There was a thread on advice late at night once, and the poster said they had chest pains and was sweating profusely. Another poster said "take aspirin and ring for an ambulance". The poster did and it turned out he was having a major heart attack and had to have heart surgery. He posted back on here from his hospital bed!

I don't know what it is if I'm honest, things have just got to much for me. I was surprised to see this thread at the top of advice today of all days! Forget the don't give up hope, things get better advice I posted! It hasn't worked out at all. Things only get worse

It is a shame I know how you feel. From 6 years old 2 lads down my street were great at sports and always had the best due to this and then ended up millionaires.
This made me think why I never got that chance despite living on the same street. It's not like it was even they were nice people.
I don't often visit the advice forum, but once read a post from a girl who was having problems with her boyfriend. He had anxiety problems and had refused to see her for months, but at the same time kept texting her and telling her he loved her so she had no idea where she stood.
She seemed so confused that I felt compelled to reply. Given the sensitive nature of the subject, I ended up trying to give advice for not only her, but also for her boyfriend. I spent a ridiculously long time trying to craft the most well thought out response I could come up with, but in the end, I don't think she was particularly interested and just said something like "thanks, I'll keep that in mind" and that was that! I don't think there were many follow up posts from her, but at the very least someone else complimented the advice I gave, so I might actually have some use even if people don't always listen to it !
Always expect the unexpected - I was told this when learning to drive, and I still think about that when driving around.
Don't get your honey where you make your money - avoid relationships at your workplace.
If you wouldn't make her a wife, then don't make her a mother - for males everywhere.
As an 18 year old student nurse, worried that I hadn't said enough to comfort a grieving family, the best advice I have ever received was from my mentor, who told me "sometimes it's not about saying the right words; it's just about being there." It has stuck with me ever since and I think it will for the rest of my career.
Worst advice I've ever had was from my Dad. My BF and I were going on hols and on the morning we were due to fly I just happened to glance at the date on my passport (which I assumed was in date) to find it had expired a month ago. Flight was in three hours. I did what I always did in a crisis and phoned my dad. His advice? "Just go, love. They won't check it anyway." Luckily I got a second opinion from BF's mum and hot-footed it to the passport office. And made the flight
Repeating this to myself, along with "good enough is sometimes good enough", really helped me relax when I got myself in a tizz trying to be perfect and make things around me that weren't even in my control perfect.
Worst advice- try this, it's a vitamin tablet and really good for you (was some kind of psychedelic and I was being spiked).

Marie Curie's "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood."
Jules F was spot on. I also remember the post and was utterly gobsmacked at that particular pearl of Wisdom.
I believe this is the thread that is being referred to.

I don't really know if it's true but it's all that gets me through the days at the moment
Never knob the payroll
Given by a farmer when I was young and learning to milk a cow:-
"Cows are just like women...
If you grab their tits and they didn't see you coming - you'll get a kicking".
Excellent!
What is the matter?

Good comment.:D
And if it's up to your mouth - keep it shut.

My uncle got divorced 6 years later, obviously didn't listen to his father's advice! Silly sod
