Yes thanks, mate. But you wouldn't believe my final diagnosis.

To cut a long, drawn out story short...

I did a lot of weights for headspace time, and the fact I like being on my own. And its supposed to be good for beating depression.

I got pretty big, but then had a tough period, which is when I cried out for help on here. To get big I had to eat protein and I ate loads of tuna. 2 tins a day, actually.

I went to the doctors with lethargy and suspected depression, again, earlier this year. Blood tests taken as a precaution showed up problems. Went to a specialist, been diagnosed with mercury poisoning from the tuna.

So the hobby I used to beat my depression was actually making me more depressed and killing me lol.

I'm feeling much better now. But the way my head worked during those really dark times earlier this year makes me now help anybody I can. It was a ******* eye opener. 

To all those who commented and showed they cared at the time was ******* brilliant. I posted my original post and then logged off fearing I would be reacted to negatively. 

I thank @Mostyn6 in my head everytime this thread reemerges. It gave me the strength to find out answers and get better. And to everyone who responded first time.

So to the poster today, if you're reading. Hang in there, mate. Take the boost you might get from people listening and understanding how you feel, and use it. Whether it gives you the energy to get through tomorrow or to get back to the doctors. Just keep talking. We will be here.

'Kin 'ell - I knew healthy lifestyles had to be bad for you! Glad you're on the mend.

I suppose I'm the opposite I've not bothered buying a watch because my phone does everything I want from a watch. Now people are buying this for exactly the reason I've not bought one.

Suppose you could go into the watch thread on here and ask what makes those watches worth X thousands just to tell the time?

Least with this it allows to not attached to your phone all day, flick of a wrist see the emails, texts come through, hands free calling whilst driving (not that I drive but still).

Handy when you've set the house up for Philips Hue, how many times have you been walking up the stairs and thought I'd like to turn the light red? I can do that now at a flick of the wrist. 

I couldn't find a good reason either.

Don't tell them I've got one of those as well! 'Kin ell, I already look unethical as it is

Can someone explain to me the point? Other than to roll your sleeves up and show everyone you bought an overpriced device to tell you the time that your phone already gives you?

I could see the punches landing and the screens like I was watching TV. Been to many fights? Unless you have a lot of spare cash you ain't sitting anywhere near ringside!

Never been to any. But I've had eyes and experienced vision for 46 years and consider myself well versed on what a good view of something is

Just now, tomsdubs said:

Cannot believe Joshua is still being called a hype job after a fight where he proved everything to the contrary. Not sure why casuals talk like this. But hey ho.

Had a good view for this one, place went mental.

Funnily enough I was directly behind some DCFC season ticket holders, we get everywhere.

That's a decent view?

I'd get a better view on the radio.

The DJ played "hit the road Jack" at my wedding do, which made me chuckle.

There was some boxing on a channel called Spike last night.  Josh Taylor from Edinburgh looked a good prospect, he has a 8 - 0 record and is eying up a fight with Ricky Burns. He is trained by Shane McGuigan and Barry was ringside with Frampton. 

Anthony Crolla is talking about good fight tonight, hopefully he has enough left in the tank. 5 live at 1015pm for me. 

Dick Burns?

I'm not a big fan of tattoos in general really. I think if you're a wrestler, biker, heavy metal guitarist, Maori warrior or navy seal then fair enough. But anyone else usually looks daft to me.

I am particularly annoyed by tattoos you have to read though. Make it a picture or GTFO.

Tattoos are at their greatest when they're badly drawn and/or spelled.

What really gets me, are 'celebrity' t.v. shows (I'm a Celebrity, Celebrity Come Dine with Me, Celebrity Wipeout) that are full of people only famous for being on other reality programmes - being on Made in Chelsea, Gogglebox, Geordie Shore..does NOT make you a celebrity.

I honestly thought nobody watched any of that shide. Was shocked to go into my work's Sheffield office and hear all the women talking about it, like it matters. Essex, Chelsea, Gogglebox... I can honestly say I've not seen a single minute of any.

Trick-or-Treaters ....

As of first thing 1st November I was three Crunchie bars and four Wagon Wheels lighter. Had both experiences -

Timorous knock on the door at about 6.15pm. Small lad wearing enormous rubber werwolf mask. Very polite, said thanks as did his Dad standing at the end of my drive.

Bang on door at 7.15pm. Four short and snarling crew-cuts. Amusing though, I was them once.

If you don't like it go to the pub. Or lie on the floor with all the lights off. Or nail a mummified cat to your front door.

About 10 years ago I had a lad of about 14 years knock on the door, trick or treating - mid October. No costume or nothing.

I said you're way too early and he said he knew but he was going on holiday so couldn't go on the right day.

Safe to say I politely turned him away.

This specimen has been abandoned on Uttoxeter Road between town and the Rowditch...sorry about the photo quality,  I had to ask the missus to take it from the car as we passed it earlier and it wasn't prudent to stop for a proper photo shoot. 

 

Looks like it was spooked and has bolted.

Sorry if this gripe has already been made. Driving along a dual carriageway and a truck in front pulled out to overtake another lorry then took between 2 and 3 miles to complete the manoeuvre. At that rate he was probably travelling at 1mph faster - idiots like that need ducking in the nearest pond (for a minimum of 10 minutes)

Must be more like 0.1mph because normal walking pace is c. 3mph and I can walk past a parked artic in 10-15 seconds. So by my maths a 3mph increase in speed should pass it in 15 seconds, 1mph would be 45 seconds - but you can be onto a second song on the radio before he's finished his manoeuvre. 

Just don't ask for an encore.

Wasn't expecting it to be easy, but certainly wasn't expecting it to be this difficult.

He's been in and out of Royal Derby, mostly due to post-chemo infections, but they finally seem to have the right blend of painkillers and anti-emetics for him.

It just seems to be that it looks like he's turning a corner, then something else trips him up. 

Him losing heart and fight is starting to take its toll, not helped by poor 'customer service' by RDH.

Much as I love our health service and the obvious commitment many of the staff show, I believethat the cuts have ripped the heart and soul out of it. It's no longer a world class service.
