The WS Mental Health and Empathy Thread

[Wolverine]

My grandma has passed away. I hated to see her suffer with the health problems and losing my uncle back in March. Now she's at a better place, no longer suffering, reunited with my grandpa, my uncle and my dad in Heaven.

RIP Grandma. I love you and I will miss you.

Sorry to hear that Doom. I hope things get better. At least you had time to prepare for it.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Really sorry to hear that Nimrod. You always know you can talk to me and many others on this site if you ever need it friend, we're all here for you

 

[Wolverine]

Thank You everyone. I'm taking her death well. I'll be okay.

Well, I'm back in England now, I've lived in America for the last 7 years but now I'm back to try and enjoy the last few weeks/ months my mother will be with us. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer about 2 weeks ago and she doesn't even know if she will bother with treatment as it's so advanced and she just wants to enjoy the rest of her time. She's in her mid 50s.

Obviously I'm pretty shocked and still quite angry at the misdiagnosis that caused this but I'm just trying to be positive for her. I can't imagine the sadness she must be going through. The one thing I'm clinging to (and she is too) is that she will be with her mother soon.

I'm personally just lost in a fucking mess of emotion all of which I'm keeping locked up inside. Barely sleeping now and have had to stop working too. My secondary focus is my dad who has never been alone really and is about to be thrown into that, especially when I return to the states which I plan to do. I haven't even begun to plan for all of that. One step at a time I guess.

I hesitated to post this as I don't want to over share and struggle to even talk to friends and other family members about it but given that you're all (technically) strangers I figured I could write all this down just to help me get it out of my system a little. So for me, that's what's up

I'm so sorry Haza. We're all here for you dude.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Sorry to hear that Haza; spend the time you two have together closely. So many of us never know how long we have left with family and friends, it makes each day all the more important to be by their side.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Damn Haza sorry to hear about that, you’re in my thoughts

I seriously want to apologize for my actions on the shoutbox about mental health and how the psychiatrists failed to get me prescribed with the medication to cope with it. I've not been in a good place and since my grandma died, it has made it worse. Me and my Mom got at it, I've started drinking Hurricanes before 2 PM.

I just want to say that I will more than likely not be on for quite a bit of time, or if I am it will be short. Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, I had a emotional breakdown and I have been recovering from it and all all of today. I personally feel like it is better for me to step away from the internet and some other things for a while so I can get my head right. As well as to ease myself, for a lack of better terms. So thank you to everyone for being understanding and all.

So past couple of days I've not been feeling too good honestly. Been letting things get to me more and feeling really agitated. Today has been the lowest I've felt in a few months for a few reasons, just stuff piling up and overthinking interactions I've had with people. It's just made me feel really shitty and like I'm doing something wrong, but I think it's all in my head. I've been posting on here pretty consistently since July without any sort of break so I'm just going to take a week out to focus on some more personal things and get my bearings about me.

Smark said I shouldn't feel guilty about taking mental health breaks from here, so I've been trying to remember that and stop myself from feeling that way and just taking it if I need it. See you guys soon.
