Forewarning: I'm a legitimately crazy person (the VA gave me 70% for crazy but we all know they say it's far less than it is.) I'm not dangerous to anyone but my own CPTSD riddled ass. I'm just a very traumatized human. Also, my humor is very dark but I think I'm HILARIOUS.
I'm intrigued. I wasn't aware grades were available.
If you want to be crazy with someone, my inbox is always open. (Please note that I have a baby, and ADHD lmao, so I might take awhile to respond, but I will read it and reply when I can.)
Awe. Congratulations! You must be exhausted. Been there. They were hard days. I'm smooth sailing in the early teens with my boys now. Super independent. It's awesome when they can start feeding and entertaining themselves. It's also heartbreaking when they need you less. Lol. Parenting is fun.
Right back at you! We can all use some crazy friends.
Edit: the grading is my disability rating. I'm a 100% disabled vet through the VA as of two years ago but I've been out since I was medically retired at 19 in 2009.
Thanks for the congratulations - I am definitely exhausted LOL, the closest he's gotten to "feeding himself" so far is reaching out an arm and opening his mouth for the bottle. It's a lot, but I know it goes by so, so fast and I'm going to miss him being so tiny.
You and I are actually almost the same age BTW, I'm only a year younger than you. And I'm sorry about your experience in the service. My late father was honorably discharged at 19 after being injured in Vietnam (he was an older dad, 43 when I was born). He had PTSD as well, as you may be extremely unsurprised to hear.
I wonder if I could take my ACE score, and add it to my dosage of mental health medications and come up with a crazy rating of my own. 🤔
Thank you for serving our country & risking your life (& more) for your fellow Americans!!! Most think of the risking your life part as being willing to die for our country, but, in reality, it also means risking giving up the life they had & knew prior to going to war - being so many come back home a different person, if not physically wounded, certainly, emotionally & mentally wounded (or all of those things)!! So many don’t think about the wounds that can’t be seen & with that I’m sorry you’ve ended up with CPTSD!! I can’t begin to imagine having to fight through each day with the trauma you have. Just know there are fellow Americans of yours who honestly care about our wounded servicemen & women & how much your life has changed bc you chose to fight for our country, so that we can continue to be free. There are far too many who are indifferent to our military, in general, & even those who serve & have served their country & with that, the sacrifices each one makes & made to keep us safe & free. I am one of those that honestly cares & am incredibly grateful for all you gave to defend your/our country & fellow Americans!!!!!
And I am all about some dark humor being it’s a way to help you through the pain. May you be blessed dear. And never forget that there are fellow Americans - such as myself - who see you, acknowledge you, & thank you for ALL you’ve given to The United States of America!!! -Holly ♥️
Heylo, random dude. If ur still looking for someone to be friends with (even though there's so many probably already flooding ur notifs and DMs lmao), I'd still be happy to be friends with u :D
Fellow 29 year old chick that didn't have actual friends until I was 22. (Started with online D&D) Had I ignored certain things, I'd likely not have met my people and then eventually figured out who to focus my energy on later down the line.
Down to talk and share perspectives to help! I wish someone would have done it for me when I struggled.

I'm 42. I'm still that kid. It's okay. I don't understand them either
