Best of luck Bry. Not sure if you've tried it before? Expect it to take a few weeks to build up in your system, but certainly for some it can work wonders then, and probably has least side effects too! :) Best of luck anyway. You'll come out of it again stronger!

Just need somewhere to vent some feelings, I woke up on Friday with swollen lymph nodes. There is one on my neck that's most prominent but groins and arms been aching too. So I've just been to the doctor and she has got me an X-ray and blood test tomorrow morning and got an ultra sound scan being booked within two weeks. I'm 36 and retraining to be paediatric nurse (just finished second year and going into final year) I put it down to stress and exhaustion that my lymph nodes are swollen and I've picked up a virus from somewhere but these test are to rule out cancer. I nearly fell off the chair having not thought of that. I gave up smoking 3 & 1/2 years ago and 95% of the time have a good diet, I hardly even drink! My mum died nearly 2 years ago, my Dad isn't in the best of health so can't talk to him and my Mrs suffers with anxiety so I can't give her the full details. Sorry for going on just needed to vent to my blue family. I know I'm worrying hopefully about nothing

I know what it's like waiting for results, it adds to the stress you must be under. I also find it hard to discuss with others and this is the perfect place for getting the chaos in your head out to others. I am off to see my lung cancer nurse later, she is the only person to whom I can unload on. she has been with me since the beginning 3 years ago and I class her as a friend as well as my counsillor and rely on her advice greatly.
take care and try not to worry too much but if you do feel free to get it all out on here.
 

back from the hospital, was quite productive. got me out of the house and exercised my legs lol. my nurse is arranging an x ray and a consultation with my oncologist for Friday. I know theres not a lot they can do except experiment with meds to make things a bit easier for me but it's like coming on here just knowing that there's someone out there on my side and that i'm not alone, best way I can explain it.
attention seeking whore I know but that's the way things are for me at the moment.

Support from someone with experience in the area is invaluable. Whilst support on here and from your family is great, speaking with someone who has dealt regularly with people in your situation must really help. Everyone has the right to the best possible quality of life so don't put yourself down mate.

Not posted a song for a while so going to go with this one, I used to sing it to the kids every night at bathtime to calm them down when they were little

Hey,

First time poster. I recently discovered the site after growing tired of the other forum I frequented (mentioning no names)

I was really surprised to see this thread, but incredibly pleased. I think it's incredibly important, especially for men to have a safe space to discuss issues surrounding mental health as well as accessing support. ;)

I am a filmmaker, working in Liverpool, with personal experiences of depression and anxiety.

I am currently delivering a project exploring men's mental health, aiming to raise awareness, reduce stigma and signpost to appropriate services.

The project is funded by the Mark McQueen Foundation and supported by The Richmond Fellowship, Imagine and the Liverpool CAMHS Partnership.

I am looking to speak with men, living in Merseyside, aged 18+ with experience of mental health issues. For a series of short films scheduled to shoot in the coming weeks.

If anyone is interested in sharing their story, or want more information, feel free to drop me an email: info@thinkingfilm.co.uk

Thanks,
Danny
