Something to get off my chest

I hope you can find a viable replacement for your liver, bud. Also hope things turn around for you.

■■■■■■■ hell. Dude.

Look, whatever happens, no-one here wants you to die. Rehab has got to be worth a shot, (no pun intended) right?

I just saw this thread, and frankly it has left me sorrowful and speechless.

You have whatever support I can give through this ordeal.

If you need some one to speak to in confidence, you’re more than welcome to PM me. I also have a few ideas as to certain avenues you can take. Obviously, this is just me acting completely independently, and in no way affiliated with the forum. But I will offer whatever help I can.

I ask also that you not make the error of believing you’re alone in this, the outpouring of support alone proves otherwise.

Just stumbled about this and…well, “just” is about 3 hours ago, and since then I don´t know what to say…

If I had 2 livers I´d seriously consider a donation, but right now I´m simply cursing evolution for giving us 2 kidneys instead…

Whatever happens, try to get some happiness. You had obviously a hard path so far, so in my book you deserve to be happy.

We never chatted much, but if I can help or support you in any way, drop me a PM.

@Ganjamira: a healthy person can donate up to 80% of their liver. It grows back.

Well said, fellow gent.

I did´nt knew the liver can regenerate like that! :hushed: Think I´ve to set up a new donor-card knowing this now^^
I´m not sure if I´m considered “healthy”, since smoker + overweight, but it´s a lookout! Could´nt give 80% though, I need to keep a bit extra for @KrewlraiN and possible future cases within the family.

(Is it weird that a liver-transplant is less scary to me than donating spinal fluid/cells?! That´s so much easier, but alone the thought of a syringe in my spine makes me cringe…)

Its the only visceral organ that does it. And only takes a month.

Its where the prometheus having his liver eaten/regrowing his liver in a day comes from. Titan=better/faster. But still.
They can keep there big ass lumbar puncture needles. ■■■■ that. I’m good.

God damn, man. I’m speechless.
What the others said: rehab has got to be worth it. I don’t know how you’ll feel about being told that you can turn this around, it sounds really pale to me in light of your tale. It’s true, though.

Whatever you need.

Funny pun but I smoked it. Got you there

Thank you sir

Thank you for the thought and offer

It’s not even just this, it’s everything else.

Quick story time, cause this seems like a decent place to do it if I’m venting already.

I have a diagnosis of Schizophrenia and I get pretty regular delusions. The thing with delusions is that they’re not JUST what people think they are. These past few days, I’ve had this delusion that my doctor is trying to kill me. I know it’s a delusion, but I can’t help but believe and act on it, so I haven’t been there to refill my medication, meaning I’m missing anti-psychotics/mood stabilizers and anti depressants/anti anxiety medication, so not only is my physical health complete ■■■■, my mental health is worse than it has been… at least the past couple years, maybe ever

That right there is why you need a support system. Or internet to have them delivered. As a man of the mind and a disciple of MANY disciplines, I am quite knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and the mind itself (i like to know things. I’m immune/naturally HIGHLY tolerant to most pain meds) what antipsychotics are you on? Without some kind of adverse, I’d hands down peg you for clozapine.

This, taken with your past history, makes it a medical emergency and should be treated as such.
However you’d like to consider your options for the future, you’re running a real risk of having all options taken away from you if you’re missing important medication.

Please consider having yourself checked in. No way should you have to deal with this on your own, no matter that you’ve been able to get through it in the past.

Get in touch with someone you trust and have them be physically present if that helps. Trying to cope alone might put you at too great a risk, and as others have said nobody wants this thread to suddenly go silent.

@ThatOneGuy23

I just read this.

Holy sh*t man.

So sorry to hear about everything you are going through.

Any update since you posted in here last?

Just based on your posts since I started heavily posting in the Off Topic section, I would never have guessed you were going through anything like this.

I’m here for you if you ever need to talk or rant or vent or cry or anything, my Canadian brother.

This makes me whining about my recent troubles seem absolutely irrelevant!
