Been fannying about with wood for as long as I've been touching my own bit of wood.

Made a lot of furniture in my own home and currently doing a kitchen from scratch. I'm not an "all the tools, no idea" kinda guy. Been surrounded by tradies most my life, the only parts that haven't stuck is mechanical. I can only just about tell you where the fuel goes in on that part.
I always had you down as a pen pushing tosser lol
Different view now.

Well, getting to this point meant accruing a lot of debt. It was supposed to be easily sailing from then on. It's anything but. Running a practice is like learning to juggle chainsaws in front of a live audience and the only training you've had was a three minute video watching cat videos on youtube. Not relevant and not helpful.

But going into the workshop, slap radio on (internet radio, can't stand adverts, small plug for di.fm) grab a slab of wood and literally have no idea what you're gonna do with it until you've finished. Sometimes you've got an idea, sometimes you're just stood grinding a bit of wood until all you've left is some dust to sweep up. Doesn't matter, I had a good time and it cleared the braincells for an hour or three.

I might snap out of it tomorrow, next week or next year. But, somethings amiss with me right now so till then. I've got a little treat I've been saving since I hurt my back falling off a ladder cleaning the gutters of all things. A big 'ol bottle of morphine.
The grass is always greener I suppose.

I've had 3 cans of frooty strongbow, 4 cans of Zubr, 2 cornettos, and 3 bags of wotsits this evening. Does anyone here think I might be filling some sort of void ...?

Oh and I'm watching the new episode of better call Saul for the second time right now! Anyone else watching?? It's AMAYZBALLZ
 
And Im going to take 25mg promethazine @chinup and I know for a fact I'll be asleep in 45min maximum and sleep all night. Ihave you ever tried it? Doctors throw it at you as well, cos it's not fun like benzos. Certainly makes me drowsy though!
i got prescribed it once and it didn't make me sleep and made my vision blurry (a lot of drugs do this), but i was a lot more fucked up neurologically then.

i'm genuinely not looking for fun. i'm looking to get enough sleep that i make it 24 hours without contemplating suicide.

Diazepam?

You know how I intrepreted that post you quoted by login.

You must remember Mugz saying he was going to whittle a walking stick out of a branch he found....

Do I have to explain more?
Oh how I laughed.
 
Seems I ate something yesterday just off enough to give me the shits but not to give me bad guts

Pretty good idea it was the dinner I got delivered. Oh well, had been feeling bloaty anyway!
 
@chinup

Mirtazapine has worked for me to help with my sleep for years. It is the only thing it does for me as it does zero for my anxiety or mood but it does help me sleep every night. It is quite a strongly sedating anti-histamine. It is prescribed off label for insomnia.

I started off on 30mg and have had to gradually work upwards to 45 due to tolerance over the course of several years. Many years later and I am now adding alcohol to the mix to help me sleep.

It will all come undone eventually but I have had many years of good sleep out of it so far.

YMMV of course
 
thanks @Bleaney - just read, it apparently increases the amount of deep sleep you get too. that is a big plus for me, i have a sleep app. i take it with a pinch of salt but there is definitely a correlation between the amount of deep sleep it thinks i've got and how tired i feel. been lucky to get an hour deep sleep a night recently, even when i'm not drinking (as alcohol definitely fucks it).

also, if its not abusable i'd feel less sus asking the GP for it.

i wouldn't wanna take it every night. did 16 years of no natural sleep, don't intend to do that again. just need literally a couple of decent nights sleep back to back so that i can actually do stuff beyond the bare minimum required for my existence.
 
No probs, it's definitely effective. Might be worth trying and see how you get on with it.

I'd never thought of taking it as and when, not sure how that would work, because on the off nights it would be doubly hard to sleep in my experience.

It's definitely not abusable, there is no buzz, you are either asleep, drowsy or awake. With nothing in between.
 
I think it would work on an as and when needed basis @chinup I've taken mirtazipine twice in my life and both times it gave me mad appetite increase then I slept 14hr.

Give it a go on a weekend if you do cos you'll be groggy as fuck when you eventually wake up. I was anyway.

Sporadic use of gaba drugs are probably making your insomnia worse. You might feel better after not using anything like zops or benzos for a while, including booze sadly, and then weaker stuff like promethazine may work better.

Although saying that I only tend to have bad insomnia for a week or so after I run out of benzos. I've vowed never to bulk buy benzos again cos it's trouble for me.

@blondin iirc you have spent some time in portugal? or is it someone else i'm thinking of?

anyway, i have had brutal insomnia pretty consistently for over a month now. its destroyng my life. i've already talked to dr and got a week script of zopis. helped a bit. my main issue though is waking up 4-5am and not being able to get back to sleep. i really want something that i can take at bed time that will actually help me get back to sleep if i wake up in the night. i.e. a longer acting GABA agonist.

going to lisbon in a few weeks. not planning on trying to get any serious drugs. but if the drug drecriminalisation means i could get something that would actually help (@F.U.B.A.R. suggested gabapentin) then i'll look into it, but would appreciate input from anyone who actually knows the situation over there.

JUST TO BE CLEAR I'M NOT SOURCING I'M GOING TO A COUNTRY WHERE DRUGS ARE DECREMINALISED AND ASKING FOR INF
Drugs are decriminalized in Portugal and Spain from a penal point of view, so nobody will put you in legal trouble, let alone send you to jail. That said, people do get administrativelly punished when in possesion, that means both countries will economically sanction you. In Spain it is like 400 euros fine and in Portugal about 200 or 250 in most cases (from 5000 escudos= 25 euros to the minimum nacional salary in 2000, being about 400 euros back then. Maybe you can Google translate lei=law n°30/2000) but you will be required to attend some form of program, being it a 12 step thing or any other, or/ and do some kind of social work. And, of course, they wont give you back your personal amount of drugs like spanish police used to do before 1992.
Since you are not a permanent resident you could get away, I guess, but dont know. Point is dont think people over here tell cops "hey, we are in Portugal/Spain, drugs are decriminalized so fuck off". It does not work like that. Not anymore.
Sorry about my English and typos.
Hope you enjoy a nice time in Lisboa

i know.... i'm trying to keep the use down, and i do actually have nights where i sleep completely naturally. and still wake up 4.30-5am. i don't wanna fuck my gaba receptors any more but right now i also don't care about anything but not being this fucking tired.

though today i think i kinda broke through the wall and have been a bit manic but i'll probably drop soon. i'm seeing 2 groups of friends i've not seen since pre-covid tomorrow so i really hope

thanks for the info.

and yeah i'm not expecting anything like that. i don't wanna buy drugs even for recreational use i'm just in a desperate situation right now with insomnia and it occurred to me i might be able to get something that would help while i'm in lisbon. looking forward to the trip either way, just not having to get up for work for a week should hopefully help a bit. but i don't wanna waste my holiday in bed wishing i was dead.

also i would not piss off the spanish police, i have seen them being not very friendly and would't wanna be on the wrong side of that!!
