See, I'm not a drug addict. I don't consider myself that. I do use drugs. I smoke pot. I'll do pills sometimes. But I take mya dderall as prescribed, and I know that it affects dopamine, and taking it constantly has made it to where I don't feel pleasure unless I take my adderall or some other drug. And that's with taking it as prescribed. Once it wears off I'm insanely nervous. Paranoid. Depressed. Suicidal. I hate it, but I'm afraid to metnion it to my doc, cause I dont' want to be on anti depressants, been there done that, they fucked me up in a bad way. Idk what to do, honestly.
I usually run out of adderall early cause I need money, and then I don't have enough money to fill my script. Its a shitty cycle.
I do need to stop judging myself though, and caring so mucha bout what people think of me.. and believing the paranoia which was stuffed into my brain as a child.
That alone is the source of half my issues, aside from the amphetamine withdrawal.

Sometimes I wish I had the lack of control to nto care, adn just solve my problem once and for all. Instead, I chose to stick a needle in my arm, draw my blood and write with it (Ive done that for awhile, nothing unusual) but I was drunk and did it too hard, so I have a huge bruise that isn't even a legit track mark cause I wasn't injecting shit, to hide, while searching for jobs. Not a huge issue, since its winter, thank god.

My advice to you; try to not take Adderall daily. Eventually you will feel better without it.

Also it's not good to unnecessarily draw blood out of your veins; it creates more work for your body to do.
 
i have not felt this close to "fuck it all" ever or so long ago i can no longer remember. i feel trapped in a prison i built. i gave and gave and gave through my work and there's nothing left over for me to make a life for me.

i have isolated myself because i'm too exhausted to deal w/ social bullshit and ppl only want to show me some fucking lump, bump, or rash or ask me to diagnose their ass ache of the moment.
it just aggravates me more cuz nursing is my job and not a 24/7 continuous hobby i just can't get enough of. so i stay away from social events.

i'm so exhausted. the last time i can remember a break from routine, a real break, was in 1993. i had surgery and was in hospital for 3 days. i didn't have to cook anything, clean anything, wipe anyone's nose or ass.
i'm angry at myself and i can't see any way to get out of the trap i feel stuck in.
i just don't care anymore. i'm old and tired and i'm sick of battling in a war that has no end. i just can not keep running as fast as i can cuz i don't even know why i'm doing it.
i see no other way to stop this pointless endless round and round except to pull the trigger.

Izzy, you can't take a day or two off for yourself? No one can cover a shift or two for you?

It sounds like you are a really productive worker and you put a lot of yourself in your work. I can tell how stressful this can be.

I have enjoyed your posts around Bluelight so I hope you stay with us! Feel free to PM me if you would like to. :)
 
Well, I haven't taken adderall for 3 days...I feel a little better. The withdrawal has eased a bit. I'm thinking of taking one of my doses today, unsure, I don't want to start the cycle all over y'know. I have to start picking up what I fucked of my life when I went a little insane. Aka find a job & money in the next month so I can pay my phone, etc
 
I'm starting to fall back into my "Fuck it" mindset again. I just want to destroy everything around me and watch the world burn.

Is that wrong?

I would hold off a bit longer, and then I would be careful to only take Adderall maybe one a week or so, so that you don't have a nasty crash any more. I know exactly what you mean when you say you don't want to start the cycle all over again.

I am really glad to hear you are feeling better though! :)

It depends on the specific scenario you are in, since what you described could easily cover, in separate situations, both a hero, or a villain.

+1 straight up. I know them adderall comedowns, they are HELL and give you that feelin "I don't want to live anymore, whats the point of life?" comedown. Horrible. I got dependent to weed so the comedowns from adderall werent so bad.
 
I wanted to hurt myself tonight, and have fantasized about dying for hours. i don't have much to add, but reading this thread has helped me...im hoping that 5+mg of xanax and some weed will knokc me out enoguht where ill just feel better tomorrow...thanks for this thread, so much

appreciate it, C.H.
i'm just exhausted. i've been on leave for a little while and have to make a decision really soon about what's next.
yes, the work itself is stressful but direct patient care has never bothered me. but i am burned out on all the grief and sadness i see families go through, burned out on the frequent fliers we see again and again, just burned out in general.
but it really gets to me when ppl assume i'm never off duty, always ready to listen to a long litany of family and personal medical problem, past and current.
ppl don't ever see "me"; they totally define me by my job.

frustration, burn out, and crushing fatigue.
i have a dr appt this week, will get my thyroid rechecked. maybe i just need a diff Rx for that. it's unlike me to be so pessimistic and "close to the edge."
thanks. i appreciate the support :)

I can easily see what you mean, from what many people have told me like yourself, there are a lot of factors leading to the burnout you describe.

If anything, think about if your life is feasible without working. If I were in your shoes, I would want to go back to work, but I would want to be happy doing it. If I felt I needed a longer break, I would simply take it. :)

Keep in mind this is coming from someone who hasn't worked (a full time job).... in years. Maybe my advice isn't good if you're busy trying to pay down a mortgage or if you have kids to support... but I think it's important to take care of your soul just as much as your body/mind.

Even if your job is pressuring you to resume working, can't you describe your stress to your doctor and you can get a doctor's note? That will at least buy you some more time to take a breather and figure out what you want for you.

luckily the kid is grown and the mortgage is paid off. paying COBRA for insurance is a big expense but my needs are few and i can squeeze a lot out of a dollar. my work would rather give me the time i need than have me just quit. i'll prob go back in january until spring then move back to new england. i'm past due for some major changes and change isn't always an easy thing even when it's wanted.
