As far as the career direction bit - I found it helpful to treat my transition like an experiment. I created a list of jobs that kinda sounded interesting and used services like Veterati to connect with vets who were in those areas - picked their brains about career progression, perks of the job, pain points, the type of people who succeed, and pay expectations. If you tell them you’re interested in their journey and just want to learn, there’s no awkward pressure around them placing you.
Of course, if they like you, they’ll provide further resources and connections to further your goal.
If you don’t like what they have to say - good, you can cross that off your list and move on to the next area you want to explore without needing the firsthand trial-and-error.
Thank you for letting us know! Being a new father is overwhelming. It's a huge new role, and many of us have been where you are, not sure how we will provide.
Please know we are here if you want to talk. Please start talking to someone regularly. Your family and you will be so glad you did.
Good advice EYP1!
Leaving the military and a new baby can compound ANY issues however big or small. Look into the VetCenter as opposed to the VA for mental health. A lot of the therapists and counselors have served and typically empathize better than civilian therapists.
Please take care of yourself. If you need some accountability we’re here.
