Unfortunately, he passed away. Only 50. Shits devastating.

- Still not feeling good but I now have answers. My cortisol levels are low and am almost in Adrenal crisis. I went to work today and I was sent home. I was told to go straight to the pharmacy and start the meds right away or I could end up in a coma. Nothing like scaring me to death. It does explain all my symptoms Iāve been having. I am trying to stay positive but Iām home in bed again like I have been for the past 2 weeks. My main worry is whatās nextā¦I have another specialist to see. I will get through this I have faith. Happy Friday Sober fam. Hope you all have a great weekend

Way to go Graham!!
300 days 
Hi Chad,
I can relate to your pain. In December my mother had her non-palliative medicine withdrawn and lasted a week. Strangely she had appeared in a dream very strongly and told me when she had decided to die while she was still lucid. She got it right! Her guiding spirit appeared to her disguised as a doppelganger of me as she was convinced I was in her house and had to go round looking. That may all be nonsense or co-incidence but my regret is that my sister set herself up as power of attorney and would not let her die at home as she wished. She expressed her wish to go home to me and I said she had the mental capacity to override the power of attorney but my sister is very controlling and I had no legal right to challenge that according to her solicitor. I could rant for hours on that but I really just wanted to say I know how sad it is when someone is at the end of their and there is nothing you can do about it. I also stole morphine from him but always ensured he had enough, repeat scripts seemed quite easy to get then. Thatās in the past for both you and I. I hope your uncle is comfortable and passes peacefully. My thoughts are with you.

Day something.
Falling apart. Raw. Sad. So very sorry and sad about everything.
Sometimes,
the person I need the most, whose love Iām craving like crazyā¦ is ME!
Tonight Iāve seen a glimpse of the importance of loving yourself with love that is patient, kind, compassionate and unconditional.

Days donāt really get better.
I suppose that there is a spectrum, from functioning pretty well, all the way through to being so depressed that I find it hard to do my work.
Of course, working 7 days a week provides me with a good place to run and hide from the world. Itās just as well that I work / live alone. I canāt imagine that ANYONE would want to be around a perpetually depressed person. Even Iām sick of myselfā¦ not that thatās anything new.

I thought we had a thread somewhere for positive news as a counterweight to all the sh*t in the world. Canāt find it. So I put it here: Yesterday over here a truck driver saw a person that was about to jump from an overpass on to a busy highway. Truck driver stops his truck, against the flow of traffic, right under the overpass the moment the person jumped. Person lands on roof of truck. No serious injuries.

Well i donāt want to talk poorly about the program and it may just be my current experience with my sponsor. I just feel that there is a lot of drudging up of the past that I personally feel may be better done with a therapist. I do like the meetings and prayer though. I just feel a bit confused at the moment.

@anon27700620. Iām sorry to hear that. Truly. Battling addiction and depression is a double whammy. And as the numbers show ā so often hand in hand. I see you have been on the site for quite a while. And I hope you have made connections here that make you feel better. And people here do want to be around a perpetually depressed person. No judging it seems. I hope better for you!! And Iām glad you are here.
