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.
 
What do you want again?
I just need help/ suggestions that will help rather than hurt, exercises, stretches just to generally keep me fit and a few basic questions like; would it be worth trying to build muscle pre surgery, how long it’s going to heal for a full shoulder recon and I don’t know, just how other people coped with feeling trapped essentially; in terms of seeing your partner go to work, can’t do things you used to enjoy like swimming at the beach for example
 
Have you tried learning to code?

Also maybe try to invent a better way to get ptfe tape on pipes... that's a million dollar idea there.
 
You kind of sound like a moron, but that's expected from someone who was taken away from their home at 15. If you can still move your shoulder but not lift with it, try running. Other than that, buying cheaper hamburger and pork to get enough protein is good for working out. Make sure to add veggies and greens. Spring mix or spinach goes well with most stuff.

Yeah dumb for sure. All these nigs are out here treating tendon and ligament injuries like they're just a minor nuisance when I'm pretty sure pulling/tearing a ligament or dislocating a joint is actually worse than straight up breaking a bone. A broken bone will eventually fully heal if you set it, meanwhile if you fuck up a joint it will be weak and prone to repeat dislocation for the entire rest of your life.

Also your issue seems a little confused, there's mention of a shoulder, and then seizures, and antidepressants, and you're apparently british...sounds very challenging hopefully things turn out ok.
 
You share too much; this isn’t a therapy forum. So if I understand it you’re completely stupid, you cope with labor jobs a monkey can do, avoid education or training of any kind other than your 2 year stint as a carpenters apprentice but obviously it was all about the pay check because you haven’t gone out on your own and after 2 years you bloody well should have learned enough to do so and you were fired because you learned virtually nothing and can’t be trained.

That about sum it up?

I’ll wager your an accomplished gamer also.
 
Since you're apparently British judging by the way you type, my advice is going to be to kill yourself. Either that or deposit your social security from the government into stake.com and triple chuck that bitch until you're a millionaire and can buy whatever luxuries the UK has to offer (none)
