Serious question. Was ‘why are you posting this here?’ more common in A Squadron or B Squadron circa 2006?

I’m looking to see who else has experience or diagnosis of PTSD as a combat veteran and either got diagnosed with ADHD after their service or (I suppose) before their service if they were still able to some how get through MEPS.

Several providers have told me that veterans with ADHD are more likely to experience PTSD. I still wonder about the full scope of the connection but I don’t doubt it. What have your experiences been dealing with symptoms from both ? I have found that emotional regulation seems impossible at times even being fully medicated. It causes issues in all my relationships. I’ve had relationship issues my whole life but ever since about a year after deployment it seems a lot worse.

Greetings, I grew up singing in choir, had a fairly high quality musical education through private school, continued to sing throughout my adulthood, and now in middle adulthood have realized that I want to sing opera. I'm not seeking stardom or even recognition, I just love opera and want to develop my voice before I get too old.

I have sang for many people who have told me that I have a lovely voice. I want to work specifically on opera though, and I'm ready to put in the work. After sampling various arias over time, I believe I fall somewhere in the baritone range as this is what feels most natural to me.

Whenever someone starts a question with “this might sound stupid…” or “dumb question but…” I almost have a harder time ignoring that part than hearing the actual question.

My instinct is always to push back on it a little because I wonder how many people have been made to feel bad for asking things before.

At the same time, I know that it will instantly derail the conversation, and potentially violate boundaries for someone who doesn’t want to be psychoanalyzed.

Curious if anyone else notices this in themselves too.
