Hi
Not sure I should respond so I will..
10 years ago I was given a max of 6 months to live, I'd just got married and was completely pole axed , on the way back from the appointment with the specialist I was looking at motorway bridges with a view to hitting them at vmax
I got home and told the missus , lots of tears and we decided to do a farewell bash for friends and family, totally surreal experience .
To cut a very long story short , I went into remission and touch wood should have a normal life expectancy.
I gave up smoking and rediscovered extreme fitness and I'm a minor miracle in medical terms.
The answer for me was IMHO in my own head, my problems were big but deep down I think I had the only possible answers already in my head, you are probably the same.
Best of luck and PM if you want more psychobabble s
t !

Then you haven't hit your lowest point my friend. You have a missus who you love and no doubt loves you, your health and a roof over your head.
Wait till you hit a low point. When you phsically won't or can't get out of bed because there doesn't seem any point. You don't eat and you attempt suicide a mulitude of times.
Chin up buddy. Your just having an off day. Go for a walk in the morning over the park with the wife. Everything will seem a lot brighter then.
Good luck.
You should have put this straight after your inital question, you'd have come over as much less of an aWait till you hit a low point. When you phsically won't or can't get out of bed because there doesn't seem any point. You don't eat and you attempt suicide a mulitude of times.

Fortunatley for me imaginary peoples opinions of me on the internet aren't taken to heart. My post was genuine and so was my response. I'll ensure to file your complaint though and get back to you with a full report within 24 hours.hole.sc0tt said:

Fair enough, I enjoy your post's generally, don't change. Chili is someone I have known ( through forums only ) for years, so I sort of feel protective towards him.Kinda sad to hear of his problems.

Unfortunately for you, most of us aren't imaginary, and you don't come over well in this thread. The sarcasm in your response to me, when I was being nice, just shows you up more Your post came over nastily; that you are later having to justify yourself to most of the posters on this thread proves that. If you'd put your later comments in your inital response, you'd not have that problem.

Ok cheers!Your post came over nastily; that you are later having to justify yourself to most of the posters on this thread proves that. If you'd put your later comments in your inital response, you'd not have that problem.

Ever thought about suicide?
Absolutely uncalled for, no need at all. To the OP is there a particular cause to the hard times? There might be people on here who can help with a solution. And even if not it might help to vent.
Anonamoose, yes there is a cause to the hard times. Its all very long winded but dates back to 17th of May when i was working away on a tour in Belfast. We had some free time, and so went for a beer in town, sadly i slipped over on a wet patch in the bar, (i was sober) but the injuries i received were pretty severe, a perforated ear drum, 2 fractures on my skull and 3 internal bleeds on the brain
Its these injuries that have had the huge impact on my life. I know just how lucky i am even to still be here today and am very thankful for this.
But ever since i've been fighting the system, mainly the DVLA medical board, and my local council being the 2 main culprits, and no matter how hard i try and fight, the system just seems to want to keep kicking you when you're down. I think it wants you to just accept what they tell you, and expects you to roll over and play dead. I do not agree with their train of thought and have tried, and am still trying every avenue i can to get the wrongs, (in my opinion) put right but sadly with little success

Original post question?
It's st mate & I wish I could help. In his own special way, Sc0tt is right, you haven't hit your lowest point yet.
The only way from here is up, it may take a while & the road may go down a little further before it heads upwards; but it will do so.
I'm assuming you both are out of work at the moment, have you signed on? There's no stigma about it, you've paid in, you are one of the people that it is there for; rather than those who have never paid into the system.
Sometimes, all you can do to survive is to stop looking out into 'the future' and instead think more moment by moment. It is good to plan, it is great to dream but when life presents events that try and break you, that's when you need to be clever. Take a different path or approach. Think less of the challenge and more of the moment. My worst moment was not when my wife died and I left her in the hospice cooling, but twenty minutes later when a stepped in to our home that I had not stepped foot in for more than five minutes in the previous three months and realised the sheer enormity of loss.
Sometimes, it's not about the fight, nor wining nor losing, it's about living within the context and parameters that live presents you with. The trick with life is the dance, no matter how hard the beat becomes, to still dance regardless.
