I put a gun to my head, ready to end it all.

Woke up in a hospital. No drugs involved.

I drove myself there. The gun was in the glove compartment. Apparently, I self admitted through ED.

I remember NOTHING from gun to my head to waking up in the hospital.

Not sure if that qualifies as near death, but I think I was.

I am better now. That was years ago, I came close again recently, but this time I have answers about myself and a place to start.

Lilo and Stitch!

Nope. Not normal sounding to me. Even your doctor says it’s not normal if you think about it, he thinks it’s early. As everyone else states, second opinion time.

Everything you listed, I get, but at a mere fraction, save for the swelling, nothing here. Beyond seeing another doctor for a second opinion, it sounds like you’re physically fit, which is more troubling. I am kind of fit, and sometimes my back hurts. What makes it go away? Working out my core muscles in a regimen after a few weeks. Staying active.

I am 40 fwiw, and you sound far worse off than I feel. See another physician.

Can we go out on a limb and say the father is even being sort of abusive here? I mean… Here’s a very dangerous thing that can cause people to die. Go have fun.

I get it isn’t that simple but… I have a kid. I also have guns. My kid wants to learn to shoot one day.

There’s a big heavy door, and a lock. No way for my kid to access them without me. No access.

There’s criticizing another’s parenting choices, and then there’s abuse and I am starting to think this is abusive.

Yes! Yes they should. I’m not sure they can be. Not with so many companies out there.

I work for a company in a location in a modest sized upper Midwest town. It is a decidedly white area. Yet, even with rather easy hiring requirements, the store is whiter than the area by a considerable margin. The GM sees fit to refuse staffing certain departments with women. At all. He’s openly used the n-word on the sales floor. He was called to the mat for that, and even with a history of bigoted activities and remarks, still has a job.

This is only an example. So yes, they should. But they don’t.

I don’t know, I mean an uproar over someone doing something responsible in getting rid of a pet is pretty stupid. You can say all you want, “oh no it ate something boo hoo” but that could have been the wake up call showing them they were not able to or willing to dedicate the time to properly care for the dog.

Maybe the passports were the latest thing and they realized it was their fault they were eaten, cue the soul searching and decision to put it up for adoption.

Seems a lot better and far less controversial then shooting it.

Can we fucking not.

I mean… Maybe they saw ‘C’make’ and then realized.

Yeah, and I’m fairly certain he bought the right to be called ‘founder’ of Tesla… From the founders.

“Became clear…”

At what point was it not clear? Form 4473 is really straightforward on this!

There’s losing sight, and then there’s trying to find it. I remember a short video where a toddler was wandering straight for a road, and someone happened to prevent a tragedy, and mom came running out of the house as the camera was still rolling.

People were calling negligence, what a terrible mom, yadda yadda. No, that mom was running around the house looking for her kid, frantic as time passed. You just don’t think they can open the door that early. Manipulating a door latch or knob is a developmental milestone, plus, what if the door didn’t properly latch? Mom could just as easily looked outside first, but that would be counterintuitive.

Also, “I thought you had him/her?” Is a real thing.
