I remember those. Got called out by an admin in the Austin one.

Bizarre

Go to a psychiatrist. A real doctor, not a therapist.

They have spoken to people who feel exactly like you do. They have heard it before. It's extremely freeing when you hear the psychiatrist tell you why you're feeling the way you do and he explains to you the reasoning behind it. Then he can talk to you about how to help.

As others have said, if you've already seen one and didn't get anything out of it, try another. It won't hurt to go see a different one just to see if it can get better.


Also, if you feel like nobody will want to be with you and you have nobody, join a volunteer group. Make yourself important in someone else's life, whether it's helping kids in a hospital, the Boys and Girls club, a court advocate for kids, nursing home volunteer, etc. Give your life meaning by helping other people. You'll wake up knowing you are needed and you are going to help others.

frick man you’re still young

You can get through all those conditions by changing your lifestyle.

Yeah it’s a little lonely at times for all of us (I’ve been there and felt that way as a single dad) but that doesn’t mean we stop fighting man. You can’t let this overwhelm you.

You need to find fulfillment with your life. Once you do, the down days will be easier for you to recover from

Man just go to phillipines and scoop u up a lady from there but make sure you get a good one. That will put some wind in your sails ole sport! That was my plan until I found my missus

Out of all my conditions you think GERD gives me away as some sort of alter? You do realize millions of people suffer from GERD/Gastritis/Gastrointestinal illnesses right?

---

It's not just the GERD. Those may as well all be the exact same posts with minor edits. What a weird schtick

That's just the tip of the iceberg actually. It's been going on for years.

Everyone else around me gets to be normal while I'm always a few seconds away from another cough and/or clearing my throat. Heck I just did it in between posts now.

I've had a chronic productive cough for 5 years now. I'm 32 and need a double lung transplant. There is still hope brother! Maybe some therapy would help?

From one broken man to another. My heart breaks for you. My situation is completely different, new, and entirely self inflicted but i am with you in thinking all of things you are thinking about the prospects of a happy life being a thing of the past. From an earthly perspective i would encourage you to continue to seek different medical counsel until you find one that you feel cares. The only other thing you can do is hit your knees. It sounds cliche but when nothing on earth is working what other option do we have? If you want my contact info let me know. Im not good at deep advice but sometimes having someone to listen is helpful, even if it's just a way to pass a few minutes in a day where you don't know how you are going to make it through. God and i will be spending a lot of time together in the coming days, weeks, and months. I will use some of that time to pray for you. Best of luck brother
