Hey the names Justin.
I read and read the countless tales of depression everyday, and the real only healing process that people have stood beside is time.. But how much time must I endure before I see the sunshine agian?
I returned from home from Afghanistan about two months ago. Not going into any specifics but too put it lightly my tour over there didn't go too well, I guess it played on my self esteem, and wellbeing (Mentally) Though all the hardships I have endured over there, about 2 weeks after I return home, my 2 year relationship ends, to which we were once engaged, quite the sad scene to tell you the truth.
I understand my situation happends all too often, and I know people do get over it, but I guess I am just asking advice. I am only 22 years old, and I have been in the Army for 4 years now, I joined right after graduation fro*m High school. But I guess it was after I came home, and seen all the nonsense that goes on in what I can really describe the civilized world, I only sink lower and lower into depression... I worked so hard to get over to Afghanistan, and now that it's over I have nothing left to look forward too, and now that my one and only is off doing her thing, it seems life only goes down from here. I never once thought of the aspect of suicide ever, and now, it seems that my perception has changed, for the pain hurts all too much, not to say I would ever commit suicide, but I guess this is all just verbal spillage onto a computer screen and I guess it makes me feel just a tad better.
Any ideas how to get over what it seems to be incurable depression and sadness? It seriously feels as if I am rolling with the tide, with no direction at all... Please anything will do, even sarcastic moronic comments.. Just anything...
Justin.
