Tegis Posted February 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't know what to say really @Jimzk5. Just defeat that crappy thing and lets enjoy life when it returns to normal. Best of luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't think there's a day that goes by where I don't contemplate suicide. I never do it because my siblings would struggle badly financially and emotionally but the thought is always there that there's a quick exit if I ever need it. It's strangely reassuring yet sad at the same time. Then I find out about @Jimzk5 and the tumour and it breaks my heart even more knowing that there are people who want to be here but may not have a choice . It just makes me feel guilty and even more depressed. If I could swap places with Jim I would do it in a heartbeat . Stay strong fella. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually less stressful having lost everything and stepping off the treadmill. A few years on Dagobah was probably what I needed to be honest.

There are clearly far more people worse off than me and the military mindset still kicks in like a tic when things get tough . I'm pretty smart and the sense of humour never goes no matter how bleak things get . I have had some amazing experiences in my life and have seen a lot of the world. Billions of people would give their right arm to have done some of the things I have done so if it all ended tomorrow I can consider myself lucky. I'll be around a while yet though as I want to see how Trevor Lawrence does. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimzk5 Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thank you all for your messages of support. It's taken me a 2 months to come to terms with it, from denial to acceptance In short 6 months ago I went for an mri scan to look for a cause of my essential tremor, a week after I recieved another mri request under dye contrast when they inject you with a dye to show up changes, so I knew they had found something then, but I didnt hear anything until December when they sent me for another mri scan, after that my neurologist that sent me for the scans phoned me and said they found something, and the time between scans was to check for changes and didnt want to worry me by telling me 3 months ago hey weve found something, but were not seeing you for another 3 months So my last scan was December and appointment with neurologist confirmed it, luckily the changes between scans showed it was small and slow growing, due to the location I hadnt had any symptoms (head aches, vision issues) so I'm extremely lucky to have an essential tremor, if I didnt have that they wouldn't have been a need for an MRI scan in the first place My prognosis is good as its been found early. I'm very lucky It's just been an incredibly draining time, last January I was in intensive care with pneumonia and could have died, I lost my job, tried to commit suicide not long after, led to the end of my marriage and then to hear this, was just ****, so depressing. I've held it together the last few months but finally feal ready to tell people outside my immediate family, and VT is part of my family. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
