For the record I wish ER the speediest of recoveries. He’s seems to be in good spirits and coping well. Much love. Kia Kaha.
I suspected it might be this guy, sex parties and “I’m coming on you now Nolanator” type WTFNolanator wrote:This is the guy who played BF and was saying all the funny stuff!
The getting over the gf bit was ages ago, but he's struggled on and off since then. I reckon it kicked off something deeper than just getting over a relationship.
I was worried that he'd ride irresponsibly when his head wasn't right, but as fortune would have it, he hits the back of a car when he's doing ok by all accounts.

It's very difficult to convince someone to seek counselling. I think it's ultimately a decision for the person affected on their own. Sometimes this can take a long long time. I think I know 3 or 4 mates/acquaintances that could benefit from seeing a counselor, and early on I tried to subtly suggest as much to them or their partners. Now I just leave it. You can lead a horse to water...Wendigo7 wrote:Checked myself into counselling this week. Guess it's been coming for about 15-17 years ish, so it's never too late I guess.

I think I would feel the same way bro. I hope you have people around you who you can talk to about it. No use letting those feelings simmer, it will only eat you up.eugenius wrote:I can’t quite get my head around how crap I feel after losing a mate to suicide a couple of weeks ago .

To GWO2, so sad to hear, hope your meeting with the doctor goes well and that you and your wife get the support you both need. And as someone else said make sure you look after yourself as well.
Speedracer that was a hell of a post and to be able to post it here I think speaks volumes about the good place you're in now, much respect to you and your wife. Hope it all continues on the up for you and your family.
Not sure if it'd make you feel better or worse, but perhaps worth looking at 'The Restaurant that makes mistakes', on Channel 4. A restaurant staffed by people with dementia, showing all the different varieties and situations. I thought it was really educational, as well as touching.GWO2 wrote:Wignu wrote:Thanks for your words all, have run EAP and made an appointment.

Thanks Wignu, she has seen the doctor and the psychiatrist and has been diagnosed as having Dementia. Finding it very hard on occasions, especially when she cannot remember which channel she wants to watch on TV or even know how to switch the TV on. I seem to cope ok mainly but find it does not take much to make me weepy. I think I`ve cried more tears this last six months than I had when I was a baby, and I`m 73 now. The Upside is they have given her a tablet they believe can slow it right down and even slightly boost her as it is early.

Look if it doesn't work first time around, you don't feel a connection with the person you're talking about, you can go to someone else. That happens. And you need to be okay with who you're talking to.Wendigo7 wrote:Checked myself into counselling this week. Guess it's been coming for about 15-17 years ish, so it's never too late I guess.
Only drop in here from time to time. You seem like you've got it under controlEverReady wrote:Week something or other but nearly there. Felt good during the week but then got my chemo infection. Same as last time about 10-14 days after chemo you are vulnerable and I have a rake of snotty kids. Temp up to 39.1, puking face off and off into Lukes. Rang them and they tried to send me to James as per weekend protocols and myself and the SHO had a frank discussion about how that wasn't happening. Turns out nurses told him there was no beds when there was two. Not sure what they were at. Anyway nearly there 8/35 radio fractions left and one big bang of chemo. Skin around neck and back quite burnt now so would imagine next week and the week after will be ouchy. Throat still not that sore so not using much morphine. They think I am being a brave little soldier as they say it looks very sore but it genuinely isn't that bad. Totally soft diet now which means soup but it's fine. They wanted to put in the feeding tube at one point but I persuaded them against it as I thought I could do without. So far so goodish. Cancer last night 8 this morning a lowly 4

Keep fighting the good fight ER. Ah peppermint tea.. reminds me of the time MissI chastised F2V for not trying her aunties bonafide herbal remedy for cancer and then got all indignant when people told her to wind her neck in.EverReady wrote:I think we can all agree Râguebi has taken it next level. Any way I might as well finish this off between this and next week. Discovered on Thursday I was getting 220mg of cisplatin not 100mg. No wonder I f**king puked for Ireland. Bloods were a bit shitty as had ended up in hospital with fever again and after intially saying no chemo today they went ahead. Was delighted as that finish line is not for extending. So ropey as fudge now
Had to give my self an injection in the belly last night called Neulasta. €1100 a pop. Cause of all the Infections they have me on loads of mad expensive anti biotics leading into each other up to about day 18 post chemo. I would like to note again I injected myself like Jason Bourne. So three more radio and then the 3-4 month wait to see if I am clear. Pretty sure I am as I drank a lot of peppermint tea

That's a key question. Flat as in meh, flat as in a feeling of nothing, flat as in detachment. How do you mean?

Ramming Speed - I thankfully have a sister who's perceptive enough and knows I'll listen to her. It's down to the individual to get reflective on their life and understand why things are going wrong. For X, Y or Z. The subject is material if the effect is perilous.
