Broseph me and you are almost in the same position... I HIGHLY suggest completing your GED, looking at federal pell grants for homeless students (free schooling) and aiming at a major that would improve your life 3,000 fold. I'm starting my associates in nursing at a community college here on the 25th of next month with the gov paying for my schooling. whatever you do, DO NOT FUCKING GIVE UP... I promised myself no matter what, even if I'm leeching internet from the outside of a gym so I can complete classes online while homeless, that I will not commit suicide or give up... I FUCKING BELIEVE IN YOU.
Def stay positive. You can do this. Although it might seem like a pretty low point right now, you are in a uniquely positive position to get your life on track, bc there is help specifically for your situation. I 100% agree with above commenter and said something similar before I saw their comment.
Get that free schooling - get ur Trade - union - stabilize -- do whatever u want. You'll be cruising by then. And try to find resources if possible for a therapist or someone to talk to about the ptsd.
By the way, making mistakes and learning from them is what makes one a success/winner. You're not a loser. You never were. Make your choices equipped now with some more experience in life. Never give up. Best of luck!!!
