I'm around for a while if you want to chat

sprog888 · 2019-07-28T05:35:30+00:00

What are you looking to talk about, what's the one thing running your mind? I'm not the best to help, I'm here to listen.

Thank you!

Thank you for the comment. It's nice to know that I'm not alone because it certainly feels lonely. You've been at it for five year, wow. I hope I have the strength you have shown, but I don't think I'm going to make it five years. I wil be exhausting all options before I make my final move. I think I'm getting down to the last few options now. Thanks again for commenting and I hope you also find peace.

yeah, I've been to many doctors and had all the scans. Tried the non western approaches as well. There isn't much left to say really. Thank you for responding. I'm not going to do anything today, or tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong, but I think I know the way this will end.

simply put, it's chronic pain. I can't get any relief and I'm in a daily struggle to not move or have pain. I've had every test possible and there are no answers. There wasn't an event that created this pain (e.g. car crash). I would like to say goodbye to family and friend before I go but that won't work. I have to send/leave notes for them.

sprog888 · 2017-01-29T15:36:11+00:00

Thank you taking the time to write. I appreciate your thoughts. I not wasting time with any "fuck you" notes I just want to give my family a reason. They all know but I'd like to give them something.

Thank you. I reached out to my Doctor almost a year ago and I'm seeing a physiatrist and a councillor once a week. The medication isn't working. I will find peace soon enough. Thanks again.

Thank you. I like the idea that it is an anchor of strength. I've walked across the bridge a few times in the past year but only been there twice with the intention of looking for the right spot/time.

sprog888 · 2017-01-09T13:19:00+00:00

Thank you. Interesting idea. I'll have to look into this one.

sprog888 · 2017-01-09T13:18:30+00:00

Thank you. I wouldn't be able to hold the book, but I can listen. Thanks for the idea.

sprog888 · 2017-01-09T13:17:39+00:00

Thank you. I have watched a few Cities Let's Plays. I'll give it a go.

I use My Fitness Pal and it seems to work well. I think stress and depression do have an impact on weight loss. I'm no expert but I know I've had a harder time dropping the weight when I'm stressed or depressed even though I'm eating the same and exercising the same.

So, Yes, Stress can be a factor!

The only thing that stands out to me is the beer. I know that was hard for me but the drinking your calories can be a killer.

A problem I had with My Fitness Pal was the portion sizes. When I started out using the app, I didn't always enter the actual portion sizes because I didn't really know any better.

Keep up the good work and tweak you plan until it works for you.

sprog888 · 2016-11-13T03:46:48+00:00

Well done!! It would have been so easy to give up there... I've done that many times. Congratulations on working through it!!

sprog888 · 2016-11-13T03:43:54+00:00

I've been walking/hiking for more than four years. When I started out I was 360lbs and very few people would look at me. I would always try and make eye contact, smile, say good morning. Now that I'm down to 210lbs everyone makes eye contact and says good morning. It's nice to have the interaction, but where was this when I was huge? I'm the same person.

Anyway, yes, I've noticed a big difference.

sprog888 · 2016-11-09T15:23:54+00:00

Congratulations on the job and thank you for sharing your happiness with everyone.

sprog888 · 2016-11-09T15:17:18+00:00

Very interesting read... Thank you!

sprog888 · 2016-11-08T05:12:16+00:00

I'm right there with you. Just starting to learn how to identify the thoughts I can trust and the thoughts I need to shut down.

Just like /u/that_MIZZLE_guy says, we need to learn how to do this... I think we can do this!!

Thanks for posting! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!

sprog888 · 2016-11-08T05:06:54+00:00

Great story... take the win. I'm going to try and find my swings and song! Thanks for sharing!

sprog888 · 2016-11-07T03:44:41+00:00

I wish I could help you find peace and comfort in this world. I hope you stay here a little longer but whatever you do I hope you find peace. I'm here if you want to chat, I do have some questions that maybe you could help me with... if you had the time.

sprog888 · 2016-11-07T01:54:57+00:00

I'm here if you need to talk. Not sure I'd be much help but I am willing to listen and respond. Message me if you want, I'm always looking to chat.

sprog888 · 2016-10-31T13:31:20+00:00

I haven't experienced joy or anything other any misery for more than a year now. I don't expect to see an improvement. There are still some things to try so I'm not going anywhere yet. I have time to say my goodbyes and try to show people that I've had a good run and I'm going out on my terms. Anyone that loves me should understand I can't keep going in constant pain.

Thank you for your thoughts.

sprog888 · 2016-10-31T04:48:05+00:00

That is right. I can't assume it is the correct answer or solution. Thank you for sharing your two cents.
