What was the most stressful time of your life.

The last few years have been stressful for me. Since I have been the sole provider my wife has lupus and then had breast cancer. Then the cancer spread to the lining of her lung. Now she is cancer free but the lupus is never gonna go away and it causes her to have seizures and always fatigue. So that puts a lot on my plate since we have 4 kids.

 
most stressful time in my life was when I entered senior year with 105 credits. I was at a continuation school, I was surrounded by nothing but negative attitudes. it was a ******* **** hole there. said to myself I wanna graduate from a regular high school. in the middle of the year I did just that. entered the new school with no friends, no intentions of graduating because they required 220 to graduate. well I stayed up day and night doing nothing but hw and extra credit assignments. fell asleep with the pencil in my hand a couple times. the amount of work was so overwhelming I became anti social, and got hospitalized twice for panic attacks. still have my prescription of Ativan in the cabinet. never took a single pill, I wanted to deal with this without having to rely on medication. needless to say I have all the credits I needed a week before graduation day. had to do breathing techniques the whole time I was on the stage in order to not pass out. after it was all over a huge wave of depression hit me. school was done, I remember my first day of it. and a couple of other things that I don't wanna talk about 2013 was a rough year for me
Good job man!

Stay strong. I dont know what to say really. Wish i was rich, id help out :/

 
Thanks bro I appreciate that. We just take it day by day. Just when you think you have it bad someone else has it worse so you make the best of everything. Certain things happen and it just makes u appreciate the good things in life that we have!!!!!

 
My (normally mellow and intelligent) dad went bat-sh1t crazy due to ICU psychosis following a heart valve replacement & double bypass. He was full on hallucinating and violent - tried ripping out his IVs and tried running out of the hospital - they had to strap him to bed for a while. I freaked out - it was so out of character for him. Took him a long time to recover and to this day he still believes some of the hallucinations were real (nurses wearing a clown masks, people having *** in his hospital room, secret service agents taking over the ICU floor, and other weird stuff.
my uncle went into a 17 hour surgery to fuse his whole spine and he went through that icu psychosis almost killed the nurses and doctors. ripped his ivs out and thrashed his body all around only 2 hours after he woke up and fresh rods and pins in his back. needless to say almost caused him to be paralyzed and had to put him under few days after to re do some rods that he ripped right out.

 
I can relate to this, my trucks been at the shop going on a month now, im gna be so happy once I see it running again. havnt drove it since december

It's stressful having your truck in the shop getting a new wall built. Going on two weeks I've been missing my truck. My truck is like my 2nd child.

Having a wall built for you. Man...Whats the fun in even having a wall at that point? "So and So shop built my wall, Cool huh". I couldnt respect that.. :/

 
LOL hey some ppl dont have the time or simply cant do it as good as guys who specialize in that

Seems like the fun of the sport to do it yourself. Having a wall made is like paying someone else to train and play football for you. If you paid someone else to do it and Teach you along the way. that'd be different but its the same to me as some kid with a fast car he put in the shop and they did all the work and he doesnt even know the compression ration or camber on his own tires. Hes just a schmuck.

Im not trying to put you down. its just...meh to me.

 
nah bro I know what your talking about, I myself like to do all my work on my own and learn on my own by doing research, and knowing my system from the alt to the enclosure. I know it on a small scale, and now learning on a bigger scale, since 2 4500s and 4 18s is taking place of the old 2400rms set up

I built my last wall by myself. Turned out pretty good. Now I'm paying for a show quility wall. Something I could never build myself because I don't have the tools. Lots of ppl have shops build them nice stuff. Look at cscstang, he builds ppl boxes all the time and I don't see ppl giving him ****. Not everyone has a full blown wood working shop with all the proper tools, and not everyone is a master wood worker. It's not as easy as u think to build a huge cpillar wall over the wheel wells and build it super stong! But since your talking **** POST UP YOUR BUILDS YOU HAVE DONE... I'm waiting for your awesome 155db+ show quility build pics. Oh wait u run a single 12" woofer. My electrical system cost more then your whole system.

Ps. I've installed everything in my truck by myself. Prly two-three times. I've prly done more installs then you will ever do.
