"Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

[Westham67]

MODS you should give the this crossed hammer character a yellow card ban. That's twice they have come onto this thread trolling one of the contributors to it. Vexed voices his opinion that's a different matter

[Pentonville]

Anyone heard from hallerinthemorning? Was prolific on here for a while but been a bit quiet of late.

[Westham67]

It is that place joe. They just changed the contract where night shift get 20% on hourly rate after 1Opm I was doing a safety qualification called NEBOSH last year but I should have read the reviews of the training school cheap an nasty and kept moving the exam date back 3 months at a time I have enquired with a proper training school and I will do one for safety and one for environment The Mrs noticed the change in me since the meds started

WH67 This the same breaks that deliver to restaurants and schools? Think twice about working there. Very few people have a good word to say about the place.

[Westham67]

Same as block I could not take other one due the medication I take for heart. I had 2 stents fitted when I was working in Vietnam as long as I take my meds there is no change in life expectancy . I had and echocardiogram in the UAE and my heart was 100% working properly

"I'm on 100mg Setraline, 67 son, have been for a few years. Only tablets I didn't have a reaction to."

[Westham67]

I started training Sunday night fingers crossed. Sertraline 50 mg has helped

"I am sorry to hear that Irish and don't lie down mate be strong on those illnesses My wife is my rock and I have seen her or my kids for over 2 and a half years. I was always trying to graft to provide for my family like we all do . The original plan was to settle down with me and her in 2019 .There was a 5 spending period for Network Rail starting in April 19 but because of the uncertainly of Brexit and then Covid 19 it did not happen . Now both my kids are getting their British passports and them an my wife will come here. Not paying their school and Uni has taken the pressure to push for big money. I got something for Brakes which is US food provider driving a fork lift for 27 K year plus O/T + night bonus in Stongebrige park I live in N17 but moving closer when the Mrs and kids come here, My wife and daughter first then my son. We will stay here for good Funny enough I was speaking to a bloke in Abu Dhabi a Brit I have known for 10 years or more and he is the commercial director for the same company I worked for . We were talking about fucked up the railway industry is now, He said l am going home in 2 years and all I want to do is drive a fork lift truck"

[Irish Hammer]

Thanks lads.

"Irish I'm genuinely saddened to hear that, best wishes to you and your wonderful wife mate"

"Fucking hell mate, the brain cancer is treatable, right?"

[Irish Hammer]

"I have a AstroCytoma brain tumour, brain cancer and all that’s comes with. Severe epilepsy etc. It’s ok though. I’m not lying down."

[Block]

"Oh shit, how did that come about?"

[Irish Hammer]

Not able to. Cognitive deficit means I can’t do the numbers anymore.

[Block]

"Good to hear you're doing well, Irish. Still play any poker?"

[Irish Hammer]

"I’m very lucky in that I have very strong self awareness. I know when I’m in the shit and can try to be gentle to myself and work through it rather than raging against it. Excerise (the gym/a short run/spin bike) is my happy place, I empty my tank without aggression and feel so much better after it. We don’t cure it, we just learn to manage it. Through whatever way works for us. Im on a lot of different medications and have nasty side effects from them which don’t help, but my wife is a rock and I’m blessed to have her. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other lads. That’s all we need to do."

"Mike, no sniggering from my end at all mate, every person has their own coping mechanism, the wife is very much like you mate if she gets aggy or in a down mood she potters about cleaning. Everyone has their own way of coping, no way is the wrong way, if it helps you. Meditation is quite hard, believe it or not. I usually do it as I've gone to bed, usually my mind goes nuts of an evening, so doing it then usually relaxes me before getting an hours kip before the kid decides to wake up chatting to himself."

"Block 11:19 Tue Jul 27 Interesting about meditation - I found out that doing mundane domestic tasks brought peace - and got stuff done at the same time. A few hours ""woman's work"" - laundry, cleaning, cooking, that sort of thing seemed to both drag my mind away from any problems I may have thought I had (nothing like many on here have reported though) and offer the mundane repetitiveness of meditation. The kids have long grown and are leading their own lives, but I still like to ""dumb down"" my thinking with this stuff every now and again. Gardening/growing stuff is another great relaxer - even if it's only a window-box/few pot plants (don't snigger)."
