    Wow, marodi, I am so sorry. That is so incredibly sad. So young to be gone. I can't imagine what you must be going through. That's heartbreaking. And I'm so sorry that you were the one to discover him. That's hard. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    I don’t think I’ve ever posted in this thread before, but I feel like a rant...
    How fucked my whole 2019 has been so far:

    March - my only sister died. My sweet, autistic, only sister. Fell and broke her ankle in January, and because doctors couldn’t get her to properly rehab it, they loaded her up on too many meds. She lived in a state funded group home, and just passed away in her sleep there. Autopsy was inconclusive, but I feel sure that the ridiculous amount of meds they were giving her to keep her sedate was the cause. I didn’t get to tell her goodbye, and I have tremendous guilt over it.

    June - my 10 year old son had a freak accident at the pool where he hit his head. I rushed him to the ER to find he had bleeding on his brain and needed emergency neurosurgery. 3 days in the ICU. He’s doing really well now, but I’m not really the same parent or person after going through that. Many sleepless nights, many grey hairs, many added anxieties...

    Today - another fucking dipshit with a gun decides to shoot up people they hate based on the color of their skin, and it’s in my hometown, my backyard - El Paso. I’ve lived here off and on for over 20 years now, and I’ve never seen anything like this here. It just doesn’t happen here... I’m trying to wrap my head around all of it still, but I have felt absolutely sick about it all day.

    I fucking hate this year.

    Jesus... @marodi , I'm so sorry to hear that.

    I almost feel ridiculous in this context bitching about my day, but it has been horrible in its own way. I got food poisoning yesterday, got practically no sleep because I was up all night puking into the morning... at which point, I needed to drive down to do sound for a stage about an hour and a half away, in 95 degree heat, in a car without working AC. Then, I'm mixing the sound outdoors in the sun, I am now burnt and exhausted, drained, depressed...

    I'm finally lying down and starting to feel like I'm not losing my mind or fighting the urge to puke.

    woke up sunday with a sore throat, an upset stomach, and a fuckload of depression. cried about 8 times throughout the day for no real reason. and then i slipped in the shower just before bed, bruised my tailbone and smacked the back of my head.

    my wife worked from home yesterday to take care of me. i literally laid on the couch all day because moving was so painful.

    today i'm at home by myself. my mom just stopped by to check on me but i don't know how helpful it was.

    i don't have any PTO right now and i've now taken two days off in a row. i'm worried that i might have to take a third day off tomorrow because i'm still having so much trouble moving, and my job is very physically demanding. part of why i've been so upset is because of frustration at work, but my co-worker (recently) turned project manager was out of town on a job last week and is out of town on training this week so i can't talk to him about what's going on. our further-up boss isn't the right person to talk to about it/do anything about it so i don't know what to do.

    my depression is in full swing and my therapist (who i haven't seen in a while because we had both decided i was doing well enough to take a break) hasn't responded to the e-mail i sent them yesterday. and honestly i only sent the e-mail because my wife asked me to. it felt like an insurmountable task to me.

    tried to go back to work last wednesday, fucked up my back trying to lift my toolbag. went to immediate care where they x-rayed my whole spine, told me i didn't break anything but probably have "full body whiplash" and a concussion. got a note excusing me from work for thursday and friday, which i spent at home feeling miserable from both pain and depression (not to mention that i was still dealing with an upper respiratory issue, which still hasn't cleared up).

    over the weekend i started feeling scared and i couldn't figure out why. i managed to get into a decent mood a few times but still felt overwhelmingly depressed.

    i tried to go back to work again yesterday. basically woke up having a panic attack which progressively got worse as the morning progressed. at one point, i stared at an HDMI balun (something i've put in countless times) and just...didn't know what to do with it. i literally just stared at it.

    i was working at a house right next to the lake in evanston (just north of chicago) and my brain just wanted me to walk into the lake. i was supposed to work there last wednesday, too. which tells me that it was maybe a blessing that i fucked up my back more and couldn't go. but yesterday i just couldn't get the thought out of my head. clearly, i didn't actually want to end my life (i am a very determined person and if that was really what i wanted, i would have walked into the lake and drowned), but there is something fucked up inside me that was telling me to do it.

