Hello
Hello everybody, I made a new account because I stopped using my old email. Years ago I made a post about sleep deprivation and trying out for SF. I came to this forum in search of a mentor.
Long story short, after some thorough soul searching while I was in ROTC, I decided that SF is something I want to do in my life. I wanted to take advantage of my physical fitness, courage, creativity, people skills, and language skills. I thought it was a perfect fit for me until I got diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder and was barred from the military.
After two tries in joining the military with no avail, I became a language speaking flight attendant for a major airline. This job offers me everything I wanted in SF except for the excitement and camaraderie.
I've started to take care of my Bipolar disorder with daily mindfulness meditation, I mean what else is there to do? And by a long shot, maybe one day I'll be mentally fit enough to tryout for SF again. There is absolutely nothing like SF for me in the civilian world, and I will never stop trying, as stupid as it may be. Giving up this dream would be accepting defeat, and it just doesn't feel right. All I want is a chance to prove myself.
Maybe I won't find a mentor in this forum, maybe all I will get is some good conversation, and I'll be happy with that. I'm also here to make friends.
