The first couple years after I left the military was a very hard time for me. My life changed in so many ways. I went from commanding a force of men behind enemy lines to driving a school bus for ten dollars an hour, struggling to pay the rent. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and alcoholism took it's tole and came very close to ruining, and even ending my life. I was at the end of my rope and had no one to pull me out of it. When you leave the military, they turn their back on you and don't help you start a new life in any little bit. It's disgusting. I started doing volunteer work and ended up running a Scout Troop where I met an angel who has helped me in so many ways. I have had to rebuild my life and having done that, I am so blessed that she's a part of it. I've never met anyone sweeter, kinder or more caring than her. I'm going to marry her one day.

I was in the middle of college, suddenly realized that I hated my major.
I work interning for the same area as my major and I was fired around the time I realized I hated my major. I don't know exactly what came first but I was so ashamed that I was actually fired - I had never been fired or even displined - ever.
It took me over a year to figure out what to do. I acutally still not quite sure. But I did discover its not the end of the world if you don't know. Life is short, enjoy it.

well i know that for me i lost myself during the throws of drug addiction... it was a horrible time in my life and i was in and out of rehabs and then one day i found myself waking up after an overdose soakin wet in front of the ER and i was like ****...what if i wouldnt have woken up? i didnt even know where i was! that was 6 months ago and i am still struggling with finding out what and who i am...i know this sounds corney but having a spiritual connection with a higher power really keeps a person down to earth...sometimes when i feel like **** i say the sereinity prayer...*God, grant me the serinity to accept the things i can not change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference* if you just realize the meaning in that and apply it to your life i think things will sort out on their own...i do know that re-finding yourself doesnt happen in one day if it is something that deep, or maybe you just did something that you regret and need to take a step back and forgive yourself and hope it never happens again! good luck

1983. The job I had was stressing me out. It was affecting me to the point that I was being unkind to people for no reason and a few other things that I don't care to mention. I realized that who I had become wasn't the me I was used to.
So I quit the job and got a less stressful job, and the old me came back. So whenever I run into someone who reminds me of the hateful me that I was, I wonder what is going on in their life that is causing them to act that way.

I feel like that happens everyday lol. No but seriously this is a good question. I try to find myself everyday but I honestly don't think I've found myself quite yet. Sometimes I feel like I have, but then I discover a lot more of me is missing. So I keep searching.

Everyday at work I lose myself. As soon as I come home sit on the couch for a few minutes I collect myself. Then I walk my dog and then and only then do I truely re-find myself.
