My commute would be 20 minutes because I’m only 10 mins from the border.

I heard for state jobs you have to live in that state but I wasn’t sure

Anyone else scroll then get the urge to daydream and do a quick little run around the room and sit down again? And just keep repeating that?

I see so many people do continuous movement and daydreaming so idk if anyone else is like me

What comes first for you?

I don’t need to get a job related in history, I regret picking the major.

Been a SAHM since graduation college. A few years of clerical work is on my resume but nothing else :( what’s my next best move?

I wish I enjoyed sitting down and daydreaming but I need high intensity!

I’ll randomly jump out of bed and kind of spin around

The study guides through the website are sooooo expensive! But I want to make sure the books on Amazon are actually legit and helpful.
Any advice appreciated ❤️

Obviously I will not be working out at peak intensity but what exactly is the issue with doing so? Does it have to do with blood pressure?

I don’t have complex storylines and characters. I’ll see something on my phone and put my head phones in and jump around for 20 seconds imagining myself doing that thing. Then i’ll scroll on my phone until I see something else cool. I do that for hours.

I am not creative at all even though everyone on this sub seems to be! Some of you all are so complex and are writing books!

I don’t do one long meandering daydream story, I repeat scenes over and over and rewind the same part of the song while making a repetitive movement (instead of continuous movement).

Only have odd jobs on my resume like babysitter and brief time being a receptionist. I have no desire to be a history teacher

When I google MADD the research says it’s a coping mechanism for depression, a traumatic life etc. and you’re trying to mentally escape the pain by disassociating essentially.

But I’m wondering if anyone else is like me and when things are going well in life, it makes you sooo excited you put on exciting music and just daydream the most amazing things and your heart is beating and you’re jumping around your room. It’s so addicting you can’t stop and you can’t wait to go home and daydream.

Anyone else tense up because the beat drops and your body is flooded with happiness and excitement and your daydream is hitting just right?

That’s why my pacing doesn’t look normal and I get the urge to go on my toes and flap my arms or squeeze my hands

I will have music blasting and my daydream will be so exciting that I either thrash around in bed or sudden leap up and run around.

So embarrassing but I can’t be the only one!

I went to a counselor (technically a licensed clinical social worker) at a counseling center a few years ago. She said she thinks I have OCD. Would meps disqualify me for that?

The sessions were paid for by Medicaid (free). Is it only considered a diagnosis if a licensed psychiatrist said it? Is it still considered serious to the military? I obviously didn’t take any meds for it.

I requested my mental health records from when I saw a counselor a few years ago.

But the counselor included her notes from each session and goes into detail about what I was venting about and some of it is really embarrassing/personal lol.

I’m not sure exactly what I’m supposed to give my recruiter.

*crossposted*

How does that work when telling your recruiter that you’ve been to a counselor before?

The person I saw was a certified licensed social worker if that makes difference.

During a session, she said it seemed like I have mild OCD but she said if I wanted to do something about it I would have to see a psychiatrist to get medicated. I never did and I stopped seeing the social worker and I’m fine now.

I’m worried that her bringing up OCD might get me disqualified. Also in the sessions I brought up stuff from my childhood and I said I would cry a lot in general and I would pray compulsively. The social worker didn’t say anything but simply listened but I’m worried she wrote it down in her notes and will tell a recruiter and he will not let me join.

Anyway I’m just wondering, when I bring up to a recruiter that I saw a counselor a few years ago, do I have to get medical records give them to him? Or will he do that for me? Or do I just get military psych evaluation?

Seeking to join the Air Force. I have not started the enlistment process yet.

Why would I get it for only one and not the others I wonder?

Anyone else not get it consistantly?

I’ll throw myself on the bed or randomly jump up or suddenly sit up in bed. But it’s not repetitive. Pacing doesn’t give me the exciting rush that just randomly making a weird, big movement does.

Also I only daydream for a few seconds at a time before I look at my phone again.
