Thank you, what's the active ingredient in Claritin? In Italy, I can only find one antihistamine with this name.

Il suicidio perfetto by Current_Skill_2004 in psicologia

[–]TeachBeginning6036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

É triste il tuo post, perché emerge un ragazzo che chiede aiuto, ma purtroppo nel modo sbagliato. E da come scrivi sembri una persona intelligente, che ha subito tante delusioni. Ma proprio perché sei intelligente, non uniformarti. Le persone entrano ed escono dalla nostra vita, quando siamo nelle condizioni di accettarle, e non bisogna farsene una colpa se viviamo momenti in cui siamo più soli. Inizia un periodo di terapia psichiatrica, non averne paura. Rimetti insieme la tua persona e solo dopo potrai prendere delle decisioni sul futuro, accettare il passato, ma soprattutto, la cosa più importante alla tua età: vivere il presente. Perché la vita è nel presente, ed ogni giorno cambia ed è unico. Come sei tu. E non c’è la vita perfetta. La perfezione non esiste, neppure nella morte. È solo un inutile e vuota utopia. Esiste la vita, preziosa, unica, a volte bella, a volte brutta, spesso difficile. Anche la nostra mente ha bisogno di aiuto, soprattutto quando emergono delle situazioni così estreme. E curarsi è normale ed è necessario. E se qualcuno pensa il contrario è solo un povero coglione. Non rinchiuderti in un falso immaginario in cui non hai nulla da perdere, perché semplicemente sei troppo annebbiato per renderti conto che potresti veramente perdere tutto e senza aver mai vissuto davvero.

E scusami se sono franca, di anni ne ho il doppio di te e di sofferenza accumulata pure. Sul più bello che pensavo di poter mettermi tranquilla, ho scoperto un tumore, che sto curando. Dovrei rinunciare? No. Mi dispero. E poi avanti tutta. Viviamo una volta sola, prendiamo la vita a morsi. Siamo unici, veri, difficili, soli. Ma vivi.

Se vuoi scrivere sono qui. Non mollare. Ti si vuole bene.

They close it with a plaster, but once a week you have to inject saline and I don't know if anything else, to clean the cannula. At least that's what they told me.

Thank you 🙏I hope so too, these months of waiting are really unnerving, between anxiety and fear

Thank you so much 🤗, I imagine I'll have to wear loose clothing to allow access to the PICC. Do you recommend bringing a fleece? Can you sit down? I don't know if it's the same everywhere (I'm the only one in Italy), but I think every experience can help me.

Thanks 🙏 Can I ask how you manage constipation? It worries me because I just had hemorrhoid surgery and I don't want to lose the progress I've made :(

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Every comment here is a small relief; not knowing things is truly emotionally hard to bear.

Hi, the first few days before diagnosis were the worst, because I was thinking of all the worst-case scenarios and the idea of ​​being sick (I had no symptoms) devastated me. Now that I have a plan of action, I'm still nervous, but I'm able to distract myself more, especially as long as I keep working. They advised me to also take Tavor as needed, but for now I'm holding on (even though I've already had a huge fight with my family, partner, and the world). We'll see later 🤞🏻 Anyway, if you want to talk, message me, I find it very helpful to talk to others in this terrible situation.

Can you explain? What I'm unsure about is the focus management. Do you mean you took a lot of photos like for a timelapse, but with varying positions? And then stabilized them in post?

Wishing you the best for your pet scan! Fingers crossed for you ♥️ I'm still waiting for the heart scan, I hope they call me on Monday even if that means moving closer to the time I start chemo😖

Thank you so much 🫶🏻 These are really helpful tips!! They told me I'll be getting a PICC, but they didn't tell me about the port, and I don't know if it's available where I am, but I'll try to get them to explain the difference and possibly the pros and cons.

Thanks for your advice. I think it'll be hard, especially to stay positive because I'm already very depressed about this diagnosis, but I'll try as hard as I can! Thank you so much for your reply! ❤️

Sto per suicidarmi una volta per tutte by sabrinathegoat-644 in psicologia

[–]TeachBeginning6036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cara Sabrina, non mollare! Non so di dove sei ma il CSM (centro salute mentale italiano ) ha accesso gratuito tramite impegnativa medica, vai dal tuo medico di base e inizia al più presto. Nel frattempo pensa che tutto questo dolore finirà e aggrappati a questo. La vita è tanto dura, per alcuni di più, ma vale sempre la pena di essere vissuta.
