    Got word last night, my mom went for her dialysis treatment and five minutes into it she flatlined. She was down for 20 minutes and now she's in a medically induced coma. I'm pretty messed up about this. I only started getting to know her 16 years ago as the first half of my life I lived with my abusive father. I'm only starting to be able to articulate my true emotions and I've never connected with her emotionally. Due to my adhd and trust issues from childhood abuse. I just know I'm going to lose her before I can tell her what she means to me and how much I love her.
    I don't think I'm going to relapse to pmo but I've been having a fuck of a time with my head. Just hoping for some people to check on me over the next few days and make sure I'm not finding some fucked up escape from this pain. I don't trust my own mind.

    I'm really, really sorry that your mum is so dangerously ill. Is she local? Can you go and be with her physically? Even though she is in a coma, she may be able to hear, so you could hold her hand and speak to her of your love and regret. please keep us updated of the situation, you are not alone in your suffering. I offer my prayers and good thoughts for you and your mum.

    Talk whatever you want right now. Better tell her that you love her now that she's unconscious than when she's in a coffin. I don't see a correlation between feel better and fap. Some days ago a guy posted about his father dying and he wanted to fap, I was like... what?

    It will be painful and difficult times, but don't make it worse fapping. Instead, fill your head with a book, a hobby, remember good moments with your mother, have your share of grief and move on life.

    Im sorry for the pain u feel right now and for your mom's health. I would suggest go spend time with her even though she's in a coma, she can or cannot hear what you have to say but tell her the things u need to say before she goes. Stay strong brotha.

    I do understand partly what you are going through as I lost my mom earlier this year. My brother was estranged from her prior to the last day she was alive and although he didn't express many emotions when he did see her, she loved him all the same and he just being there meant the world to her. You mom loves you because she is your mom! Talk to her even though she is in a coma, regardless of whether or not you know she can hear you because she does hear you and it is so important for allow her to hear and know your presence.

    Whatever you need from us... you have it!

    Hey man. That's really awful. I'm sorry for you :( Maybe like the others said try and spend time with her and tell her how you feel, even though she probably won't be able to hear you. But I've heard about people in comas who've heard everything that's been said around them, so I don't know. Try to hold you head up and best of luck mate. Talk to us here anytime you like :)

    That's the most revealing thing you've said, and the answer to your current turmoil.
    You can't trust your mind, any more than anybody else can.
    The only thing you have that is to be trusted, is your intuition.
    It's the only thing you have that has the best interests of the whole, at heart.

    Stop thinking. You'll help yourself, while doing all you can to help your mother.

    They still have her in the coma and will have to for another day before we know how bad it is.

    Loosing a mother is a terrible time. I was blessed to have had a good relationship with my mother, but there were still complicated moments, and it was difficult.
    I will amen what others are saying. In a coma, the body does not move, but often the patient hears everything. Positive peaceful messages seem to work best. Patient has little energy and stressful hyper activity is hard for them to cope with.
    An expression of love with a commitment to be there for her could help her keep fighting. When you are hurting, it is not easy to concentrate on what she might need.
    We'll be praying for her recovery, and that you can also hear her response to what you are communicating to her.
    It is never too early to tell your mother how much you love her. If you wait, it can be too late.

    Maybe you can write a letter to her. she may not be able to read it, but writing the letter can release your emotions.
    dont try to hold it back. release whatever emotions you are feeling. take care.

    How is she doing?
    Have you been able to visit her and tell her how you feel?
    I hope she is doing well.

    Thanks everyone for your well wishes. My mom came out of the coma but she's in a vegetative state and has been for days now. It's kind of looking like she's going to be disabled and possibly remain vegetative. Won't find out for sure until this afternoon. Kind of fucked up that I'll never be able to talk with her again. I'm also about to go bankrupt, (my adhd and addictions) and lose my house that I worked so hard for to buy. And my wife and I have been on the verge of splitting up for the last 8 months. Also I'm a love addict as well as a porn addict. I feel like the world is crumbling.

  19. Look man, the pain that feel right now is hard, I've never felt that before. However what I know is that there is no escape for pain. You can numb yourself by fapping or having an addiction but there is no escape. What I recommend to do is to.really feel the paint. Meditate on it.

    Again the quite from Brene Brown "When we numb the dark, we numb the light." Feel it and it will get better over time.

    We are here to support you and you can do this. "When you're going through hell, keep going." you can do this.

    Keep it up, and keep going!
