Sloth

[jvgzrdo]

I am constantly sad and my life is basically sleeping and drinking because I don’t have to work. I became this sloth after a misdiagnosed life-ending disease and now I cant snap out of it.

Hello

I was diagnosed with a Chronic Condition and that lead me down a footpath of Voluntary Work for the NHS. I also went into various NHS Think Tanks and Committees. I was also trained in inspecting wards in Mental Health Wards etc. I have been basically quite active in a restricted sort of way until I started using what I had learned on various sites like this.

I gather your concerns regarding a Chronic condition, and Palliative Care, were an eye opener and that would have knocked you sideways. However now you still have your health concern. You are now expected to return to Work. Are you restricted what you can do.??

You now need to accept that you can now move on. It may take time and I would consider you to Visit the Occupational Therapist who deals with disability in the DWP, they may be able to help you.

Hi, I am overwhelmed by what you said. I am not restricted to do anything. As a matter of fact I am a 30 year old with two college degrees one from canada and one from Brazil.

I just was a guy who got accepted into the best colleges and after a death sentence got side tracked really bad

Hi I am not surprised at all that you are finding it so difficult to move on after the horrendous time you have been through. You must have been through hell with all the emotions associated with being given a death sentence, then even more when told it was a mistake. I couldn't imagine having to go through that roller coaster so you will take time to heal. Have you considered counselling as this might help? x

It is tough to get started again, but it is in you to do so. The fact that you posted here tells me that you want to change, but don't know how.

I know how tough it can be to get going, but you can. Take one day at a time one step at a time. It can take time to get into being with people again and doing things on a regular basis, so find out what support is available in your local area.

I found starting with setting myself daily tasks and finding something else to occupy my time was helpful. I had a goal to volunteer for a children's charity so I made an effort everyday to get myself into a position where I could do that then I went for the training and I have had some fun sessions helping the charity out.

The main thing I found was not to beat myself up about the days that I couldn't do anything it was more helpful for me to plan for the next day I was able to do something and reach my next goal. Always looking forward, even now I try to look forward on the worst days. I spent months feeling like I was part of a dance going forward and backwards in my progress, or I was taking to costal road to where I wanted to go rather than the motorway. I am still on that costal road, but it has brought up some amazing things that I thought I would never do.

I hope you can see that you can do this and that you are not alone.

Take care and good luck. x

Hello jvgzrdo, What happened to you was a horrible thing and so unfair. Please don't let it define the rest of your life. You must be angry and in pain which is probably the reason for drinking. Talking to someone would help you learn to deal with it instead of letting your life become meaningless. Having goals and working at whatever level you are able may be your salvation. People worked to survive long ago and some still do others don't need to do that, but we all have to do something to give ourselves self- esteem. Something meaningful. Take some time , do some reading on what others have done in similar situations. I doubt you are happy just now, but you will be again. Stay with us for awhile and let us give you support and encouragement . Pam
