After recently splitting up with my girlfriend im trying to rebuild my life but i dont know where to start.

All my friends i knew have recently uprooted and moved to various cities around the country and i don’t really get to see them anymore. I currently don’t have a full time job so i find myself at home alot.

Im in the Territorial Army/ Reservists/ National Guard (depending on which country your from) and im thinking of going to Afganistan. But should I go ASAP to get out of my rut i seem to be in or should i try to sort my own life out first?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this.

I reckon you should probably sort out your life first. Probably search around to see if you can get a job first. However, if you do get a job I doubt you would be able to go to Afghanistan as well. I aren’t sure about that though. How long would you be in Afghanistan for?

erm in total about 10 months. Im just wondering if in those 10 months i can think about where my life is going. Life would be so much easier if you could pause it for thinking time lol.

I agree it would. Well in that case I guess going there wouldn’t be a bad idea after all. I’m contradicting myself here, sorry. I guess if you did go to Afghanistan then you would be able to concentrate on your life and decide what you want to do. I think 10 months is enough time. I hope it goes well for you.

Yeah i’ve started thinking that. Im just not sure how to break this loop i seem to be in with myself. But your right, leaving the country to distract myself won’t make the thoughts so away.

i think you should sort out your life FIRST. if you go to afghanastan, you may not come back. i don’t mean to say it like that but that is the reality of war. i don’t think you should run away from your life. if you want to run away, go on vacation, don’t run away to war!
