If you have a real strong positive mental attitude, like I believe rob actually has, you can psychologically counterbalance some very bad physiological/medical issues. A lot of your stamina to overcome both physical illness and depression will come from your sheer willpower to “not let it get to you.” I think rob has that mentality.
I told someone I know who was diagnosed with cancer that “A lot of it has to do with how you react and deal with it. A lot of it will depend upon your mental attitude.” I know.
Cobble, shoot a regular hand gun, I think a 9mm or maybe a 22. No way could I shoot a Kalashnikov at 9 years old lol. I could barely hold it up. It would definitely damage my shoulder if I tried to squeeze out a round. I had a hard time holding AK47 steady at my age while shooting when I went to gun ranges in Poconos.
This is late 80s we’re talking about. Not sure they do it now anymore.
We also had a sawing and crochet class BTW. We learned to make pillows in 1st grade as well so don’t think of it as some crazy military country. It was very accepted there. No one forced you into anything but knowledge to use your hands and physical labor was stressed as much as using your brain.
DIBS is probably right, but rob- trust us- all of us feel the same way at one time or another. Maybe therapy isn’t helpful to you in a one on one- how about finding a peer support group? Or take an art therapy class? Even volunteering could help- but most important for you I think, is to make some change in your life, break the routine. Not speaking out of my hat- been there, done that. All of us go to scary places in our lives at some point or another- just know you aren’t alone.
6years- thanks for posting that! Don’t they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same?
Wonton has some good points there, I’ve used Acupuncture and other Chinese medicine techniques. They can be very successful and helpful.
On that note, I also have a friend that has managed prostate cancer using Chinese medicine and his regular doctor is surprised and very pleased with the results, to date. [It’s ongoing.]

“alcohol is a drug”
haha – fine. Heroin, Crystal Meth, Coke and Crack are bad
Sex is also a weapon.

So the gathering on the 6th will be a bday festival for the aging members & a rebirth celebration for Rob.
