I get horrible emotional problems in withdrawal. I took 30mg IR yesterday and passed out because I was already on so much baclofen and klonopin. I didn't take anything for around 16 hours after that, though. I can't control any of my emotions, I have angers outbursts (punched a hole through a cupboard, beat the shit out of pillows, that kinda stuff just never people, I am much more likely to hurt myself) and then I'll be depressed... but I'm borderline which is often misdiagnosed as bipolar (the mood swings are much more frequent, like within day or even a few hours I frequently experience multiple intense emotions) so anyways, I am not just treating chronic pain with the opioids even though that's the one thing I actually need them for, to continue surviving as a human being. However, the opioids also numb my emotions which I am really not pushing away from. I hate my life and the way I usually feel. Also, I lost my initiative and self motivation when I became sick. I used to be the kid who got 99%'s in science in high school so that was really disappointing. Opioids give me all my old energy back... my vital forces feel like I have never been more alive. It's weird, they are supposed to be sedatives, although I guess that's what I need. I like benzos, hash, opioids, dmt (most sedating/immersive psychedelic) and not much else haha.
I hate how the first dose always has to be a pass out and I miss the high/ period of functionality because I just need the sleep so bad. In this case, I believe my back hurt too much. My memory is a haze, I want to stop taking balclofen but won't until I get off this shit or back on. It's been like 16 hours since then and I haven't taken anything though but I think that brought yesterday's tally to 60mg. I can't really do 40mg or this at all. It's just awful those symptoms.
Anyways, in the middle of my taper I am deciding to IV hydromorphone. I got wheel filters and a bunch of 2mg pills and 3ml syringes with 25g tips. Otherwise, I am going to run out early so it had to be done. It's safer in my opinion (these days, with fentanyl analogues out there) than sniffing heroin. I used to do a lot of dope before I heard about that, now I'll never do it again unless it's absolutely necessary. So anyways... that's not normal to change your mind in the blink of an eye. That is a borderline thing that I believe is known as splitting. Since I don't identify with a personality and also since I have lost touch with the conventional 'reality' in which normal people experience life - being much more spaced out now - it's easier for me to cross boundaries.
So today I just had breakfast and took 20mg IR. According to my taper it should be 10mg but I find taking higher doses less frequently is better because I can actually function for a couple hours and take care of cleaning and hygiene. I have to shower and shave. I mean, those are just things that I do as a man. I haven't in too long, and I won't have the energy to even do just that unless I take the extra amount. I should be okay taking extras, although I haven't injected the dilaudid yet. I'm hoping 2mg won't disappoint me, when I'm just specifically looking for relief from withdrawal. I don't really give a fuck about any of this rush people speak of, so I might even just do 1mg shots. It's hard for me to know in advance, but I do know that 2mg is nowhere near an OD for someone like me. It's just another thing to learn, something to keep my tortured mind preoccupied. I wish my doctor would just give me four 20mg IR oxy pills a day, along with two 20 or 40mg oxycontin pills to take 12 hours apart untampered (NOT tamper-proof worthlessness, I'm not a child)
One thing I am seriously concerned about is that all the laying around may lead to apoptosis. If you don't use neural connections, they get pruned. So I'm worried that I will actually become dumber from not using my brain for so long. I can only use it on pills, if I want to read a book or anything like that. The ability to do anything at all cognitive apart from experiencing a shitty, boring life has been stolen from me - unless I'm on the fucking pills.
