i was pretty sick this week. it was that nasty bug that got a lot worse. my wife wanted me to go to the doctors but think i'm pretty much ok.

my son had a feeling something was off. well i fell out of bed. i couldn't get up and my wife couldn't lift me. so with no other choice we called an ambulance, and no i didn;t go to the hospital. my son wants me to go because some of the symptoms are like the ones around 6 years ago when i almost died. the reason i couldn't get up was because my foot and leg swelled because of diabetes

mike
I hope you feel better and everything goes well Mike. Hugs to you *brohug

My friend from work invited me to a jazz brunch on Sunday and now I discovered shes also celebrating her sister's birthday and there will be like 6 other people that I don't know, so I feel nervous. Im thinking of cancelling but I kinda want to go.
You didn’t ask for feedback so please forgive me if I’m out of line. I would say go for it because you have been looking forward to it, and it will get you out of the house, which is potentially healing with regard to social anxiety. Also you can leave early if you’re feeling uncomfortable with the new people (which affects me, too).

I have learned from my regrets that it’s true what they say about regrets being more about what we didn’t do, than about what we did do that didn’t go well. I still isolate from time to time, so I know this is easier to say than to do.

I’m feeling bad physically and it’s starting to wear in me. I feel like I need a nap all day every day for a while now. I’m being more careful with my sleep routine and I should be getting enough. I have done a sleep study and it’s not great, but I don’t have sleep apnea. Yet I do have a constricted windpipe. That’s probably due to my chronic hay fever and my poor diet creating inflammation.

Hoping you continue on the mend. You are fully missed on here! However, you need to worry about you so you can get better. i know i am not saying anything you don't already know. Hugs!

Mike, you were certainly missed. Am glad you are feeling better. But please don't hesitate to go to your doctor. Sometimes they are necessary.
i had a good reason to not call my doctor. i'm 99% sure my doctor would admit me in the hospital lol. i'm not quite myself yet but doing a lot better. i even went out yesterday and took my wife to the flea market, salvation army , and dollar store next state over yesteray so definately better. how have you been doing my friend. i hope things don't get too bad before you get to go home. i as you look forward to going home but i think we can both wait until we are invited. you are a very strong and intelligent person as well as a good friend

I'm also lonely. Tried going to this Alpha Course at the church last night (have not socialised in years) but it was all OAP's I didn't mind that so much but it's just awkward when everyone has families, children and grandchildren and I don't have any of that and am not even working because of mental health. People accept you until they find out you're nuts then they just reject you and your reputation is ruined so I'm not going to go back for the second session of the course spend most days completely alone 🙁 x
i'm sorry that happened, anyone that runs because you have a mental health issue is not a friend. is it possible to seek other groups that you can show interest for? well i hope you have a happy sunday

Mike, please take care of yourself. We all care so much about you here. I hope you're feeling better and the swelling has gone down. *console
i am trying lol. i am feeling a lot better, not perfect but getting there. this is the first time a leg has swollen, my feet and ankles swell sometimes but oh well another day lol. it took 3 days before i could walk normal, or normal for me lol. one thing that helped is this apartment is wheelchair accesible. so it was wide enough to use my walker on the next day.

I feel good this morning. Felt well yesterday. Felt like shit the day before.

It is so tiresome to have days, out of nowhere, where I feel awful and then bounce right back. It has to be some sort of chemical imbalance (or there is something going on mentally I am not aware of).
i hope you have a lot more good days ahead

I really appreciate your response and saying that I could go when I want to. That will relieve some of the pressure. Plus I'm only going to have 2 drinks so I don't make a fool of myself. Even though, trust me, I have been known to drink.
