What is it with sodding 20th Century Fox blu-rays? My player has the newest firmware, yet won't recognise my Kingsman disc. Apparently they're known to be bad for these problems?

I managed to get it to play once the other day, but it just doesn't want to work now.

people still buys their movies on discs? mind blown :pusheen:

dident you get fired? should maxe scheduling easier atleast.


Anyways, i dont think this 1950s approach to dealing with my emotions is going to last any longer. every other day it really just hits me like a hammer. I never really dealt with my feelings. everytime something felt lovely i just focus on something else and move on, sorta pushing the bad stuff to the bottom of the drawer in the dark hole that is my soul. But lately these moments of weakness has gotten real regular and more violent. i can be lying in bed next to my wife, struggeling to fall asleep and just starting to...shake. all the poo poo that has being hidden in my "mind basement" just rushes forward and strangle my brain. cancer poo poo, old afghanistan poo poo, mean ex girlfriends, hell, even the time i pushed my buddy of his bike when we where 13 comes back and just drowns my ability to think in guilt, fear,confusion and darkness. I try to put up an armour of self ridicule about my disease, and i know i am on my way to recovery. but i think the sum of hiding away serious doubts and fear for the last 18 months are finally greater then my resolve. From being told that it was just routine and i would be well in three months to some months later mentally preparing to not being able to see my kids grow up. and then going back to being on the path to recovery. i dont want to sound like a pussy, but it has been really really tough.

I have never ever talked about any negative emotions, or emotions at all really, it just never was room for it in our family. it was allways handled like any other pain, just walk it of and be quiet. I dont think i ever really have sat down and thought about how i feel about things. and when my feelings now are so loving up front in my brain i have no qlue what to do. no sleep the last 74 hours or so. I had to stop the car earlier today and just cried my brains for 35 mins. I think i am finally going totally insane. and not like... good insane, like roadkill or madmax insane. but like, walking around in a trenchcoat with a brick in your left pocket and a live chicken in the other. I seriously think i should be committed, i cant deal with this poo poo.

most of all, i should probably tell my wife or something. she is a doctor, she fixes broken people. i just dont want to bother anyone with my crazyness

Phonepostin from the loony bin. The doctor at the er recommended 72 hours of inpatient treatment while my brain sorta lands. I can leave if i want to. But i have a feeling that some good sleep and what they called an intro to therapy where i have two sessions a day is good for me.

I wasn't allowed a phone at my involuntarilies :(

I am volunteering, actually i am volunteering to obey their ruleset and to stay the full stint. i can remove my consent at any time but i really dont see the point. i only get to have my phone in periods of the day and at night to listen to podcast. i have a feeling that with the meds i on atm i probably wont make it past the plugs on the beginning of freakonomics.

There really was no viable "middle of the road" solution for me about this. the doctor at the er told me that my option was either waiting for 6-26 weeks for a therapist to be aviable for sessions, or a short stint as an inpatient. the way this works is that every patient being released from inpatient facilities gets an offer for 10-20 sessions starting maximum 48hrs after their release. the kind doctor told me that the main goal for me these next days are getting used to the idea of counselling and sleeping. the sessions here have basicly been about making a plan for the therapy the comming weeks. i should have done this months ago.


and sincerly, dudes and dudettes, thank you for the support. you rock.



and for gently caress sake 14. put that piece of lung back where it came from

god, my legs hurts from yesterdays bike ride.

my cancer treatment is going great tho, if everything goes to plan i only have 4 weeks of radiation left, then a 12week chemo and then...i should be done.

my not being crazy treatment is also going kinda ok, therapy really helps.

Our startup business is really going balls out. or, two of us are doing great and our third partner is...doing gently caress all. last week he did 12 hours of billable work. and since we take out pay based on billables that should not be an issue, problem is that i am working on one major contract that eats all my time, and work is stacking up for the two others due to one of them being so..slow. me being away probably did not help the situation, but in honest. the contract i work on is very long term and the only one i was hurting work wise with my "gone crazy" break was my self.

but in lighter news. i have been cleared medically to work proper firefighter shifts again, and will be doing a 50% shift load for the FD from next week. i cant wait to be back doing what i love.

oh, and also. i ate fresh baked bread with goat cheese for breakfast, alongside two glasses of orange juice.

When i came here yesterday to tell you the good news i was afraid to interrupt dickchat. so i waited and got drunk instead.


yesterday, august 28th at 1335 hours, the year of our lord 2015 i was declared cancer free. there is no evidence of mutation anywhere in my body. i am done....

You made your bed; you're the one who's going to have to sleep in it.

A little bit of "Nah, I've got work in the morning, sorry" would have gone a long way.

Besides, if you're driving up to the "site", it's not even really camping, is it?

More like..."parking"
