Yep, it took going for a private place for diagnosis since the waiting list for the NHS for mental health anything is so long so it is a big relief. It'll be even bigger once I'm on meds and can actually function too.
Doing pretty good now, just finally got it confirmed that I have ADHD which is a big relief to know since it means I can be put on medication in the next month or so.
Pretty mixed, feel weirdly restless all the time since I dropped my medication at the end of the week before last week. Got a new vape which is keeping me company at least, a nice E-Elev8R ball vape. Kind of terrifying dealing with the red hot glowing metal heating as it gets up to temperature though.
Doing OK in general except for the start of this week, no problem with assuming, you're likely right anyway if you're thinking about opiate addiction. Cravings suck but are bareable for now at least.
Eh kinda shitty, one of my main medications (Subutex) dropped dosage again this week and it suddenly felt like I've been hit with a brick, emotionally speaking at least, bored as hell, tired, no real desire to eat or do anything, etc. I'm close to being done with this medication but the last parts like getting off it at the very end are the hardest.
It's not stretched that much, in my experience it's just the way they've broken up the series for animation that makes it feel longer than it really is, since they spend so much time inbetween each cour.
6 months clean from Heroin in a few days at 20y.o, (second go round) so I guess that. I've done practically every other non trash-tier drug there is to some degree. Opiates are the best until one day they're suddenly the worst, and the day always cometh. I'm just glad I got out as early (relative to others) as I did.
The fact that anyone is even considering blocking the sun out on a global scale at all is insane. First the EU, now the US, I can only hope they realize it's also incredibly stupid in practice with current tech, even as far as climate denialism goes.
I've been playing it a bunch since the big 1.4.4 patch, it's crazy how much work the devs have put it to polish this game into a cheap but high quality game gem over the years.
Exactly, harm reduction is the main game, with prevention (just not having people get addicted to start) being the ideal worked toward these days in most if not all competent drug rehabitlitation programs. And thanks, heroin is a monster, you slide into it so easily and then suddenly youâre a year later screaming in agony across your whole body, depressed, anxious, cold and hot, and all of that disappears with a single line of that shit. So I am damn glad I don't have that happening every month anymore.
And also potential ADHD haver here (diagnosis appointments are set for next month), proper structure of paragraphs and sentences makes everything read so much easier for me too.
I can read quick and you put it in proper paragraphs so it wasn't a pain to read.
Yes they're normal, you're just trying to judge who you feel is most in need of what you can give.
If I have the money on me and can spare it then I'll do it, but that very rarely happens as I don't carry my wallet most of the time.
Personally my policy is to give them money even if they use it for drugs, as a former addict myself that money will keep them alive physically or mentally, and or both no matter what. And that is worth the short term damage of them potentially using it for drugs, it gives them another period of time (days, weeks, etc) to choose to change for the better. It's a very painful and embarassing thing to ask another person for money for drugs (subtly or non-subtly), very painful.
But it's better than resorting to theft or dying depending on what you're addicted to. Withdrawal is absolute hell and I would if the situation arose give an addict in active withdrawal money to get out of it without much hesitation.
