As for the rest of you, I am leaving. This probably was something that was predictable due to my lack of communication for months over here. But I think it needs to be said to y'all. NS simply has become too toxic for me to keep pretending that things haven't changed from when I first made this account in 2013. When I saw things unravel was, perhaps, in 2016. It's 2019. My exit has been long overdue for three years.

I want to thank you all for putting up with me and my sh!t here in NS. But, it's time for me to move on. I am just sorting out the last few things I need to sort out and I am then going to re-scramble my password and letting the nation CTE. You guys got my email and Ethel has my number, so I am not worried about communication, you can reach me any time and I will try to be prompt in answering.

Love you all,
Lito.

No, you're not allowed.

Get your ass on steam often or I'll be very upsetty.

Well, after many months of heavy training and strict dieting, today is the day every fibre of my being just gave up on the diet.

I can turn the crash into a strategic diet break, but preventing myself from eating everything is proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Fun fun fun.

Sorry to hear. Hope that's not what it ends up being.

I'm feeling amazing.

It's Monday over there now, isn't it? Crap, here I am, with only hours to prepare a derp body club welcoming party.

Hope you're sleeping a bit better.

Yes it is - still 4am though, so not sure if they'll be making me wait. Technically I haven't tried calling the audiology clinic yet, but I suspect their opening hours aren't quite so accomodating.

Meniere's is accompanied with pressure in the ear, like going on a plane but being unable to pop it: while the tinnitus is still really bad, I've started to have moments of relief from the pressure so I'm hopeful the tinnitus is going to relieve soon too - it's gotten to the point where I can get back to sleep if I wake in the night, which I couldn't do on the first two days. I'm hopeful at the moment that this was just a particularly bad attack and that I have a mild version of the condition, because this is the worst it's ever been (I used to just assume my 'episodes' were dehydration, which is why I've never mentioned them) and Meniere's doesn't tend to become more aggressive over time except in terms of the gradual hearing loss.

And thanks Laerod; unfortunately for me it's looking like the only real alternatives to Meniere's would be substantially more serious, so at this point it's actually the best-case scenario as far as me and my GP are aware. Luckily I 'seem' to have a fairly textbook set of symptoms for Meniere's - the last thing I really need is to find out if my current hearing loss matches a Meniere's profile instead of noise damage and to rule out any physical damage to the inner-ear, hence the audiologist.

Take care, buddy. Didn't chat all too much with any of you, but I'm sorry to see you go. It was nice seeing a sensible face in NSG from time-to-time, but it can indeed get a bit tiresome.

You'll always have a place here if you ever feel like having a chat. Don't think I have your email myself, but at least I know who to ask ;)

I'm glad to have some more time for NS and you zany lot again, aside from passively stalking the forums.

Last few weeks have been hell. I got placed on a big project which had a crazy unrealistic deadline given it involved some highly confidential financial data.

Five months in and we still haven't passed all our security requirements. Managers are getting antsy and I've developed a light alcohol dependency.

Therns will be have to be the person we all live vicariously through this week, it seems.

I'm assuming our beloved Soldati has left us by now; someone please pass my dearest regards to him next time you get in touch.

thinking of going on antidepressants bc i haven’t been feeling myself lately. sometimes for days i just cannot get out of bed to the point where i’m dehydrated and hungry and feel like i’m gonna pass out. i’ve been getting super snappy and irritable despite having a mega laid back personality. i’m losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. sorry if this is depressing lol but i’m wondering if anyone has experience with this stuff.✌🏻✌🏻

I would really urge you to see a psychiatrist. I've had a few friends who have had severe mental health issues, and a good rule of thumb for "when should I see a professional?" is when something out of the ordinary gets in the way of your everyday life - losing interest in the things that usually make you happy, and getting dehydrated and hungry because of it is a really definitive signal that a professional could have a very positive impact for your quality of life. I've forgotten if you were in university or high school - in both cases, chances are you have a professional available to you as a student as part of that institution's ongoing responsibilities to you, and they can help you figure out how extensive any intervention needs to be.

Although it's only a minor thing to say, I have had personal experience with just feeling too meh mentally to get out of bed, and although it's not much, I found that keeping a water bottle by my bed at least gave me some relief and (occasionally) was the difference between me being totally demotivated and me being able to take that first step for self-care and keeping a daily routine.

I'm 90% sure that a specific Snazzyite has experience with psychiatric medication, so they might chime in sooner or later.

Recreationally? Yes.

As to the point, I do prefer psychiatrists, to psychologists, as they can prescribe drugs and deal with mental issues. They do tend to cost more.

That said the family has lots of experience, if you have questions or want to discuss, italios please feel free to hit up.
