@HowtoDestroyAngels thank you for your kindness. I am just struggling with my current situation of changing my pain medication and it’s causing my anxiety to go into thermonuclear meltdown mode. I’ve been babysitting my niece and nephews for the past few weeks and they are asleep in the next room and I don’t want to hurt them or my parents and my sister. I just don’t know how I’m going to get through the rest of my life. I’m struggling now and I know that it’s only going to get harder. Yesterday I saw a close family friend who is battling bladder cancer for the second time and I thought I couldn’t handle it if my mom was in the same situation. My parents are pretty healthy now but I worry about them and I know that it’s selfish of me to think but I don’t want to outlive them. I don’t feel equipped for life or capable enough to do it on my own. I’m sure that I wouldn’t be thinking this way if my pain wasn’t so out of control but it is and I am.

@RunTheJulz Every positive vibe that I can possibly muster is going out to you Julz. You have become what I consider a friend to me and I want you to have some relief today. If there is anything else that I can do for you, just let me know.

@DrawntoaDistance shark attacks are so incredibly rare. I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning and winning the lottery. I would probably get a cramp and end up getting washed back onto the beach knowing my luck. (I fail at most everything)

@RunTheJulz oh yikes.. my hub just has back pain.. just the knee stuff itself is painful tho i had a friend that had that from working out.. she was fit like you, abs in all 😳

@YoMomma I have a titanium fusion in my lower back and I have a very large knee brace for my right knee that I have to wear for most activities. I don’t mind getting injured but I absolutely hate the stuff that never heals.

@RunTheJulz how’s it going Scrud?
Do you have the courage to see how badly you’ve been beaten?

Are you gonna try and fight or just throw more weak ad hominems?😂😂😂

@Ferise1 Why would you say this? It has nothing to do with what you think you’re saying. Drowning in the sense that you’re evidently trying to envision has nothing to do with holding breath. It has to do with the human body’s reflex to suck in water and once the lungs have been filled with water the oxygen in the body’s bloodstream is used up and the brain slowly starts to die. 5-10 minutes without air is the point of brain death. To the victim (for lack of a better term) experiencing the effects of hypoxia fades out slowly and peacefully once the last remaining oxygen in the blood in the brain is used up.
I think you’re mistaking that reality and fact for the variety of reasons and situations that have put the decedent into the series of events that can and will lead to drowning.
“Cart before the horse” type mistake on your part. But if you really want to see if I’m right and you’re wrong by all means please do go ahead and try for yourself…
