sounds like to me that you’re at war with yourself. It’s hard enough for a service person to fight a war against the enemy, but to fight against yourself don’t do it. Listen if you can talk to someone while you are over there that would be great, but it would have to be someone you can trust without batting an eyelash. Like you said you only have a few months see if you can get some reading material or play cards or do something with your buddies so you can be distracted I know it’s easier said than done, but just take a deep breath and think about the damage you may be doing not only to yourself, but to your career. If you feel like hurting yourself take out a piece of paper or something to write on and think of what you can be doing in place of it. Take care of yourself and remember you are important and that life is hard enough for you over there you don’t need to make it any harder. Good Luck! If this helps any that’s if you can get access to e-mail here is my address: denny666@verizon.net i will be thinking of you.
I wanted to say thank you for your kind advice and input to me and that I truly am taking all the support that I get from this website to heart, so I’m sure you are too!
Thank you so much for supporting our country but in a way, I want you to know that it makes you a GREAT person. You are amazing and brave and deserve much gratification, even if you believe you do not! I would not have the courage that you have, but yet we struggle with the same challenge. Just think of it as a challenge, not an addiction. That way of thinking has REALLY helped me.
I don’t know if this will help much, but just trust that I think about you and trust in you and will support you as much as I can! my e-mail is (really dumb, haha) kittykat540222@hotmail.com and please please feel free to talk to me anytime. I know I am only sixteen, but I am wise and am studying to help people like us. You are not alone!!
