Well done on being honest with your parents Trevor. Even if they don’t quite understand they are a support system and it sounds like they are offering help.
Not one of us can do this alone. Get thee to an inpatient program and dive in. You have been such a cool person to get to know on here. Help yourself and let others help you.
I’m struggling with cravings right now. I’m so early into the beginning of my recovery that I forget what this is like. I still feel sick. I still really can’t eat I have to force it. Luckily my therapist called me because she was worried I miss my appointment and she is trying to look up resources to help me. I’m waiting on a call back. I’m grateful for everyone who reached out and Is supporting me. I think I’m going to be OK. I hope I can sleep tonight. God help me
I’m praying for you. You are a strong young man, Trevor. You can beat this.
I’m so emotional right now. I thought I was doing better I thought it was through the worst of it. But everything hit me like a ton of bricks recently in the last day or so. It’s like the hard parts over the physical withdrawal Is over… But the emotional pain is lingering. Thank you for Responding and sending courage. I hope I’m gonna be OK
Are you gonna go to treatment?
Yes I think this is the only option. I’m willing to Except help. I’m waiting for my therapist to call back and I think I’m going to be completely honest with her then I’m pretty scared for my life right now. If I go back to these pills it’s a death sentence. I want to live. But I just don’t want to feel this bad. Thank you for the motivation to reach out. I hear where you’re coming from. And I think you
I can imagine your body and mind trying to right the ship, so to speak. I saw my son go through withdrawals and it was like you describe.
Do your best and get through this phase. It isn’t forever, you have so much life to live, my friend!
We are all here sitting with you and holding your hand.
I’m going back to the hospital. I don’t feel good right now. I’m going to have somebody pick me up to take me.
I want you to come out the other side…no matter how you get there. Glad to hear you doing what you need to do
I’m in the back of a cop car. They are being kind with me. God help me
Not the first time I had handcuffs… I understand they are looking out, they mean well
hey pal what happened and what is happening now?
hope you’re ok w the detox. thinking of you, man.
My therapist called me and she was concerned about my mental health so she did a wellness check on me and sent a police officer to my house they had to take me to the hospital. I thought I was going to end up in the psych ward but they sent me home after eight hours. To be honest I thought I was feeling better but I don’t feel that great right now… I’m being stubborn but there is a 30 day program that I qualify for that I think I need to go to. I’m just hesitating to make the call. I don’t know why. I appreciate checking up on me. Really the only lingering detox symptom is going back from hot to cold from hot to cold. It’s really frustrating. And I’m still struggling with my appetite and have to force it.
Trevor, please take the offer of the 30 day program. It’s really what you need right now. Take all the help you can get my friend. You’re life is on the line. You go back to those pills and it’s over. Sending you strength and love to make the right decision.
That 30 day program sounds like exactly what you need! Did you make the call yet?
Also @Lisa07 I made the call … I’m waiting for a bed to open up. The way it works is somebody has to either leave or get kicked out and right now they don’t have any beds available. But I’m basically on a waiting list. Not sure if it’s happening today but I’m really grateful for you guys motivating me to make the call… It was almost a good thing to be honest and post about the 30 day program because it made me make the call. Thank you guys. Just trying to get through today while I can and enjoy the little bit of freedom while I have it. What I mean about the freedom is enjoy my phone while I have it. No music for 30 days plus. Also another good thing is it will give me a chance to quit smoking cigarettes. There’s definitely some positives along with the negatives
Also I think I’m still feeling bad because I’m quite possibly withdrawing off my bipolar medication. I ran out of it and I don’t have any resources to get anymore. Also my anxiety medication. I didn’t factor this in but I think possibly this is why I’m still feeling bad even after eight or nine days I think that’s how many days I have. Everything is a blur right now. I managed to find eight dollars in one of my Jean pockets And did the right thing and bought some food. I bought some fixings to make cold cuts. For some reason it’s the only thing that Makes sense to eat
The 30 day program will be a really good thing.
I’m trying to see it that way. I hear you.
