This is for my wife. She honorably served in the guard for 6 years. She got out this past October.
She’s pursuing cosmetology and would like to use her education benefits. She applied for the Montgomery GI bill through the VA website but she was denied. It said the reason she was denied is in order to be eligible for the Montgomery, she would have needed to be discharged due to a disability.
This makes no sense to me, we were told by staff at the school this is the one she would need to apply for. Does she need to apply for the post 9/11?

Hi I’m (29F) and I’ve struggled with mental health for a long time now. It’s been specially bad the last 10 years. I’ve tried lots of things including medications, therapy, iop and php, and now ketamine infusion. I don’t know if what I have is treatment resistant or just completely misdiagnosed. I’m not looking to speculate on my condition, but for background I’ve pretty much been diagnosed with everything from asd to bipolar to bpd to ptsd. In any case, these difficulties have led to a lifetime of isolation and failures. I never fit in and I was bullied mercilessly, but I always did well in school. I went to university thinking I could leave it behind me, but I feel like once those insecurities are burnt in some people are damaged. I was supposed to find my “tribe” but I never did. I feel like on my quest to find meaning and fit in I opened myself up for trauma. Drugs and guys just doing whatever they wanted cuz I guess I let ‘em. After the first time I was SA’d it’s like hey what’s another person. I never had much luck acquiring a professional job after school even though I graduated with honors. I worked a bunch of crappy jobs until I finally broke through to an office environment. My lack of social skills and hypersensitivity again made this impossible. Through all of this I did manage to get some help with one doctor ( I had seen several psychiatrists and therapists by this point all of which threw pills and unhelpful advice at me)In 2019, I took the first (only) medication that helped. I was able to work, have better relationships with my family, and even get married. This lasted for about 2 years and I noticed my symptoms began to return (maybe the stress of the pandemic)I attempted to tweak the medication, but the previous prescriber left their position and I would have to work with a new one. To no one’s surprise my prior clarity did not return and my mental illness became much worse. I am now almost 30 unemployed and feeling hopeless. I just sank about 3k into ketamine infusion therapy to get better instead I think things got worse. Or perhaps it’s because I’ve crossed out another treatment option and my other choices are getting smaller. Either way it did not help. I’m trying pills again but I’m not optimistic. What do I need off my chest? Is it the United States shitty health care system? Is it my peers for never accepting me? My parents for acting like I was making this up? I think it’s that I’m mad that an average person cannot get help. No matter how many books I read, how much I meditate, or how much money I throw at it. It’s taken any of the beauty i might of once had; my hairs fallen out, I’m puffy and swollen, my stomach is always a mess, my eyes are dark, and no matter how much I sleep it’s never enough. I’ve pretty much given myself a timer till my birthday in December for me to show significant improvement or I’m done.

Not sure if it’s just me but I do NOT feel bad for Lexi going off on Rae about cheating. I honestly feel like as much as Rae may WANT a relationship, I don’t think she needs to be in one.
She has a lot of self healing she needs to do before she can offer the best part of herself to someone else. & Lexi is an earth sign so now that her mind is set on marriage, that’s what she wants. It’s finite. Thoughts?
In general, I feel like earth signs are better paired with air but that’s an entirely different discussion. 😂

Hear me out in the song spirit of the blues
It says in the lyrics so get your coat on and get moving cause we don't know the meaning of losing so come on come on get down to goodison park.
Whoooooooo
(Alright song over)
So here's the thing when we officially move to our new stadium in Bramley Moore dock
What on earth should our newest song say any suggestions please leave in the comments

What do you tell someone who doesn't know what to do with their life, and wants advice? Someone (42 M) I (40 M) care about has gone through some loss, separation, a few hard financial blows, and doesn't know what to do next, whether to seek a new career. What would you say to them?
In the past he has done landscaping, dog grooming, facilities maintenance, and side jobs fixing small to medium projects in houses like putting in shower surrounds, knocking down and putting up walls, lighting repair, tile, flooring, and painting.
Within recent times he has lost someone, went through a financial loss and lost a lot of his equipment to do handiwork and home repair, and is just working part time retail jobs, working as much as he can or needs to in order to get by.
He has been deliberating over whether he should invest in rebuilding his side business and continue on doing landscaping and home repair, or do something new and move on, and is struggling with deciding what will make him more happy.
On one hand, time passes no matter what you do; 4-5 years retraining, developing a new skill, building a new business or starting a new vocational program seems like a long time. But in 5 years (at least when you're our age) it will feel like that time has gone by in a flash and if you don't use it, it's kind of squandered. The issue with this is that he doesn't want to start all over at his age, which I can't fault, and doesn't want to be tied down to any place or thing, and is thinking of moving somewhere warmer, picking up odd jobs and more retail work to get a foothold somewhere else, somewhere the grass looks greener, somewhere he can spend more time outdoors and in the sun (we have brutal long winters - he's done snow removal as a side job, too).
On the other, leveraging the skills you already have can be a great launching point and might be the easiest place to start. The problem is that he is struggling with how to move forward this way alone. He has had business partners, friends, and family in the past to help, each in their own way or role, and right now is finding himself without the connections he used to have to know where to begin. He has also lost most if not all of his equipment and would need to borrow, or invest practically all of his savings into restarting a side business that has fallen by the wayside and hasn't been generating income or clientele for over a year now.
In my life I've learned, and sometimes I feel like saying, sometimes you just have to pick something and buckle down. Pull the trigger. Make compromises and sacrifices. Things he seems apprehensive to do, and he has been really in his head about finding the "perfect" thing or what will make him the most happy.
That's not how life works, through the trials I've learned. I feel like at some point in everyone's life they have to admit to themselves "I am not superman/supergirl, I'm never going to be a [neurosurgeon, corporate attorney, CEO], and these are the skills I have, the talents I have developed, and the things I enjoy. So option A, B, or C, requires some compromise, sacrifice, and letting go of other dreams, but you either act, or do nothing.
I want to say something supportive, and don't want to come across as harsh, or judging. I realize that inner monologue even though it's self talk comes across to other people, often, as critical or insensitive. My life experience brought me there and it doesn't feel harsh to me. I know that isn't the right way to say it to this one, specific person, though.
What on earth do you say? How do you help inspire, and support someone? What are you supposed to do when someone *is in fact* asking for advice, and isn't ready to move one way or another... for a relatively long period of time?