    i went out to my car and called my therapist (who thinks i may have post-concussion syndrome, which has exacerbated my depressive episode) while waiting for my mom to come pick me up and having the worst panic attack i've ever had. my therapist wanted me to go to the ER to get a suicide risk assessment and request an intensive outpatient care program.

    i was at the ER from 10:30am until 5pm. my mom stayed with me the whole time, my wife got there before noon and also stayed. i did not like the psychiatrist i spoke to there, who wanted me to do inpatient care. thankfully my psychiatrist and therapist both spoke, and then my psychiatrist spoke to the psychiatrist at the hospital and recommended against inpatient care for me.

    i have an appointment for an intake assessment at a nearby clinic tomorrow afternoon.

    i am still so anxious about work. i don't want to lose my job, but i also can't function there right now. i don't really know what to do other than try to keep existing, despite how much everything feels crushing right now.

    Some of you may remember i mentioned earlier in the year i lost my Great Uncle and then Boss in quick succession. On Thursday morning my sister text to tell me my Aunt had gone into hospital and they didn't know what was wrong. 24 hours later and she's passed away, a combination of Liver Cancer they didn't realize was as bad as it was and a twisted gut they failed to find quick enough. This years had the most extreme ups and downs

    Wow, so sorry to hear about that Haysey. That's such a sudden and shocking way to lose a loved one. Very sad. My condolences.

    I got in a car accident around 3pm and just got home about a half hour ago. My car no longer has a front bumper and I wouldn’t be shocked if there was other damage. Some twat turned right into me as I was trying to leave Meijer then got out and tried to blame me when I clearly had the right of way. I’d bet my useless left nut she was texting. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt (I got checked out at the ER and am okay, just got muscle relaxers) and also the cop didn’t even take a statement from me; he almost immediately figured out she wasn’t paying attention at all. I’m pissed about my car but it could’ve been a lot worse as she had her kid in the back. I hit the front passenger side of her car.

    It's just good everyone was alright. I lost a friend to a careless semi driver about a year ago who was texting on the highway.

    Retroactively fucked - we said goodbye to our dog last Monday. We're doing OK, but it still hurts quite a bit.

    Today I woke up at 4:30 ET to catch a flight from Philadelphia to Chicago, I had almost arrived at the airport when I noticed that I forgot to fill the tank for my rental. By the time I made it to the airport, I had less than 1 hour to get through security and check my bags. I made it with a few minutes before boarding. After landing in Chicago at 9:45 CT, I had about 45 minutes to change terminals because I was flying back to Canada. I flew from Chicago to Calgary and arrived at 1:15 PM MT. I had to transfer from United Airlines to Air Canada, which means I had to re-check my bags and go through security like I had just been dropped off at the airport (huge pain in the ass!). I made it to the gate with literally less than 1 minute until boarding. Then I flew for a third time to Fort St. John (a town in northeastern BC, same latitude as the Alaskan panhandle). By the time I arrived, it was 4:30 PST. I then spent like 20 minutes waiting for my baggage to arrive, when they never did I went to the service desk and found out that they had misplaced it for a later flight and it won't be arriving until tomorrow. Now I have to drive back to the airport just for my bags (WTF!). Add that to my 15 hour travel day, and I have to be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning, and now all I want to do now is dive into bed and sleep but I need to get the caffeine buzz off so I'm going to listen to calming music and play video games.

    I had lasik done, and as such I have to put eye drops in every four hours. This morning I had set all of them out and walked away to take care of something. I come back and grab the bottle that's sitting there and just as I drop into the second eye, my wife says "where did I put the eye drops for the cats".

    Jesus Christ.

    At least it was just an antibiotic, but I still flushed with some normal eye drops before I started my medicated ones.

    She laughed so hard. I'm like, "I can't read that tiny print for shit right now and you put them right next to mine, great plan!"
