burgerbob Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 When I was marching, I would take a few days to myself, get back into the flow of things. Then I would get back together with real life friends and join the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packetslave Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 This is a semi-serious post, but how did you go about handling this, if you went through it? For the first few days, take your meals outside and sit on the curb. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsubone Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I slept on the floor on my air mattress for a couple of days, because sleeping in a bed just didn't feel right. Getting back into the swing of things takes a couple of days, but getting to see friends from home really helps get things back to normal. The worst kind of depression is the summer right after you age-out after multiple years of marching. That sucks completely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solved this one by going backpacking in Europe the summer after I aged out (also the summer after I graduated college). Still bummed to not be marching, but the trip was a once in a lifetime experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, should have spent this summer doing that, instead of hanging around DCP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Having no such experience, I couldn't say, but I think there may be one thing in common with finishing an Appalachian Trail hike: don't eat too much, and keep getting plenty of exercise.
