Hi, I'm glovesexguy ( thank you random name generator!)
I am 49 and I live with my soon-to-be-ex. Waiting for divorce papers to go through the mill. We do not talk to each other and he doesn't care whether I live or die. I don't have kidthings.
I used to work in forensics, but after cancer decided to bump me in the noggin I have been rendered quite useless. No strength, no stamina, no appetite, dysfunctional brain, I can no longer read or write, and my short term memory is a joke.
So for the past 6 years I've been housebound. I hate it!!
Used to be very active, pro cycling, mountaineering, wild camping, skiing, skelton, travels... you name it.Yes i have adhd. Now I struggle putting socks on. I don't know what day it is.
The hardest part was that everyone promised be I'd be cured and fine it would just take some patience. So I put my patient-pants on. After 2 years they said there was no reason to think it'd get better and now (3 years later) I am a wreck. No joy in life whatsoever. And it's getting worse. Every day I lose another thing I was able to do before.
So my suicidal plan and wish is based on me not wanting to live like this for another 20-40 years. That's a scary thought. I've told my GP, she gets it and has listed me a dnr. I finally got to see a super psychologist after 5 years of waiting, but she doesnt know what to do with me. They all think this is rational and pragmatic and see no reason trying to talk me out of it.
"Are you depressed?" "No"
"Anxiety?" "No"
"Drugs or alcohol?" "No"
So no mental condition or problems, I just don't want to live like this. They agree, lol. But I do not feel all comfortable telling them *everything*, and I don't know what to say and not to say.
I will not be admitted no matter what I say though, as they have established i don't have a diagnosis that would warrant that. Plus ofc I have hospital-PTSD so they know it would be worse to send me there.
I spend most of my time listening to audiobooks, music and podcasts, pottering in the garage, and if body and weather allows it I go on trips with my motorbike. Loooooong trips!!! Its winter here now, so not much of that for a while. Was gonna take the bike to my spot, but I will take partners car as I'm not sure i wanna wait until may/start of season.
I also want to build a forge. I can't. Fun to pretend though :)
