One of my favourite threads at the now-dead Maintitles.net board (the primary model for this messageboard) was a thread where we could vent freely about things going on in our personal lives. All the bad stuff, in particular. If one wants, of course.
Suffice to say it’s been two terrible months in my life, which is why I haven’t posted much on any of the messageboards I frequent. The increased tinnitus, as previously mentioned, along with other health issues. An uncle of mine died two days ago. I had to identify the body with my dad, which was a harrowing experience. Monetary issues. And a few other things.
One tries to push through and do one’s job nonetheless, but it’s difficult.
Anyways, now the thread is here for anyone who wants to vent about anything. Can’t wait to post more upbeat stuff in the “holiday thread” soon.
Hi Thor,
sad to hear, that things weren’t going too well for you in the past month.
And sorry for your loss.For a few minutes I started writing here something.
But then I thought, I don’t want to depress people and deleted it.Thank you!

But then I thought, I don’t want to depress people and deleted it.Don’t feel that way! That’s what this thread is for. Here is a good example of a thread I had in mind at Maintitles, which I found really therapeutic.
Very sorry to hear about those bad times besides that already awful tinnitus. I personally will generally not post about such things in public.
Sad to hear about the tinnitus Thor. Sure hope you have some useful remedies to alleviate the stress.
Wrong topic to say all is well? I’m off to Risør shortly, for the chamber music festival. Looking forward to “getting away”, even if it’s only for a few hours.
Sorry to hear about the worsening of your tinnitus, Thor.
I’ve had a fairly shit past two years. My mum died in September 2023 and I was constantly jetting back and forthe between Spain and Scotland. Thankfully my brother is in Scotland and he could do a lot of the funeral arrangements. I was with her when she died. It was terrible. No sense of peace, just terror in her eyes. I was alone with her then. My brother couldn’t come to the hospital as he was really ill with Covid. I also saw my dad die, in 1982. I think about my parents every day.
The day my mum died, I started seeing lots of flashing lights at the corners of my eyes, and swarms of flies. In the morning I was in the Emergency bit of the hospital, where I was told I was in danger of having a detached retina. Then I went upstairs and watched my mum die.
Since then I’ve lost 10 kilos in weight. I had diarrhoea for nearly two years, but it’s getting a bit better now. I think it’s all down to nerves.
Are you sorry you asked?
No, I’m not sorry I asked.
Sounds like a terrible time, Graham. You have my heartfelt sympathies. I hope, however, that you’re starting to get on top of things now and have some sort of normal everyday life.
Thanks Thor. Yes, we get over everything. I’m a grandad now! Taking the baby out for a lunchtime beer tomorrow!
