i've been diagnosed with something caused by my post traumatic stress, from my near death accident.
Bottom line, i'm deemed mentally unable to work anymore and now will be paid just to live out the rest of my days... Retired at age 27 not bad

I'm feeling I have the same thing, where do I apply?
So you're not going to Thailand to box any more then?
And here I thought I'd have to join the army to get such perks.
Well, I guess you can start getting some crazy Japanese consoles like the FM Towns Marty and jump in. Don't go crazy now!
Say what? I thought you were going to Thailand to battle Sagat?
RPGfanatic, I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. Remember, one event should not break your psyche. At a minimum, I would consider "cognitive behavioral therapy". At a minimum, it could help relieve some of the stress you are feeling.
So what kind of accident is this? Do tell. *popcorn*. I love a good story.
As someone who has a fair share of mental BS (without going into explicit detail, bipolar and more hospitalizations than I care to admit), one event shouldn't be the end. I would try to seek help of some kind, either from a psychiatrist, therapist, or possibly both.
Ultimately it's your life and you'll do what you want...but I'd at least give it a shot.
Yeah, that part of it doesn't compute.Quote:

I hope you're joking.
Well spoken and repped for truth.Quote:

Life experience has taught me that I am at my lowest when not working. The less busy I am, the fewer of my personal goals I seem to be able to accomplish and just end up being a zombie.
The only healthy way to live is to maintain some level of involvement in something and have some kind of routine, at least part of the time. The alternative is not very attractive once you live it and truly understand what that means.Quote:
