Sorry to hear that. I read a story in the papers recently where one chap had a brain tumour that he wasn't aware of, and it was making him act in a way that had him lash out at his family always and divorce his wife. Once they discovered it, he managed to get it removed, survive, and actually start to patch things up with his family.

I guess there isn't really a point to this comment other than to say you definitely have my sympathies, that stuff can be brutal. I hope you can get past this professionally.




So that is where I am at basically, very similar story.

I gambled all our money away, stopped showing up for work, presented as drunk unknowingly.

I was never violent but I was basically like a child with no self control or ability to delay gratification.

I was lucky that I started getting severe headaches and nausea that lead to scans otherwise I'd be divorced, homeless and who knows what.
