Have an MRI scheduled next month, went for a CT scan this morning around 3 and it came back clear. Hooked up to an IV with 4 different bags of fluid, one after the other to relieve my migraine.

I'm still seeing things that aren't there and after all of the help from the ER, the migraine returned. I need this to be over. No relief in sleep either as it only brings dizzy spells.

Never saw this thread before, this will be a lot. I'm intoxicated right now so this might not even be coherent .I've struggled with mental health since a kid, I had some friends but I was mostly a loner. My father was never around, he lives in the islands and I haven't seen him in years. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and ideas often from then till now. I remember I was around 9 and I went to the barbershop and a guy across the street let off like 5 shots in the streets and I was cried and the whole barbershop laughed and told me to man up. I went to Jamaica at 12 and I stayed with my mother's bestfriends's friend house in Rema area. A man pulled a gun out on me and the kids in the area told me to run and I did, My mother put me in therapy at 13 but the therapist a (white man) felt I was normal. I went to 3 high schools and I hated every one of them. I think one of my biggest issues was growing up in the hood and dealing with PTSD. I was robbed twice one by gun point and and one by knife by age 15. Lost my virgintiy to a girl who claimed she was a lesbian who was 25 and I was 16.

I ended up going to Morehouse and I graduated in 5 years but my B.A. is in a trash field and i'm back in the hood. I will say I didn't take full advantage of my time there but I wasn't prepared for College and my mom just sent me there thinking the jobs and opportunities would fly afterwards. It was a good time but I didn't take full advantage, I ended up getting into a fight my senior year with my roommate who kept threanting me saying he had a gun in his room and he would shoot me so I got tired of him one time and backed the knife out on him. After graduation, I've been making 40-45k since 2016 in bull shyt non profit jobs and I take 3 trains to work to come home and see nikkas shooting dice in front my building and doritios and condom wrappers on the floor. People I went to school with in Spelhouse move to NY and live in better places then i do now or that I did growing up. My poor West Indian mother who dosen't understand what Im going through sent me to the "g building" in 2019 and i knew the place wasn't for me, there waas a Russian girl with cut marks on her arm and a 40 year old man who kept talking to himself, I left after an hour. Went to another therapist who insisted ( I was a normal New yorker) she was a black women.


I got jumped and knocked out unconscious by 3 nikkas on Kwanza at a bar in Bed Stuy and I've never been the same since. After my last suicide attempt or thought, my mother broke down and cried , the first time I ever saw her cry in my life and that's literally, the only reason I haven't done it by now.now I absolutely yearn for violenceI carry a brass knuckle knife everywhere now (I can't get a gun in NY) and I'm on the edge constantly. I start cyber security bootcamp Monday, and if does not work out, I'll probably pull the plug or do something drastic. I thank this site for letting me learn about tech and get a second chance at life but if this doesn't work, it;s over for me now.
