If they're closing CSpam we should petition to have this thread moved. This is a good thread that people need.

Was very useful for trying to stop my brain's babble when trying to fall asleep.

The cold shock is something my last therapist taught me for aborting panic attacks and I'll be goddamned if it doesn't work!

There's always NCTV, but that's more of a chillpost hangout zone that does events and not so much a forums for posting. I assume an offsite would spring up somewhere but it probably wouldn't last. that being said it's absolutely pointless to speculate over because that is such a catastrophic event that any plans you could make for it would be upended so easily that it's not worth spending processing power on

I didn't donate money to the new spine fund so that I'd have to find a whole new community less than a year later.

thread: thanks for your encouragement. I stopped drinking the day before yesterday and I'm doing fine. I just picked up 7 week old trash out of my apartment and took my hoarded garbage (FIVE BAGS) to the apartment dumpster an old friend invited me out to a Chanuka gathering with an average age of 65 and I forced myself to go. I forgot how funny I am and that people like being around me I'm going to send helpme texts to all my old friends begging to invite me to any gathering, no matter how obscure, and I'm going to go no matter what I think that perhaps having fun and telling jokes at these events I might even (finally) get a job. Thank you all.

OK Boomer posted:thread: Another mental health thread success story I still miss booze to this day, and it's hard to be around it and would honestly probably relapse if I didn't have my wife looking after me at most social events. But, I feel tremendously better without it than with. That's the problem with alcohol and mental illness: it's never an immediate reaction, but it settles in a few days after, and there's enough time between the two that you never directly associate it.

Yeah, it's the worst, and it took me way too long to associate a binge with the feelings I would get 24-48 hours after. I would put down a couple bottles of wine on Friday, then wonder why I couldn't get thoughts about my loved ones dying out of my mind on Sunday. Alcohol is the most insidious depressant drug I've ever used.

Every time I talk to people who drink I am glad for my continued distaste for alcohol and being drunk. I'll stick to weed.

I was talking to one of my regulars this morning who works at the parent company, which isn't union,and his take was "job sucks, don't do it if you have kids because they'll gently caress you around, but it makes bank" so, I'm cautiously optimistic The only thing I'm worried about is my insurance changing and having to change therapists

I had a really stressful day today, bringing my mom into the hospital to have a G-J tube put in. Her blood sugar was 389 (normal is 80-120) and they had to hydrate her and regularly inject insulin to bring her sugar down to a safe operating range. It took 7 hours, but they did it and successfully inserted the G tube. They're going to wait three weeks to make sure she's OK before putting in the J tube and I'm probably going to have to take FMLA time to take care of her, but I have ~70 days of FMLA eligible leave so whatever. So, despite lovely news and the fact that my mom will likely never going to be able to eat solid food again, things are pretty good considering she was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic cancer and estimated to have a few weeks left in April 2017. Chokes McGee posted:hell yah. I just grabbed it and will put it in the op if it looks good.

It was the therapy that did the best for my mom's PTSD. But yeah, it usually jiggles some stuff open. Hoping the best for your wife, I think it's ultimately a good thing though.
