they tell me to stay motivated

What the hell is wrong with you? You're just being a big baby. Look at the positive shit and get yourself out of this rut.

how about you go to hell you fat ass bitch

there is nothing positive here

fuck you

I know the feeling, and the conversations, which are all too often with myself. Anything in particular happen recently to make you want to go home, or is it the lack of purpose/activity?

:eyebrow:

Chill out Anthony. You are capable of getting where you need to go. I understand what stress can do to a person, but remember...the moment when everything seems like it's crashing down on top of your head does have to end eventually.

Personally, I had a meltdown at work tonight and screamed at no less then four people. I may get reprimanded for it...but dammit, I could not take it anymore. Just count to ten, again and again until it works. That's what I did once I caught hold of myself. That's what I try to do every time. It just doesn't always work right away. 😉

I know you're in a seriously stressful situation, Anthony, and I'm sure that gets to you. Everyone here hopes that you get out of that situation soon, and knows that you are strong enough to bear the burden in the meantime. Keep pushing, man.

Just keep grinding, man. We're all here if you need to just vent.

I know I can speak for each and every one of us when I say that we greatly appreciate everything that you are doing.

Yeah. It's a stupid war, but the cause that you fight for is in itself one of the most noble you can imagine.
We all definitly want you back on home soil safe and sound.

this is one small part of your entire life. stick it out and get it over with. don't let stupid shit assholes get the better of you. =/

Come on Anthony! You're a tough guy, you can pull it together for just a while longer!

I know you're in a massively crap-filled situation at the moment, but it's just temporary. Keep telling yourself it's just a little bit longer, and soon enough you will be out of Irak, and back to your regular life.

:P Just do what ya can. You're at the sharpest point of th egrinding sotne now...just stay strong for a bit longer, and it'll get better.

Thanks guys.

How much longer do you have to be there, anyway?

Another 5 months. I've been here since October of 07.

Hon... do your best to hang in there. And when the going gets rough come let the steam off here. Thank you for doing what you are doing... and try to remember - strength comes thru endurance <hug>.

Hopefully the next 5 months will pass by as quickly as possible. 😊

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

Talking to yourself on the fucking Internet is the second.

Or maybe he's in a stressful situation and posted at a site where many of his friends are. No need to be an ass.

Also, Tony, remember it's only five more months. And on the plus side, we live in friggin Illinois so you know everything is pretty much the same as when you left.

More corruption in Chicago, and more corruption in the state government; you're not missing much 😉 I hope the next five months go quickly for you.

5 months? So does that mean home for Christmas? That's worth looking forward to, if it really is the case.

Chicago isn't Illinois. Chicago is Chicago. Everything above I 80 is Chicago. Its its own world up there. 😉

And no, I don't think I'll be home for Christmas, I think I'm going to just miss it. Oh well.

There's new years to look forward to. What better way to bring in the new year than a big fuck to you to where you're stationed.
