How does one deal with extreme bitterness?

If you have seen some of my past questions, you might be able to tell that I have a few issues to deal with. The most severe one would be bitterness.

Just to illustrate how bitter I have become, I should probably explain the events that led to this bitterness. This is going to sound a lot like a pity party. I'm not trying to make you pity me. I'm only trying to offer my point of view so that maybe you can understand my emotions better.

Ever since I was a kid, it has been my dream to join the US military. I studied their ranks, formations, various types of vehicles, uniforms, chain of command, weapons, tactics, you name it. I was obsessed with my research.

For my senior year, I got accepted into a military school. My studies increased, and I became even more passionate to serve.

At the end of the school year, I was contacted by several recruiters, one from each branch, including their reserve and guard components.

Each one of them turned me down for having Tourette's syndrome. At first, I was okay with this.

But slowly, as I got more menial jobs, I started to seethe and hate the military. I would often wish I was in Iraq instead of a kitchen. I invested so much, and got nothing.

Now, not a day goes by that I'm not green with envy and hate. I often ponder ways to plot revenge. I need advice and understanding. Yes, I've said pretty crappy stuff in previous posts, but lately, it's all I know. I just can't get this hate out of my life. Thank you for your help.

    I want you to know that no one is perfect. If you go and pull everyone's life file then you'd see that we all have something wrong with us. I've been through a situation similar to yours. I've always wanted to join the army, I met with a recruiter signed up got in shape, lost 50 lbs aced the asvab. When I finally arrived at basic training I got frustrated with my self and signed out. I've always struggled with ADHD even as an adult but I try not to let it hold me back. I'm currently working and going back to school. If you feel like the military is your thing then try again but if not then find something else. Don't hold bitterness against the men and women who fight for you. Pick up the pieces and find your niche in life. I pray you find happiness soon man...
