The "let's talk" thread

[hilts]

Bump.

@Lavinda Past No pal, am the saddest thing on BM, or I feel like I am.

My acute tinnitus has been driving me nuts lately and I feel really low right now. Anxiety has kicked in bad and I'm depressed more than I have been in ages. I don't think my excessive drinking and smoking is doing me any favours, especially having been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I'm waiting to see a doctor to discuss it. I feel tired and getting blurred vision on and off. My sleeping is up the wall and I'm not looking after myself. I'm unemployed and can't work regular hours and hold down a job working regular hours and feel in despair.

Some days I turn my phone off so I don't see texts or calls. There's much more than this than I can talk about. Nothing illegal and I'm not being threatened by anyone. Well maybe I am but not in a physical way.

I think i need counselling for for PSTD to try and shift the heavy pressure in my head.

I don't know what else to say except this forum has been keeping my mind off things so I thank you all for making this a good place to be, a special thanks to my real life friends I've met through here. Thanks blues.

If you haven't seen it there was quite a lengthy type 2 diabetes thread in here with loads of good stuff in it, might be worth you checking it out mate. Have you contacted your GP to get help with counselling? Tinnitus must be a pain in the arse and not being able to get any respite from it must be maddening.

Fucking hell mate... that's a nightmare! I'm really glad hear that you've found BM to be a 'safe place' where you can escape for a while.

I think we've all been there, or close to it, at some point in our lives, and I agree that BM - particularly 'Off Topic' - has been a place to find kindred spirits if not friends, who have made the day a little bit more tolerable.

Keep strong my friend, we're all behind you!

Thanks pal. Appreciate your concern.
