Ali’s actually being super patient with me, which is good but also makes me feel even worse because it’s clearly my coping mechanisms failing, not anyone else.

Sorry to hear this Wolt. Take it easy on yourself brother. Don't feel worse just accept Ali's patience and help as it's a good thing. All the best to you all.Wolter wrote: ↑06 Jul 2021, 7:53pmAli’s actually being super patient with me, which is good but also makes me feel even worse because it’s clearly my coping mechanisms failing, not anyone else.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
You're not asking for advice and I'm not so clever that this wouldn't have occurred to you, but I find that forgiving yourself for this bout of humanity will help you gain your strength all the quicker.
Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
Don't be too hard on yourself, I'm sure there's nobody in this world who hasn't had something similar happen and been filled with regret once things calmed down. Just admitting you made a mistake and making amends to those you may have hurt or harmed is the first step towards being the best Wolt you can possible be.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I'm sorry to hear. I hope today is going better. Let us know if we can help. We can make fun of Heston for you.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I'm sorry, Wolt. You're a good egg and I know your family knows this. Your meltdown doesn't define you and try not to be too hard on yourself.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Thanks everyone. I’m much better after a little sleep.

Yes great idea. Wait...what?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
Pretty bad anxiety at times, often manifests as health anxiety. Sometimes feels unrelenting, like I'll get through one episode and then immediately spiral off into another one. I have done a decade plus of therapy and it helps, but not completely. I still feel like I lose too much time to worrying about things.
Obsessive/stuck thoughts that tie into my anxiety, though sometimes they're just obsessive thoughts: I'll repeat stories or thoughts/words to myself in my head over and over again. I probably have some form of OCD.
General gloominess. I won't call it depression, but it also follows my anxiety: if I'm worried about something it colors how I see everything else. It's hard to think about tomorrow or next week or next year when I'm worried about the worst case right now. I have a hard time enjoying things I love, like listening to music.
It actually all ties together like this: something will trigger a thought. I'll worry about that thought. It will start to circle around in my head until I start to obsess about it. It becomes stuck and then it starts to impact my life: poor sleep, poor appetite, lack of engagement, moodiness, gloominess, and so on.
My partner, who has a degree in human trauma, thinks I'm suffering from PTSD around that fact that my ex-wife and I lost our first child at birth. I think she might be right. I have done therapy around it and we went on to have 2 awesome, healthy kids, but I'm starting to connect some additional dots around where I am right now and what has happened to me in my past.

Re: Open up "what's wrong with you?"
I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how that must feel. I can relate to pretty much everything but the specifics of the last paragraph. The intrusive thoughts, man, those fuckers. And the health anxiety...the bane of my existence. You're not alone, although it always feels that way, I'm sure.WestwayKid wrote: ↑07 Jul 2021, 11:41amPretty bad anxiety at times, often manifests as health anxiety.
