What do you do when you find out you can't do the only 2 dreams you had in l!
Question: Ever since I can remember (litterally) I wanted to join the Army. So I was 17 and trying to lose some weight so I could get in but it wasn't comming off very easy thats when I found out I have a problem with my insulin and all that effects my cycles and everything and went to the doctor and found out I'm never able to have kids in my life and that illness just disqualified me from the Army. How much does that suck? Now I have no idea what I'm going to do. I still can't belive it. I never had a plan B because I was for sure that I was going to join my whole life.

This happened to me. I have wanted to be a pilot all my life (my parents are, and we owned a small plane and used to go flying all the time) but then I was diagnosed as Bipolar and that disqualifies me from getting a pilots license. I went through the stages of mourning - it is like suffering a loss. I cried, I got angry, I got sad, and I am still trying to accept it over all. You don't need a plan B yet, go to college, study a bunch of stuff in different fields of study until you find something that interests you and then pursue your options in that field. A lot of people go to college with no plan, so you are not alone in that.
I hope that you can feel better from you loss soon, and don't worry about being upset by it and down, it is all normal. I can promise you that it will be okay though. Just takes some time. Once you go off to school, you will find your calling.
Keep on dreaming, you'll find something new.
Get a second opinion.
Are you female?
What is the medical problem?
You will always have dreams, they change with time. Maybe it isn't as black and white as you think.
Possible resources. Good luck.
Time to sit down and think. Why did you want to join the army? What is it that was so appealing to you? Was it the discipline? the world travel? The grueling hours? Finding out whats so appealing about the military may give you a direction to think about. Next, cruise on line for aptitude tests you can take that will give you more direction. - Plan C - check out Job Corps if you are under 21. They will help you with a structured program that helps you get ready to join the workforce. They even help you get a job and move on your own. As for children - only because you can not have children of your own, doesnt mean you can not have children. Maybe you are supposed to help those children that have nobody, be a foster parent, adopt kids? There are many ways to enjoy children if you open your mind to the possibilities. Good Luck.
I would say keep on finding for your dream; screw what other think and keep on dreaming until all your dreams come into existence.
It is better to live on cloud 9 than for you to live in reality
