Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
sounds more anxiety than depression. either way not good. the brain is a very complex thing and the slightest imbalance of the chemicals it requires can play funny beggars with it.

Very disturbing report in our local paper (Shropshire Star) last Saturday about a car that swerved onto the wrong side of the road and killed a 67 year old motorbike rider. Happened at Aberhosan, Machynlleth in May last year, the car driver got a two year ban and 27 week suspended jail sentence, the car drivers solicitor said 'he was very ill and is wracked with guilt' - yeah maybe, but the totally innocent motorbike rider was killed instantly.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Been there done that Seeker, although you've had it tough for 3 years. My mum was taken into care after fracturing her hip, which accelerated her dementia to the point she wasn't my mum anymore, well not the person I could have a rational conversation with.
However it is for the best, we couldn't have cared for her like the care home staff did for my mum for the last 7 months of her life. If you're happy with the home, then that's a load of stress off you. I viewed 3 and the last one was my choice. Your dad looked like a top bloke, hold onto the good stuff

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Same here, mum has Picks disease, a rare form of dementia. And it can be passed on as it's caused by a faulty gene. So as will as dealing with her illness, I'm getting treated to see if I'll develop it too, and it usually comes on right about the age I am now.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My gripe of the day is this heat!
37 today with a heat index of 40. Humidity is out the roof as well. I need to live somewhere with a more moderate climate.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Gary - when you start feeling like that put your shorts on and take Mabel for a run. I had a bad patch with work about 15 years ago (terrible boss) and I found doing something outdoors like gardening or walking the dog was a nice way to re-balance.
Seeker - sound advice from the guys and gals on here who have been through it. My parents are mid seventies now and I'm keeping an eye out for signs they may be heading that way. Bill - our heatwave is not much fun over here either. Although it is slightly cloudy today in Buckinghamshire and we *might* get a shower this afternoon. One way to feel a bit different about our lot in life is to realise: Could be worse - I could have wandered into a cave in Thailand and been trapped there for weeks until I learned to scuba dive...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Chin up peeps - some of you sound like your going through it.
Keep smiling. Or just go for a ride and scream like a raged loon into your helmet whilst doing triple figures. Or maybe that just helps me.... Last edited by shiftin_gear98; 05-07-18 at 08:35 AM. |

Running definitely helps Trev, hard physical activity generally too. Running with Mabel has been one of the things keeping me on a slightly more even keel for a while now. Unfortunately at the time that last bout came to kick me I had a minor heel problem and I know that if I'd run I would have had to wait even longer for it to sort itself. Running early tomorrow morning with Mabel and a running buddy though which should help to clear the head a little. Quote:
The scream - definitely!!! |
