Over the past year or so, I've experienced some very disturbing symptoms. I have talked to several doctors and as soon as they hear "alcoholic/addict" they go completely deaf. Now hear me out: I am indeed an alcoholic/addict BUT I am OFF heroin and meth, I smoke a little weed, and until recently was drinking only 2 or 3 beers a night. Pure willpower. Despite living a relatively healthy lifestyle, I am experiencing the following (in order of severity):
suicidal depression
extreme fatigue
anxiety attacks
joint pain
headaches
nausea
Should I just lie to the next doc I see? Tell them "naw, I never did that stuff and don't associate with them that do."
BIG issue here is that I am poor and don't have insurance. At my wit's end. Ready to just die and be done with it.
BTW, I have done the 12 Step thing and it was moderately helpful, but not much. Also, the shrinks I've seen are just as bad as the other docs.
Please help.
Peace&Love,
jasper
