What did I miss?!?!? - Dentscllyfe - 06-22-2021
Hello All!
I am sure not to many people know me or remember me. I believe I joined the group back in 2017 and when I did I knew I found exactly what I was looking for. Just to give you all a little background on myself, I am a United States Army Combat Veteran who suffers from PTSD and a TBI (traumatic brain injury). There was a time when I was told I would never be normal again and that hopes of my brain working at full capacity (not that I think it ever did honestly) were slim to none. After being fully discharged from the Army I had a pretty rough time adjusting back to civilian lifestyle. I was riddled with anxiety, fear, depression, insomnia/nightmares, and crippling headaches. The doctors could only do so much for me and at one point I felt like a complete lost cause. The one thing that kept my spirits alive at the time (and still now) is my son. He has been the driving factor behind everything good I have ever done in my life and continues to be. (I KNOW IM A DAY LATE BUT HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS READING THIS!!) I know, I do tend to jump around a lot, sorry. To fast forward a little bit I ended up graduating from college and applying to Dental School (hence the name Dentscllyfe), which I had recently got accepted to before joining this great group of human beings! I was tired of being a guinea pig to the world of medicine. Don't get me wrong, by know means do I think I have more knowledge then a physician or psychiatrist, but I do know what works for me and what does not. Around that time I was having a hard time finding a provider to continue the meds I needed. They found it hard to believe I could be so academically successful and have all the issues I have so decided it would be in MY best interest to come off. Long story short it was not. In all honesty I have no idea how or why I even got accepted into dental school. I do get good grades but the more you hear from me you will come to find out that I am far from smart, but one thing I do have is persistence, which I believe is one of the best qualities a person can have. After finding the site I was starting to feel normal again and then I found a provider who would take me on. In that time I did drop out of dental school due to some life issues but am now back in graduate school to be a Clinical Mental Health Counselor! Luckily they have no idea how sick my head is
, it truly is the sick helping the sick in my field, but in all honesty I think it all worked out how it was supposed to.***Sorry, this was not done. actual post below!!!!***

, it truly is the sick helping the sick in my field, but in all honesty I think it all worked out how it was supposed too. I have about a year and a half left and hope to work with Veterans who may have had similar issues returning state side. After my new provider picked up and left the state I am now left to fend for myself once again. Although I am not an expert on anything, I am somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to Mental Health, some medical training, fitness(certified personal trainer), yoga (certified yoga instructor), and putting on a smile for the outside world while forcing myself through day after day! Don't be sad though, it's not as dismal as I make it out to be! I also have a Ohio Medical Marijuana lic. and would be happy to answer any questions on that or anything else I have mentioned thus far!SOOO, I have picked up on a few slight changes and have been going over things as I have the time to but was wondering if there was anything I missed in the last 3 or so years?!?!? I know this may seem like a silly question, and a reasonable answer would be, "Well why don't you read the threads dip shit?", I just thought it would be a fun creative way to engage others on the forum. Anyways I will shut up for now and I just wanted to say it is good to be back and like I said before it is awesome we are all still here. I was having such a hard time remembering the site and one day I was looking through all my saved passwords on my computer and like a light from heaven there it was
! Speaking of that, I was also wondering who I may talk to to see if some of my old email addresses are still good as well? Ok now I'm done. Thank you for the ones who took the time to read this and I hope all is well.
