anyone else taking this shit?

Also why do I get migraines when I forget to take it?

Twice diagnosed severe PTSD here, have a few other disorders that stem from it.

I wish opioids weren't so hard to obtain and expensive, they're literally the only thing that's had success in calming me.

That's because in North America, most (read: almost all) opioids are still considered a drug. A drug you can get blitzed off of if you take more than the recommended amount.

Used to think I was depressed since I had every sign of it. Never was. Took a bunch of anti-depressants but nothing ever happened

Because of that I refuse to take any medication that might help with my social anxiety but therapy doesn't seem to cut it

Oh, I know about that (especially since that's the only reason it's sold on the street), but I wish it weren't the case.

I take one 5mg and I'm good for 2 hours which is enough to bring me out of an "impending doom" phase. Meanwhile, anti-depressants they normally prescribe for PTSD just make me far more confrontational.

Borderline personlity disorder here

>opioids are still considered a drug
That's because it is Lord Fucktard. You mean it's considered an illegal narcotic.

But where does it end????

I'm pretty awesomely unwell. It's like fun until it's not. Have major depressive disorder and a good butt load of anxiety. Have been medicated for 9 years.

Life has done some out of my control shitting in the last couple years. So I help it along will self medication in the form of copious amounts of coke and alcohol.

It's not fun ever. Well when I first get high it's pretty good. But I live a good life. Definitely privileged. But I never stop feeling like I'm suffering and trapped. Wish I could an hero so bad but Im a very selfless person. So I don't. I suffer for them.

I try and do the right things to help myself get better. And I do for a bit. And then the littlest thing ruins me.

Kind of feel like this might be life long unless I figure out something that really works for me. Dumb brain.

Would talk if you want to. I'm rather knowledgeable about mental illness and life.

Reporting in!

On 3 different meds 2 times a day. A lot of pills, but not as many as my dad is on (war veteran).

Life sucks! It really does. Girls don't like you when you have biploar disorder, depression. The anxiety makes any relationship not work.

Relationships are things people need. We need to be hugged by somebody else to feel good, and I have nobody.

The anxiety keeps me from answering my phone, texts, emails.

I've spent about 3 months in the hospital in my 20s for suicide attempts.

But I am a male, and nearing 30, so people tend to stop caring about people like me at this time.

Interested! This is like group.

I feel the same way! I first started my meds when I was 14 in the year 2000. I've been on and off for years, but have been on them every day since 2009.

It's a journey. There's good and bad.

It is tough. Not a lot of people know that there's actual physical pain in the chest when feeling bad. They just think we're whining. Who wants to sit around and feel bad? We'd LOVE to be able to get up, do things we love, have a good life, and just be happy!

Let's feel good, okay?

Why take my meds?
They won't make my life better, just make me feel less shit about my shit life, and all that'll do is make me live longer, I don't want that.

I felt like what you wrote yesterday and today. I went off meds for depression and anxiety about a year ago so that I could try alternative therapies. It did not work out. I feel like I need meds so I don't get out of control, but I don't see it as it helping my life get better. Just feeling less bad about it. Some folks think life is too short. I find it exhaustively long.

Paroxetine, Bupropione and Ritaline for now. Did Lithium for some time but I was getting lazy as fuck.

I've been off my antidepressants for 6 months and have been self medicating by smoking weed every day

It barely helps and I wanna die still

I have alot of baggage and shit from a girl and my life. I dont want to take pills and I dont feel like having to see the face of a therapist. Who can I rattle off the crazy to without fear of repercussions? The #shut-in-network sucks compared to a good old fashioned small community that isnt spam
