Benny the Snake posted:tough stuff Hey Benny, no one's perfect. You're not, I'm not, people in this thread aren't. But what you've done here is a hugely impressive thing, and I defy anyone, even your biggest detractors in this thread, not to applaud you for taking the steps you took to get this diagnosis, and being honest here. I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but your story made me think of some classic Philip Larkin. This Be the Verse They gently caress you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were hosed up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats. Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself. —— Keep going, man. Life from here on gets, on the whole, better. There will be ups and down, and the downs might feel insurmountable, but they're not. The secret is reaching out for help. You'd be amazed at the number of people who'll hang onto you if you just put out an arm. Churchill might be a crotchety old dead guy, but when he said 'if you're going through Hell, keep going', he was drat well right. Chin up. Keep going!
