Mental Health Thread - addendum

Not all moms are special,
Some are just the door by which you came into this reality,
And that was it as far as "care".



Somewhere Al Soldano is glad about something or other.

I'm sure that she has spent many years of her life dealing with and caring for you on a daily basis, as all moms do. Next week will be 3 years since my mom died and I would give just about anything to have her back, even for just one day to thank her for all her love and support over the years and let her know that I love her one last time. There's reason every athlete says 'Hi mom' when they're on tv...moms are special.

I hope Subway is doing ok and makes an appearance soon.

Just because people are dead doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them. In some ways they can talk to you. Listen closely.

Yesterday I ran into a buddy who has been documenting his fight against cancer on facebook. I hadn’t talked to him face to face in about a year. He said he has 2-3 months left. He’s early 50s. Super heavy.

My anxiety has crept up to a new level the last couple of months. Hard to get a break from it.

Just found out someone I knew died of cancer at 34. I knew she was on her last legs because she got put on some "there is nothing we can do" medicine a while back. She had it for 10 years. Still, she kept her head up through all that crap and had 10 years of great living despite the grim prognosis. More than we can say about you guys and your minor life setbacks. They are usually caused by your own mishandling of drugs and drink combined with a weak mental disposition

Someone out there probably had it worse than her too, does that make her issues any less fucked up? Like, seriously...
Isn't it great when someone downplays other people's issues and concerns? It takes a very special kinda of human being to act like that... focus on the word "special".

Keep giving. Stay in touch with family and friends. Enjoy, be grateful, and don't wallow in self pity.

Ok, I'll let you enjoy your anxiety without any further disturbances.

If you think you should downplay the suffering of others I'm not the one who's going to stop you. Do what you gotta do.

Think about the possibility that you might be being trolled.

Yeah, but look where all that positivity got her.

I think I'll stick to my mishandling of drugs and drink and my weak mental disposition.

Wallow?

 

[santacruzin]

fuck bemoaning getting old. I have barrels to catch bring on the TRT, HGH and stem cells!

it does suck to think I am on the downslope of life so I don’t frame it that way.

Dodged death more than I should have, playing with free money now! might as well enjoy the ride.

 

[nolibos]

Ride each wave for as long as I can, paddle back out do it again.

Death is scary. I try not to dwell on it.

Coming from him I hardly think so.

Yeah, unpossible! No history of trolling in his posts.

I think it’s important to note, it doesn’t matter if your mom or dad was the best or not the best.

Adults children taking care of their elderly adult is not the same as when your parents took care of you as a kid.

Especially when you’re 50, 60, or 70, or more.

It’s a whole different physical/mental/emotional experience… not like when you look back fondly on when your kids were little.

 

[casa_mugrienta]

Personally I could see therapeutic suicide in my old age, at least if my wife goes first. I have no interest in living disabled and decrepit. Nobody to depend on me…the planet cares not if I leave. Just get myself to the desert and pop a bullet in my head. The disintegrate back into the earth.

My wife does a lot of that with our 80+ y/o relatives. She doesn’t feel like it’s a burden. Families are different here.

History of trolling among many other things. So I absolutely think he believes people struggling with anxiety are "pussies". If he doesn't he can just come here and say so and I'll have no problem saying sorry.

But you're right, the mental health thread is the best possible place for trolling. Silly me.

Never say you’re sorry on the erBB. It’s un American at best and goes downhill to the 50 shades of gay from there.

Your 15 minutes of fame are over. You shot your wad on Kelly and then had it spit back at you. Get with the program or subject yourself to the consequences.

 

[Aruka]

People with kids tend to do better in old age than without.

I still can't bring myself to have one.

Ditto.

None of my business but how does your partner feel about it?

Mine says she is fine not having kids but I have trouble believing any woman when they say this.
