We argued about it before. One dude was very yes, so thread kind of went no because of course it did. He was murdered.

Scikar: Nov 20, 2005; 5? Seriously?

I just watched this clip and holy gently caress does the BBC piss me off these days: https://twitter.com/Angry_Voice/status/1163518143995809792?s=20

Jo Coburn, in the space of 10 seconds, goes from trying to cut off Laura Pidcock for going off the narrowly assigned topic, to immediately blaming her for not doing enough as the opposition to raise the issues she's talking about. I can totally understand that the BBC has got to this position thanks to Cameron stuffing the board of trustees with political appointments and the editorial line being terrified of dissent, but it's still ridiculous to see the front line presenters follow that with apparently no self awareness whatsoever. You would think they would at least have a small amount of shame over this situation.

We're sharing from time to time, here's my story.

50, diagnosed autistic ~3 years ago (mostly highfunctioning), PTSD from childhood incident, lifelong undiagnosed depression, one suicide attempt at 19, hoarder (I don't throw much away e.g. only just thrown away the box for the toaster I bought in 1992). Drifted into solitude (not loneliness) so no support network (apart from GP). Some private therapy a while back, anti-depressants for a couple of years, mirtazapine now, probably working but it's like my 5th one. Involuntary redundancy after nearly 30 years with BigCompany coming up next month, which I was actually looking forward to as I'm OK for money. Still, it'll probably hit me pretty hard.

I CAN cope with all that poo poo.

The twist.

The one thing that is literally destroying my life is finding that my (bought) flat has a lot of airborne mould spores, and has for ages without me noticing somehow - they escape vacuuming a lot of the time - and it has gone from great to unliveable in the space of a few weeks. My tongue is painfully irritated and burning, my lips both stinging and numb at the same time, metallic taste in the mouth. Textbook mould symptoms. Ironically they go away in bathroom and kitchen but everywhere else is contaminated.

Twistier.

I tracked it down - the mould spread came originally from the cardboard packing boxes I used when moving (escaping) a few years ago from an older house I was living in that had a mould problem, and was the reason I moved! I loving kept them and let them contaminate my new place and now I have the same symptoms!

So I promise you again, my life is bizarrely great despite everything. To the extent that even with Oct 31 looming I was looking forward to a period of unemployment. But I'm stuck in a hellish place I can't get away from and have been up for 52 hours now with the pain and worry - and nothing can relieve the symptoms apart from solving the problem completely and that could take months or years or longer or might not be possible at all.

Called Samaritans multiple times in last ~30 hours. Talked down from looking for painless methods of suicide to escape this hopeless situation. Painful method would shock me out of it like before.

I have a blood tests coming up. I think I should also ask GP to refer me for some sort of lung testing. My immune system won't last forever and I need to see how bad I'm already compromised.

But I did make progress. I have a call out tomorrow to a mould remediation expert.

Somehow I will survive this.

Good on you for getting a professional in to look at the problem. That was a hard step to take when you're emotionally disorganized and you did it so thumbs up. There is the possibility that it is treatable and that things will be ok, after a rough patch of time cost and effort.

I'm the opposite of a hoarder and it seems like you have cash to spare, if you're willing to cover train fare I'll chuck all your mouldy boxes from the 90s while you go to the pub for the afternoon.

(1) Unlikely to be cross contamination as such - black mould spores are literally EVERYWHERE in nature, there's no way you can avoid it.
House mould only survives due to damp, so clear that out from living spaces and you'll be fine. The mould is just the symptom, the damp is the problem.
Clear the walls & floor (hoarded stuff away from walls/floor - just up on shelves even) open windows, and no.1 priority - get the roof checked. My last find was a crack in exterior render combined with a chest of drawers covering the interior wall side. The chest of draws blocked airflow = mould. Moved chest of drawers, installed an outside air vent for the cavity and the mould is gone.

Mould anywhere that's not the kitchen/bathroom makes me suspect damaged damp-proof coarse or leaking roof (or a crack in the render), all of which are pretty easy to fix for a few hundred quid. Once damp is fixed, dehumidifier would be good for the worst parts, but windows open & airflow is the best whenever its not raining (ha!). If you sort out any incoming damp, then the mould will die off. It will stay with black marks tho, only stripping back will get rid completely but they wont be active any more if they have dried out. They will be full of drought resistant spores tho, so damp will bring them back, but no damp = no mould.

If it's taking time, then get the dehumidifier/air purifier now and start using it, but be aware that without addressing the underlying damp ingress from somewhere, the problem is only going to escalate.

Just like that other dispute between nations with those initials, "peaceful negotiations with no outside interference" very much favours the "I", and for much the same reason. When you've grabbed a territory by force, every day you can spend talking about the seating arrangements at the peace conference is another day you can spend reinforcing your grip.
