- Because I am on fire
I was just having a little dip am good and I hope you are mental health is no joke I lost my dad / cuz / and my friend to suicide it's the biggest killer in men aged 18 -35 in the UK I no that for sureIf you want to ride this ride of life, there are just things that are gonna happen. Adapt and overcome!!!
That's coming from an "A-type" personality. Being humble is not a part of normal life, but I got a crash course in it when I got hurt in the military. It took a year and a half of the hardest work to come back to full sea duty. That was pretty damn good for someone that was told that they'd never walk again. Adapt and overcome!
Getting older is pretty similar. Moving a certain way hurts, do it different. Can't find shit because you can't remember where ya put it(age or stoner related)? Be more attentive on where ya set things. When I have work outside or have to drive some distance, I have to start with a hot soak bath to help with pain and inflammation. Adapt and overcome.
Getting old is not for chickens or pussies. Dealing with it mentally and physically is a difficult part of the problem. Both present different aspects that ya have to learn to deal with. Realize the things that you can and cannot change and go from there.
To be honest, dealing with it mentally is the most difficult for me with my personality.
It's difficult, but FAR better than the alternative. That's what I have to remind myself from time to time.
I also have vets in my friend circle so although not first hand I do understand how u feel . my friend lost 3 of his team in an IED attack on his convoy he had some really bad injurys but is super lucky to live with facial scaring and some damage to his legs but he walks and talks fine it's the mental scars that I no do the damage for him
God bless
