Hey s.ford74, welcome to The Dark Side.

This forum is certainly the correct place for help and emotional support. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask any of the moderators or administrators.

Hi Robert. :) It's good to have you in TDS. <3 It looks like you've been a long time member of BL. What brings you to TDS?
 
Hi. I'm elle, and I've been struggling with bipolar and eating disorders, and self harm, most of my life. When I was 14 I found myself homeless, and turned to drugs (particularly heroin and ketamine) to forget about a lot of the things that were happening in my life at the time. It was only a year and a half ago that I finally worked up the emotional strength to stop for good, but I still struggle with it all the time, and unfortunately relapse occasionally. I'm still working up the courage to kick my frequent binge drinking habits.

Looking forward to talking to people who have had similar experiences and are struggling with recovery.

Light and Love xx
 
Oh dear, I've been very lax with my welcomes this week, I'm running well behind, so . . .

Fayt, Draven, s.ford, Robert and Elle, welcome to our little corner of Bluelight, you've come to a great place. Hope you all find what it is you're looking for here, as many of us already have. You never know, you might even find something you didn't know you were looking for till you found it as well. Think many of us have done that too. :)
 
Welcome Everyone! Never saw this thread before 8o I'm Mass! 22 Years old from Massachusetts, Speedballs are my DOC. Been struggling with heroin for 2 years and added cocaine to it for the last 6 months. I'm currently 16 days clean from them feeling very good about myself. I love posting in this subforum definitely a great place for anyone struggling with anything doesn't have to be mental health or substance abuse! Hope everyone has a great day, I know I will :)
 
Hello everyone.. it's still hard for me to say I'm addicted to any thing since my addiction is so small compared to others; but I am addicted to speed and opiates. I am 6 days clean off speed and still battling my pill addiction. However it's so nice to be clean off some thing rather then nothing.

I have general anxiety disorder and depression and I've always had a hard time dealing with the issues it causes.

Hoping to get some support here and be fully clean and happy once again!
 
Looking for help and support

Hello everyone, I'm a 48 year old male that's battling an opiate addiction.

Over the years I've tried to get clean numerous times and I always seem to relapse. I have done 2 stints in the methadone clinic and while working the program I was successful (stayed clean of everything while in mmt) I would relapse.

My DOC has always been opiates which I got addicted to due to deg disc disease that has led to two low back surgeries and a neck surgery where three disc's were fused. While dealing with chronic pain every day I have decided I really want to be clean.
This is the first time that I feel ready to kick for me, not family or friends. I am currently a few days into quitting cold turkey. I am using loperamide and clonidine along with multi vit/ mineral and a few OTC meds.

Insomnia and RLS are whispering in my ear to go score so I will feel better. It's kinda driving me nuts. I want to be clean so bad this time and I want it to be for good. Please keep me in your prayers.
 
Welcome, Sickandtired3.
I am very sorry about your constant struggle with pain.
But, I am glad to see how badly you want to quit opiates.
You have come to the right place :)
Stay strong, & good luck with it!!

Welcome SilverStars!
Let me just say, an addiction is an addiction..
Doesn't matter how big or how small.. it'll keep growing until it becomes out of hand.
Take control of it before it takes control of you <3
 
Hi, I'm a 24 year old college student. I do not regularly use drugs, except for alcohol, if that counts, but that is only occasional. My marijuana use was limited to two times in high school, both from smoking it. I recently tried a "special brownie," and am just now getting over the most horrible experience I've ever endured. Through googling "how to get over bad trip," I found this website, and decided to join so that I can share my experience. Does anyone have a suggestion on which thread is the best place to discuss this?
 
Hi oak welcome to Bluelight.

There are a couple of places that might suit your topic. We have a Cannabis Discussion section, a Trip reports section for telling your experiences. If you wish to talk about ongoing personal or mental problems then here in TDS may be suitable. Wherever you decide to post the moderators of that forum can move it if they don't feel it's suitable, or if they feel you'll get more detailed answers elsewhere.

Hey guys, blznazn.
I've had a steady, daily, 3 year run with opiates, mainly oxy, hydomorphone, and the h. I use to be so full of life, had my head on straight, could handle any emotional situation (any situation in general), full of confidence, happy, outgoing, laidback, and now I am exactly the opposite. Since opiates have entered my life thinga have been getting progressively worse over the years and I feel like I have reached my emotional and mental breaking point. I can't ever sleep more than a few hours a night, when I wake up it's a mini panic attack every morning involving pacing and chainsmoking until I calm down, then I return yo bed where I just lay, not wanting to move for another 3 hours or so. I'm trying to get it together, so nice to meet you guys/gals!
 
I'm luckydeer, in need of help. I am 25 and unemployed. I have been diagnosed with ADD by every psych I've seen (started going to therapy at 13), more recently, I've been diagnosed with severe GAD with psychotic tendencies, and dysthymia. I had never experienced a hallucination of any sort until fall of 2011 when a doc. overdosed me on steroids- resulting in extreme depression, literally crying for days, and suicidal thoughts. Later, I began cutting, got 20+ stitches in my arm. I can't remember most of the past year, good or bad, it is like it never happened. I feel like I am living in a dream. Nothing seems real, I have a hard time feeling anything real, only sobbing hopelessness or extreme joy and hilarious laughter. I feel so ashamed and pathetic that I cannot talk to my family (it is extremely distressing to them) or my boyfriend (he will most likely leave me, I want him to see my attributes not my fears). I have no friends that I can trust to talk to, and my psychologist is wonderful but I pay her to listen.
I don't have an addictive personality, but I have abused nearly everything I could. Devouring or inhaling anything I have until it is gone. This tendency is only noticed occasionally by people around me. My pill bottles don't sit on a shelf.
Just started taking antidepressants again 2 weeks ago. I am praying this works. I have had no relief by pills in the past. My last doctor literally threw the pen and script pad over his shoulder in defeat. So lost. So lost. So lost. So lost.
 
Hello everyone. I must admit that I have browsed this website for a long time before registering. Awesome board.


I'm a 23 years old male from the NYC Metro area. I've come here to ascertain information that I need regarding a variety of issues I face daily almost all regarding drugs. Hopefully I'll get what I need and perhaps I can help out others as well.


Take care and thank you for having me. :)
