What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced?

Last year, a botched procedure left me blind in the left eye. That was my good eye. My right eye has a bunch of blind spots due to glaucoma. Been a rough year.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Any possible improvements via technology?

Corneal transplant. I’m waiting on that because the scar tissue left on the eye from the infection and far more serious subsequent inflammation is fading. I want to see how much vision I can get back over the next year or so before I have someone cut out the anterior of my eye to replace it with some dead dude’s.

Living with my ex-wife for 2 years was pretty tough. Mental breakdowns, threats of suicide, threats of calling the police on me and making things up to get me arrested, threats of suing me, "accidentally" hurting herself while I locked myself in the bedroom to get away from her yelling at me (then she called 9-11 because she hurt herself), refusing to allow my male friend over to the house ("he's a , I hate him, he reminds me of my dad"), having meltdowns because I wanted to go snowboarding one time with a friend ("I hope you die up there"), not letting me sleep because she wanted to cry and complain about how mean I am to her, having a meltdown crying fit because my relative sat on the couch next to her "too closely", withholding sex and intimacy...

She has PTSD from before I knew her and her time in the army. Like OP the army kind of fucked her up.

Lesson to the lads, if you're going to stick your dick in crazy don't get the crazy pregnant

Mine was getting off of crystal meth. Had a 10 year run with it. Used to slam it everyday. Massive unhealthy porn addiction that went with it. Used to disappear for days at a time with my family frantically searching the streets and hotels for me trying to make sure I wasn't dead. Put them through absolute hell. I tried rehab multiple times and it never stuck. Finally I entered a year long psychosis where I heard voices coming to kill me every single day. Most terrifying experience of my life. I went to Spain to get electro-shock therapy which finally got rid of the voices and now I've got 6 months clean and will never go back to that shit. Share on sherbros.

I'm sorry that you suffered through such a struggle but I'm glad to hear that you were successful in quitting. Keep up the good fight, man. Peace.

Spending almost a month in jail after being falsely accused of a crime was pretty rough. But, in retrospect compared to some of the things I've read here it wasn't all that terrible. It was just county jail which was more boring than anything else really. Anyhow, after getting bailed out & appearing in court I was exonerated & all charges dropped. Still, I lost four weeks of my life & freedom.
Then, to make matters worse, in order to make bail I had to sell off my prized comic book collection for just a fraction of what it was worth. Which, in the end, proved to be just as painful as spending 28 days locked up.

Did you lose your job?

 

[sweetviolenturg]

Did you lose your job?

Thankfully, no, because I was self-employed at the time. But, I did lose a month's worth of work & wages. Which sucked but I recovered those eventually. But, I never did get my comic collection back. Which still irks me to this day.

Go back to the OT, whatever that is, if you just want to pour salt on wounds and inflame them. If you want to spend time here, in the mayberry, then learn to develop a sense of humor about yourself.

I've seen a few of your attempts, at humor, but it was just low grade malicious trolling in order to feel powerful by inciting empathy in others as if possessing the capacity for compassion was a sin worthy of your sadism.

TLDR

Leave @Konster alone. He looks like a broke Max Holloway and he's feeling insecure about his piss belt.

This has become a piss-poor forum. The lack of structure has made it bland and worthless for any serious endeavor. It was fun in the beginning, before child-like demeanor became the norm. This board has lost it's value. See ya'll later.

Good riddance. don't let the door hit you on your way out and don't come back until you are ready to develop a sense of humor about yourself. The ability to have a sense of humor about oneself requires a little bit of a thing called maturity, try it sometime you might actually like it.

While you took pleasure in @Skevious Manholelicker 's seemingly abrasive posts there is a difference in his posting style and yours. His posts in this thread parallel @King Koopa posts in tranny threads. Where there is an abrasiveness towards something they don't comprehend that leaves the possibility for a breakthrough such as when skevious manholelicker got in touch with his pain over his brothers death. Your posts on the other hand are just malicious trolling aimed at triggering others for your sadistic pleasure.

The last part is pretty accurate. I’m not even mad.

Never had problems with alcohol or drugs, or even legal. I guess I never had the necessary amount of self hate to do that shitty things to myself.

I broke up a 6 and a half year relationship with the most amazing woman (person too) I have ever met. That was just 7 months ago.. still getting over it and missing her from time to time.
It was the right call and we are 100% better this way but is though to realize you had someone very special next to you and you start dating other people just to realize most of them are not remotely close to what you had.

I had to overcome a lot of fears tho. Handle violence was one... still after a decade of kickboxing training I get anxious when sparring but it has improved a lot and made me much better.
Still have to make a full transition and leave a 12 years career that has bored me to death and make something meaningful with my life. I guess my next challenge is to find out what the fuck that is... hard to do.​

I had a construction company that was very successful but I tried to do too much too soon and it imploded. Doubled-down on expansion and trying to get big/corporate clients which ended up alienating the clientele I did have. Became unprofitable very soon after that.

Second business was cleaning and restoration services. I didn't know shit about it but thought I'd try to cash-in. Bad idea from the start.

How did you straighten out your money/control your debt

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

How did you straighten out your money/control your debt

Bankruptcy and years of counseling. Got to the root of my motivations and the traits/bad thought processes that lead to my failures. I pretty much went into hiding after the second business went under and in that time took a long look at myself. Concentrated on getting through the divorce first and then got back to it after the dust settled.
