"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"

"I've not been on here for a while and it is extremely heartening to see this thread shining like a beacon above the petty hatred that seems to drive WHO, in the main. Remember when you loved looking at this site because it was as funny as fuck? It seems a long time ago doesn't it? I think most of us have been moved mentally in one way or another due to Covid, lockdown, the cynical pickpocketing of our wealth by a corrupt government and all the 'normal' pain and hardship that flesh is heir to. I just wanted to say hello and wish you all peace. After all we've been pals of a sort for fifteen years or more. The best of luck to you all x"

Cheers 67 the prognosis of Ascities is not good but take each day as it comes now. That's great what you're doing getting fit and helping people as a volunteer forget the cnut that's up his own arse helping the homeless is far more important than that shit. Good luck with the Oxfam shop.

one iron 9:30 Wed Jan 25 Ask him to join us on WHO CBT this morning . We are working on my sleep and daily structure . I have an off peak gym membership for a gym a 2 minute walk away so I will do a 5am and 3 times a week and go from there. I worked as a volunteer in the kitchen giving free food to the homeless on Sunday I really enjoyed it but the volunteer manager was proper up his own arse and just working with the homeless for his own hero status he had no compassion for them whatsoever . I am waiting for a reference to come through to do some voluntary work in the OXFAM shop in Canterbury Ted you did the hard part by going on the wagon many drink themselves to death

[ted fenton]

ted fenton 11:44 Wed Jan 25 I can recall days that the Black Lion where we used to put 3 litres into it! Those days are of course gone and you find other ways to enjoy and appreciate life so keep going forwards and get physically well to match your positive outlook.

[zico]

Good news Ted.

[happygilmore]

That sounds positive Ted. Good to hear. Keep following the medics advice.

[ted fenton]

"Best wishes to all, good to see some positives Chin up to all"

[Pentonville]

Great news Zico. Westham67 also good but to me the word unravel is such a negative. Open up is a better phrase right mate? The stadium will unravel today should we go 1 nil down...

[ted fenton]

zico 11:41 Sat Jan 21 Yes it does make you think Zico most of us are guilty of that. Will you well mate.

[ted fenton]

Good to hear 67 hope your score continues to come down My bleed has left me with fluid in the stomach (Ascites) but I'm having it drained on Monday I feel fecking pregnant

"Thanks Westham. I should just be grateful that this time at least it was the other way around. The dermatologist did sort of apologise for the worry that the text I received from my photos suggested it was basal cell carcinoma but I am sure many have seen her with something GP's have suggested was nothing and it turned out to be something. Sadly happens all the time. She did say if it has been that BSC is generally small, grows slowly and in a majority of cases won't spread and they can get rid of it. She did say something interesting though that does make you think. I said I was surprised because I always wear a hat if working outside or on the golf course., She said ""ah, but you wouldn't have done 30 years ago!"". Makes you think."

"Zico that happened to brother he was told by his GP after he had a blood test that he internal bleeding , my dad died of bowel cancer , so obviously that shook him up and 6 months later he did not have internal bleeding according to his GP Due a few factors like having an official address and having sickness benefit and UC which means I do not have to borrow money from my family to get by my depression score has gone from 23 severe to 13 slight, The CBT is helping to unravel me"
