Got fired from my waiter job a few months back (frick you Red Lobster), dropped out of college and I'm back living with muh parents. Also just spent my last bit of money on various drugs. I don't think I can join the military because I'm taking a low dose of meds.
Is there any hope for me?

What meds? I would imagine you could get a waiver if its prescribed ...

The fact that you got shite canned as a bus boy @ red lopsta is more troubling I think

Take a little time and figure out what you're really interested in and then bust your arse.. Don't get down on yourself, just figure out what you want and then go for it. You can't give up.

Have you looked into a vocational school? They're often easier to swing than college and offer better careers. If you don't want to get back into the classroom just yet then absolutely try to find another job, it can be a low paying shite job but working in any capacity will make you happier and set you up better for the future.

I don't know what's going on with you and your meds but if you can work then do. If you can't find a job then at the very least volunteer it will get you out of the house and maybe get your foot in the door somewhere.

Is there hope for you? Absolutely.

Everyone goes through bad times, everyone. It will end eventually and things will turn around but for that to happen you've got to adjust your mindset and not beat yourself up. Things suck right now and you may not feel great about yourself or your prospects but it won't always be that way and you can change it.

Accept who you are and where you are and don't obsess or torment yourself over it, come up with a plan put your head down and drive forward. You'll be ok man.

get off dope and learn a trade. Machinist, welder, HVAC, carpentry, plumber, etc.

It'll be hard work, but you will profit if you apply yourself.

or

vote democrat and live off someone else's paycheck

Yes.
Beat whatever holds you down, but don't ever question hope.....It's what keeps most of us going.

Go speak with a recruiter. Be up front with them on your condition and see if it's even an issue. If it is, ask about getting a waiver.

I've been where you're at, joined the military, got some structure and changed my life. Now I'm married and have been fortunate enough to be successful. By my standards at least. So can you.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and be proactive and productive in turning it around. I come from a huge family full of drug attics, murderers(multiple) and people with a completely wrong outlook on life. Trust me, it can be done. The people you surround yourself with will play a huge role in how much success you have. Cut off the loose ends and move on. Get off the drugs and set goals. At the end of the day you have to look yourself in the mirror and answer for where you're going and what you've done. It's easier with a clear conscience.

Look up Dr. Wayne Dyer and buy his audio cd The Power of Intention. It was huge in my turn around 5 years ago. Hopefully it can be in yours as well.

Good luck

I won't pretend to act like I can answer your problems for you, but I will drop a saying that was taught to me by my Stepdad who was a former drill instructor for the Marines.

"whether you think you can or you can't.... you're right"

Let that seep into your subconscious for a bit while you search for your path, but keep in mind that what you have done thus far in your life you are obviously not happy with.

They're hiring right now if you're looking for an adventure for a few months. Plus it's. way to get a break from your parents.

The military is probably not going to be the route for you; there is a waiting list now (or so I've heard) and the meds will flat disqualify you.

Oilfield is a good route though. The work is hard and the hours are.... Well, kiss holidays good bye. The pay is good though and you can learn a trade on the job.

I thought you were wanting to go teach overseas ? What ever happened with that ?


And my advice would be go get a job in landscaping or construction... If you're living at home you can make decent money and the hard work will be good for you... The fall is right around the corner as well... Maybe contact your local Park and Rec and see if they have any openings for part time work refereeing kid's soccer games (they always do).


Good luck, Brother




ETA: Lay off the drugs until you find steady work again ... It will only worsen your depression... Once you're gainfully employed again then you can get back to smoking and rolling on your days off.

You'll never go wrong opening yourself up to the Holy Spirit and asking God for guidance and help, humbling ones self before the Father in prayer on bended knee restores your spirit.

I know it's easier said than done, but if you're on klonipin already you need to lay off the drugs and drinking. Benzos have such an insanely high potential for abuse especially when combined with other substances. I imagine you're self medicating for whatever issue (anxiety) got you the benzo scrip in the first place.

Anyway, it's cliche but start a regimen of self improvement. Set some goals. Exercise (this is a huge one for naturally dealing with depression and anxiety). If you start consciously improving yourself, doors will begin to open and the way may become clearer.

Stop doing drugs. That would be a start.
