Throwaway for obvious reasons. So I’ve lurked around this sub for about a year, and have had some bad things happen in my life during this time. I lost all the money I had acquired at 30 years of age about 100K cash and some other resources, and after this happened my wife divorced and left me with my 2 kids. I always though I was a RP Guy, but I wasn’t mentally prepared to lose everything I worked for for so long. I went into a deep depression for about half a year, not knowing what to do and where to go. I stopped lifting, drank myself to sleep regularly, and honestly thought about killing myself many times. I would lurk this sub and try to find a way back to glory. I didn’t have many options as my immediate family basically wanted nothing to do with me, and my friends didn’t want to be around someone who was broke and fucked. I don’t know if this is the right thing for me, but I have joined the military for a couple years to try and get back on my feet. I don’t know if I will stay, but I needed to do something for myself and my kids and try to rise again. This sub helped me through some very tough days, and I can only hope to repay you all by becoming a better man than I was before I lost everything. I ship out in 10 days, and have been lifting and generally getting in better shape preparing for this next journey. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but I was pretty fucked and had to figure out something to do with my life after losing so much. I was mentally destroyed, but this sub helped me pull myself up realize I could still make something of myself after so much bad had happened. Hell maybe I’ll make a career of it m, or maybe I’ll do these 3 years get back on my feet and go do something else. All I know is without this sub I might have killed MySelf, so I just wanted to thank you all for being random internet men that inspired me to carry on, get stronger, face adversity, and become a better version of myself. I owe you all a lot. Thank you.
