I feel dizzy and disoriented. It's not my blood pressure, although it was high earlier today.

This physical weirdness just won't stop and has me frustrated and discouraged.
I can feel for those types of things. My boss has been having whatever the issues have been for a couple of weeks and is still out of things. I hope that you, she and others will be able to find help and relief.

Thanks for the support folks. I really appreciate that.

I'm having suicidal ideation now in addition to everything else. I got in to see my therapist today and will see psychiatrist tomorrow.

Things kinda suck right now.
So sorry things suck. Have you scene the heart doc recently? Could this be A-fib? Get better soon. And keep us posted.

I feel so lonely. No one understands how I feel. I’m in so much pain but I don’t think that anyone even sees it. I’m just locked in a prison with awful thoughts and awful feelings but nothing can be done for me. I just have to be stoic and continue doing my best but I’m so burnt out and tired of my life. If I opened up about my feelings to those I know in real life, they wouldn’t understand at all. It hurts so much knowing that I’m completely alone in this world.
you aren't completely alone, you have us and we care. maybe you can try to find someone close to you and open up a little at a time. if that person doesn't understand try someone else you trust

Hi, tysm for the response :)

I’m not sure what to do. I can’t escape the awful feelings, almost all of it is tied to my appearance and every reminder of what I look like hurts me so much that I can barely function. I think I’ve run the gamut with psychiatry and therapy and I don’t think that anything can help me :(

I’m feeling relatively good today. I’m going to move tomorrow from a very unpleasant roommate arrangement into my own place, in a location that I prefer. Tonight is the last night I will have to sleep in this place. I don’t know if I will sleep, though. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve; I am looking forward to it that much!
i hope you enjoy your new place and privacy.

dealing with one of those long severe pain spikes right now. i want to live but i also want to end the constant pain. my wife and others say i show courage fighting like this but that isn't true, i just have to live with it to live.

between pain, copd, diabetes and everything else i'm getting tired and tired of living. we haven't even taken jasmine " 1964 dodge " out even once this year. it's like by moving to a retirement community we are just waiting until our time comes, could this be gods waiting room ?

why do i even bother to fight anymore

I am so sorry things are so rough right now. I know it is bad when you don't take Jasmine out. I understand wondering why to continue the fight. But you have your wife to think about. You don't want to leave her side. And you have the kids. I hope that is enough to keep you fighting. Damn the CDC and their ruthless denial of pain meds!

As I have said I am on a business trip to Texas-I live in the northeast of the USA- and I am enjoying the scenery. Much different than where I live. but my hip and left leg are achy for some reason. I haven’t walked that far nor sat funny I sat about 7 hours today at work. Not sure what I am going to do with my one day off to sightsee.
I am working on getting the company future work and they’re planning to have me work on the project when it comes in. I’m feeling guilty because I don’t plan to be around the company in a year. I haven’t told them yet. They would not have sent me on this trip if they knew that. But I don’t know when it would be appropriate to tell them about my impending retirement. But they didn’t worry about letting me go in October of last year. So I make pretty noises about the future and then keep quiet about my plans.
sorry about being so wordy.

I support you in keeping your decision to yourself as long as possible. You don’t owe them anything! Us lowly employees are replaceable parts to them, so we owe them no better treatment in return. Business is business. Nothing personal in either direction. It’s really a game. Would you show your cards to your opponent in poker? The same applies between management and employees.

I’m in Fort Worth/Dallas area. I’m leaving Friday so not this trip at any point. But I appreciate your offer. I would like to meet up. I have been thinking of having another meetup in New York City like we did many years ago. It was fun but except for @Lane i think all the others have moved on.
