Mental health - please take care of it

A few weeks ago I was working with a client to assist with debts, the client had a family as well. Last week I found out the client had commited suicide due to the stress of his situation.
We ended up doing the job pro-bono and getting the family free and clear anyway.

I love my job but sometimes I’m having to walk into the worst period of people’s lives and try to pull them out and when these unfortunate events happen it’s hard to disconnect.

I’m setting water pipes I can stand in all week(84”)I’m not a plumber, but I’m building a water treatment plant, so close enough.
I’m happy to assist with plumbing issues.

In particular, any type of plastic pipe that uses solvent welding, is very easy I.e. schedule 40&80. Sdr 35 and 26 for drain pipe likewise.

You can learn what you need from videos, I can help troubleshoot if needed

Yeah my thing is I’m trying to do this on a $0 budget so I gotta improvise with a lot and videos only tell you how to do things the right way, not the cheap way.


Oof walking sucks.

Only 2 more days of it though,

Man this is one of my favorite banana man lines. Fun fact, I own a banana man shirt. My son made it for me.

Also, I feel this.

As you get older and realise how fake most people are, this definitely hits home.

For me, life is best when you surround yourself with people who aren’t afraid to speak up with you but also hold you accountable for short commings with the sole purpose to see you grow. People who challange you to be best and can see you at your worst and still stand beside you. I’m lucky enough to have good people like that in my life. Always grateful for them.

Hundred folds better than surrounding yourself with lapdogs whom have lack of/no personality of their own but instead only seek validation by enabling and following blindly.

Sometimes, you don’t cry because you’re used to it already.

Sometimes, you don’t cry because it doesn’t solve anything and it wastes bodily fluids.

Just wanted to thank this great community.
The support I received after my accident last year was just amazing.

I have now been “epilepsy-free”(kind of) for one year and have received my driving license again.

I have also been promoted to Technical Manager of a Psychiatric Hospital (fitting)

My life is getting back on track and it’s thanks to all of you !

I don’t cry for fear of being given something to cry about.
Being given something real to cry about and quicksand, were ever present specters in my young life.luckily I’m not a girl, so being tired to the train tracks wasn’t a worry
