An update, that this is where I'm at at the moment. Funnily enough after reading this and then being told the same by a doctor I felt a lot better about it all. Check up in 3 and 6 months to start off with then every 6 months after that apparently.My husband also has arrymthmia, first diagnosed some twenty years ago during a medical at work. He was prescribed a blood thinner as apparently his arrhythmia makes him more at risk of a blood clot otherwise he was told to carry on as normal. Best wishes for a favourable outcome for your Christmas Eve appointment.
I had a lovely time in the UK with my mum and dad etc. and flew back yesterday from a winter wonderland, which I hadn't seen very often as a kid. Apparently here in NYC there's a blizzard coming so I'll have to figure out if I am still okay to shovel - could be a good excuse to finally get a snowblower though
Thanks again to all for the messages and well wishes. Here's to a better 2025.

Bloody hell mate that's a lot. My FIL died of septicemia within 24hrs, and for us it was shocking that something like that can still happen these days.
I hope you're able to find solace with friends and family and process together, but we're here if you need, too.
I put my back out about 20 years ago trying to move a cast iron radiator a couple of inches like an idiot. Don't do what I did and try and work through it. Listen to your body and rest it get PT if you can.

Thanks mate.
Foolish pride makes us try things we shouldn't.
The same foolish pride that still stops a lot of people telling others that they have problems.
Anyone who is reading this thread but doesn't feel safe enough yet to share, please know, it doesn't make you weak. we all have problems at some time or other, to a greater or lesser degree. True strength is in the collective. when we help each other through those rough times.

I know what you mean mate. This is why I had to let my football allegiance slide down my list of priorities a long time ago.
I still swear at the telly watching Everton but I refuse to let football ruin my weekend.
100% this. Talking about things is so important. I've also been journalling for the past 18 months or so, and have found that to be really useful. Meditation has been good as well, especially at calming down when things have been extremely triggering. I've been using Balance and they provide a free year with a referral link. If anyone wants it, let me know.
Same as me really now. I haven't enjoyed watching the football for years so I've just stopped.
I watch the odd game now like Bournemouth last week but otherwise I just check the score or wait for MOTD.

Life feels a lot easier to manage when you forgo any Everton, I swear I laugh at the club when I compare them to life’s real problems.
Learn to switch off from it. It's helped me. I've probably gone to far the other way now. I've just lot interest since in it and most things really since my divorce started in 2018
I’ve stopped going, as my lad doesn’t want to go anymore - “ what’s the point dad ? “
I feel much better for it.
Mentally you can handle the odd bad performance and defeat, but not this, it’s just non stop.
If something is getting you down, remove it from your life mate

Money is tight, life is short, why would I want to invest in unhappiness for someone to become a millionaire. I am not shaming blues who choose to go by the way; you’re all a better fan than I’ll ever be. I was a ST for 25 years and it just became a miserable, expensive experience.I’ve stopped going, as my lad doesn’t want to go anymore - “ what’s the point dad ? “
I feel much better for it.

When you have kids and you go missing for an entire day to go the match and everything else that goes with it, spending that day with them becomes a much much more fulfilling experience.
It’s the afterwards that gets me. The ruined weekend, the bad mood, the snappiness.
Like I said, you can take it now and again, but not every week.

I'm currently taking anti depressants, but I'm still struggling, for years I used drink as a coping mechanism and could use Everton as a distraction. Now I just find every single day I'm on edge, only time I relax is when I sleep. I've tried AA, but TBH I don't identify, while my drinking is problematic. I don't drink shorts, I don't drink much more than 7 pints usually. Using drink as a coping mechanism isn't normal, but at same time I never drink in house. Im stuck where I don't fit in with normal drinkers and don't fit in with Alcoholics.
