I was _ this close to choking someone and going BACK to jail today. So I just walked off the job. I was so infuriated, I ripped the Oh shit bar right off the dash of an 06 chevy truck with my bare hands. My boss wasn't too thrilled about that. Yet, the reason why has nothing to do with anyone.

For the past 2 weeks I have had this pain in my left ear 24 hours a day. It is worse when I lay on my RIGHT side at night, with my left ear sticking in the air. It throbs at night big time, but I just fight through that shit. And because of this pain, I have been subconsciously biting down on my teeth so much, that I can not open my mouth enough to eat a banana. It hurts just to open my mouth to eat. I just realized all of this yesterday. Between my job, side work, and maintaining my fleet I just forget sometimes about ME. I've been really busy and between slinging diesel fuel, filters, rust and grease around I must have gotten something foreign in my ear.

I don't want to go to the hospital because I KNOW they will tell me I need surgery.

You may say, WTF does any of this have to do with mental health? Well, if you think hard enough it is plainly clear I am not right in the head.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Well let me tell you my little story...about 5 years ago i started feeling really shity... i new somethign was not right but did not want to go to hospital as no insurance no money kinda thing... and i thought i had throat cancer as i was having lota problems with limpnoids swelling up.. then i got a staph infection on my back then i got one on my neck.... I was in middle of building my garage and new if i went to dr i would be put in hospital and told i got cancer or something.. Well i finaly went to ER and after the 3rd time they could not even tell me what was wrong with me so I went to health dep to get tested for all kinda things.. I was told i had HIV and had atleast 8-10 years for it to have progressed as far as it has... I was given a aintibiotic for staph and that turns out im alergic to and that did more damage to my body then the hiv has... My advice go to the fucking Hospital ASAP.. i could have saved myself alot of grief pain and perment damage to my body if i had gone a few years earlyer when i was feeling like shit and got tested for everything...Good thing is I will die with it... Not from it....

Thanks for sharing Hommer.

That is why I won't go to a hospital, if I am dieing/have a tumor, I'd rather die at home than in a hospital.

I have ZERO trust or faith in the healthcare system, just like the judicial system or the automotive industry I TRUST NO ONE.

Are you kidding me? Go to the hospital, stop being an idiot. You could just have a piece of metal in there causing an infection, right now it could be easily removable, put it off and you might go deaf. Never know. You completely missed the point of Greg's story.

Everyone's opinion is going to be get your stubborn ass to the hospital, it might save your hearing or even your life, depending on what is. It's your life man, but there is no need to waste it because you were too stubborn to go to the doctor.

Sometimes its a good thing to be stubborn, but on something that may cause you to go deaf or even die....I would say bite the bullet and go to the fuckin hospital.

Buddy, I think you have answered your own question. If you know you are being stupid, why not bite the bullet and go to the doctor. Like the others have said something simple, untreated, can turn into something major. :slap:

My guess is it's something simple. I had pains similar to what you described and had no idea what they were... just went about my merry way, dealt with the pain when it came, and did nothing for it.

You pretty much answered whats going on... gritting your teeth, pain behind your ear... it SOUNDS like something with your temporomandibular joints(TMJ). When I'm stressed out, which is often now that I'm 2 weeks from closing on a house and 4 weeks-ish from my wife giving birth, I grind my teeth at night. Grind them like CRAZY. Crazy like my teeth are basically flat and are always sore. Getting my wisdom teeth removed helped out tremendously.

Dude, if, and I seriously doubt, you had something chronic like cancer, you dont HAVE to have it treated. You have options in EVERYTHING regarding your healthcare. Go get it checked out, get the docs opinion and do something about it.

Sound familiar?

Yeah I get that alot, until I choke or throw a metal object at their face. Not many people have the balls to say that to my face and not be joking. The rest had a mandatory visit to the hospital and I got hauled off to jail.

The point is I really don't give a fuck, about my health or life in general. I've been to prison. I know what rock bottom, not having a pot to piss in, homeless is so spare me.

Let's see get a few nice cars, fuck a few nice bitches, yep I'm done. Getting old and having kids is for suckers.
