HI Pablo

you say you live in Devon? not sure if its the same down there but i live in Manchester...2 years ago i had a melt down ...went to A&E and was seen by a crisis intervention team every day for 6 weeks until i was settled [meds had kicked in and no threat to myself]

i'm told all major hospitals have adopted this practice...if you ever get wired again call your local hospital and ask if the have a CIT......Good luck..........im so glad your brother was there to support you and rescue you from yourself....

After weeks of pain I never knew existed, I think I need to contact my old therapist...

Struggling :-(

geez Andy. really sorry to hear this. is there any appointment coming up? shouldn't they know if the steroid injections are working or not already and try something else or something in conjunction just hate to see you suffer like that.

(((Andy))) a gentle one.

Thanks both... I am just coming to the realisation that life as I knew it will never be the same again & that is hard to take... My injury is the sort that will never fully recover & even surgery has a long waiting list, a long recovery period & a 50/50 chance of either small improvement or making the pain worse...

The days of this guy tearing life up are gone... I know there are a lot of people in the same boat...

I have contacted my old therapist & I await her response...

I hope that you meet up with your old therapist...asap.

a therapist would be good. nip any bad thoughts in the bud. I know you don't want to hear it, but I really believe that medical knowledge is jumping in leaps and bounds and you just never know what the future could hold. don't lose hope. I've been there and its a dark place to be. I don't want you to go there.

dear friend
as i know so well of that dark hole
is when you need to be with positive persons
in your life
ASAP
please don't fall
hang on
hang on
i wish for you a belly laugh
that brings tears happy tears
me

Andy I hope you have heard from your therapist by now. :grouphug:
