It sucks being 27 years old and having to spend 1/2 the day in bed and the other half dragging my legs around as I walk with my cane  . Depression has pushed me to the edge a few times and I have honestly thought at times "if I end it, who will take care of my tank?". In my life it often seems that things are completely out of control and that is when I focus on my tank because it gives me a sense of purpose and control. I just wanted to see if I am alone in this? Does anyone else use their tanks as a life saving therapy? |
Thank you to you and everyone else here that has a bigger set of balls than I. I can't imagine what you've been through and what you're still going through.
I'm sitting at work and this thread brought a tear to my eye. I'm 30 myself. I've never been in combat. I've never enlisted. I've never even considered it.
But I want to thank you for doing something that the majority of us wouldn't even consider. Thank you for putting your life on the line so that I and others could sleep and have all the freedoms that we take for granted on a daily basis.
How about some photos of this tank and others?
