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.
