Dear Reddit Family,

I’m at a point in life where everything familiar has unraveled. Post-divorce, without a home, jobless, and grappling with the shadows of PTSD and depression. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to ask my friends or family for help because I've always been the Man. But no, I feel like half or quarter of the man I use to be.

Alittle about me for context, I served 8 years in the Marine Corps and worked as a contractor for the Navy, and then DLA in support. I use to be proud but divorce has left me stripped down.

So I don't have much to lose, i want to live my life as an experiment, guided by the wisdom and challenges you provide. From deciding where to move, to finding a job, to personal growth every step I take will be based on your advice. I’ll document this journey, sharing the wins and losses, with the hope that it not only reshapes my life but maybe inspires someone else too.

I’m standing at the edge of a new beginning, vulnerable yet hopeful. With your guidance, I believe I can navigate through this fog to a life filled with purpose and peace. Let’s make this journey together.

Thank you for even considering to read this far. Your support means the world to me.
