Hey Farms, so, I’m in my late 20s, I’ve been out of home since I was 15 due to unfit living conditions deemed by the government and I was put on $430 benefits each fortnight; so I started being a bricklayers labourer. Somewhere between leaving home and finding a job I dislocated my shoulder and never left it in the sling (fucking idiot) I never hung around school, so an office job was never going to suit me. As it went on, I learnt to throw my shoulder in and keep working, I did this for 5 years until my right shoulder couldn’t do anything for me anymore, can’t wipe my ass or throw a dart, sometimes it hurts opening the door. I tried a more relaxed kind of job taking up a carpentry apprenticeship offer, I got dismissed two years in because of my shoulders and condition, which is understandable. I recently had a job at a timber yard building pre-fab frames and trusses but I couldn’t cut it, I’ve been having major depression slips where I don’t eat, I just smoke weed and don’t do anything,
I can’t get my shoulders fixed until I’m 12 months without a seizure and for the first time in my life, I’ll have a license. And I don’t want to sit here and do this shit forever. I’m not a grub, I’ve tried with employment even in office work and they still won’t hire due to my condition (which again is also understandable). I had to cut my friends off, they’re perfectly fine, got licenses nothing wrong and want to wither away on the couch smoking cones, drinking beer and playing CoD, never had a job in their life.
I’m not whinging about my life I’m just posting that would help answer any questions or suggestions, is it worth building muscle still, my left shoulder isn’t fully the best that will need an op too, but no where near as bad as my right, got full range of motion with left, I need help, I’ve never stepped foot in a gym, I don’t know about exercise, eating good or things to help with pain / epilepsy. I’ve only ever been work fit and I still have a very muscular upper body. Is it worth going to the gym with my shoulders ? Do you think I should wait it out until post surgery? I don’t want to take anti depressants, I know I can feel good I just need help getting there naturally (No pun intended). I just feel like I missed out on so much growing up and I spent so much time with a “fuck it” attitude, I can’t keep sitting here and falling back into those thoughts.
On the up & up, coming up 4 more days I will be 7 months seizure free (I’ve only ever hit 8) bit nervous but excited nonetheless!
All judgements, suggestions, training ideas or if you have any general questions about epilepsy, I’m happy to explain how it works / feels and repercussions of seizures.
First post, thanks guys.
