Does anyone have mental health problems?

[Swimboy64]

Good luck for the op bud
The GA will take you miles from anxiety so enjoy the freedom.I always feel a bit spaced out for 12-24hrs after a general
All the best

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Thanks for all you kindness.

I did sleep a bit. Probably 4--5 hours. Which is better than none at all. I'm up an hour earlier and have told myself to go to the hospital. The fact that it's being done earlier rather than later than my last visit (under local) helps. The strange thing is there is part of that wants this done under general so it doesn't return this time.

The infection itself is really angry today. So that helps the motivation to just do it. Thanks again

I'm hungry and a bit tired. But not as bad as the previous occasion where I had no sleep for 24 hours. I tell myself I didn't used to sleep before long away games when I was young, and was fine. So just think of it as an old away match. Without the alcohol.

Good luck.

I had four ops in a year all on my shoulder. I had it done private as I had insurance.

Had the same anaesthetist who happened to be a Palace ST holder. He didn't kill me haha

@Eeyore all the best for you mate. I’ve had 2 GAs and they’re fine. You just wake up with a Dr or nurse looking after you.

Is your plumbing drama sorted out now @Eeyore ?

That was sorted yesterday. New drama today. Adds to the fun of existence

Good luck!

Could you delete the post too? Might cause unnecessary distress when the OP returns

He’s posted right before you.

Generally, when someone’s been an idiot, we’ll leave the post so people can see the idiocy and understand why action has been taken taken. Stuff that gets removed is generally libellous or otherwise likely to get NSC in trouble.

Anyway, back to mental health support.

It's very fashionable, isn't it?

Trolling ? Probably. Although I think most folk have grown up after all these years and have generally stopped doing it. But a Trolling Support Group would be a good idea for those struggling.

It'll be fine @Eeyore, what time's your op? Can you ask a nurse to note down what things you say when you wake up & get her to post it for you? Hopefully your back won't be too sore after, take it easy. x

You may, or may not, get your wish. I was offered a general or a local. I chose a local as it means I can drive home and don't have to be foggy for 24 hours. But, but, I will be yelping like a yelpy person as local doesn't work fully on an infection. That happened last time. It may also be that they have to abort as things don't work out. In which case I'll be in for a general. All good fun. Well not good fun. But kind of okay. I'm relieved whatever they do really as the blood tests have shown that it could have turned serious.

I've had one GA, but I remember the tuna sandwich and milky tea they gave afterwards tasted like the elixir of the Gods.

Your a dick…

how’s it fashionable.

I received a message from a friend today that has shaken me, who now lives in France.
His wife recently died from cancer.
He is telling me he can’t go on, on his own, he has morphine stored up.
everyday is a struggle to be here without her for him.
he doesn’t read, listen to music, or eat, he is suffering mentally

is that fashionable?

Honestly as someone that takes medication for depression and anxiety, GA is the best! Being knocked out without a worry in the world, make the most of it. I've had 3 ops under GA in the last 3 years, wonderful stuff, you wake talking complete bollocks too, at least I do. Good luck...

Sorry to add you won't remember a thing, honestly nothing to worry about, you'll sleep a good deal after too.

Me too, I still cringe at the absolute rubbish I spouted when I came around after a GA. I was euphoric for some reason. Albion were playing that night and I was insisting that I’d be fine to go to the game. My hazy memory seems to recall that one of the recovery people’s son was going to be a mascot.

My countdown got to 3 I think

Do not worry about the GA @Eeyore

Good luck, just think about cricket

Edit - just seen you have gone for a local

 

[lawros left foot]

I’ve had 5 GAs now, totalling over a day unconscious.

Worst one was the shortest, woke up crying because I was bleeding on the nurse’s pillow.

Best one, I could honestly see elephants, giraffes, and hippos in the recovery ward.

Somewhat resonates with what I just posted on another thread about persistent trolling.

Well, I'm glad I opened up last night as, firstly NSC showed how kind it was even for the things that would be at the lower end of the mental health scale, and secondly that @goldstone replied just to show us how important this issue is to him and how not everyone in society is understanding.

As for my little episode, I ended up a little surprised. The procedure itself took about 20 minutes as opposed to the hour it took last time. I saw three people throughout the process, one from the far east, another, I think, from Africa, and an Iraqi surgeon. Makes you wonder where we would be without these splendid folk.

As expected, the process was very painful at times with me re-assuring the surgeon that it was okay and to ignore my yelps. It was worth it. Back for dressing every day for the next two weeks I should imagine.

My anxiety was triggered over the possibility of a general anaesthetic, not the pain of the procedure itself, which is at the lower end of routine. It's about a loss of control. For the last 17 years it's been an issue, since my Mum died. My world has narrowed. I only travel anywhere alone and never make long fixed arrangements. Again, fear of not being in control. Ironically, my ex has often said how easy going, tolerant and uncontrolling I was, but this doesn't extend to people. But it's the reason I don't attend football matches anymore.

So threads like this are helpful. 99% of my anxiety issues I never talk about because it is a consistent theme. But just now and then, the chance to reach out, is really calming. Today was okay. Not least because I am reading a really good book about facing anxiety and forcing change by a respected clinical psychologist. I know it's important because it is obvious that one day something big will go wrong, it happens to all of us. Someone alluded to such things when giving Goldstone a dressing down above. It's important to me, and to be the best version of me for others. So I won't beat myself up over asking about something trivial which is a small component of a bigger problem. And thanks to all for being so kind.

EDIT: Then my brain says to me 'Why did you feel the need to go back on and justify yourself ?' I reply 'Because Goldstone wrote shit about the issue'. So there you go. Hurty words matter.

@goldstone just confirming what I have thought about him for the last 15 years or so.

He’s a prick.

It would probably have been longer, but, I’ve only been on here 14 ish years.

Booooo, I was hoping for tales of unicorns and talking trees.
Seriously though, I'm glad you're ok. It's good that you can identify what the trigger is, not everyone can do that. Don't forget about the exchange, there are pretty much always tickets if you wake up on the morn & think 'sod it, I want to go'.
There's pretty much always a tw*t that pitches up on this thread & similar ones, you don't need to justify anything to anyone. For starters it invalidates the point of the thread. What's the book you're reading? It might help someone else who doesn't know where to start.
