im Michael Llamas

new to TDS, tho i have my own history with fighting my life.
ill just skip the details and ugly parts and talk about the possitive side which is i finally found a therapsit that seems to help at least a little. after repeatdly trying to medications, i never really found something that keeps my mood ok but along the way i grew a intrest in pharmoclogy of psych meds and became some sort of a small time pill popper, always know what im taking or mixing b4 i do it ;)

i try to live by the rule of not doing any drugs unless its for fun or celebration never to make me happy but thats hard to do sometimes.

been cought attemping suicide in highschool, wasnt the first time but that time my world crashed down and i got addicted to painkillers caz of how easy acess i had to them. i eventully found friends online and slowly broke myself away from the addcition, i will still take a painkiller or two when i have some but i dont get addicted like b4. addiction was my soultion for depression.

so far i havnt gotten addicted to anythign else again but im still struggling with my depression. i dont want to talk about all the reasons that have added to my depression becasue that would take to long but i hope when i find myself in trouble maybe ill find some new advice on here that i havnt already heard of.

its been haunting me, i felt i have made progress, as a whole yes i have made progress but i relapse so much in my depression and desrcutive moods one of my best friends said it seems like no matter what i try to do to help myself im still depressed. they thoght that i wake up everyday wanting to die, im not that bad well alsmot, im not that down every day but i do have such feelings at least a few times everyday. that was a rude awaking to see that the outside world saw me as failing becase i keep having relapses in depression but if i look at the big picture im better than i was before, sure at the moment im not the best ive been but at least im trying.

the only recent thing that concerns me is how now suicidual thoughts have become less and less of a dramtic thought, i no longer need to cry or feel sad to think about death. i feel that maybe ive came to the point where i dont even need a crisis to push me over. its scary to think that i feel that suicide has been a thought i had since i was six years old, a though so old that now it seems like i could do it at any moment if i wanted, as simple as making a glass of water. im not sure how much i should worry about this new train of thought but im aware of it and trying to prevent it untill i can no longer try.
 
Hi Michael, welcome to TDS <3 :)

Sorry to hear about your battles with depression, I'm pretty much the same so I can definitely relate. That's great you've found a good therapist! If you just keep working away at your issues you will find happiness soon. Depression is definitely one of those things that we need to keep working on, probably for our whole lives. But it's worth the effort if it makes us happy :)

Not sure what I did?

Long story short= 2010 has been the worst year of my life. Add to that, I have a seriously addictive personality, but opportunity never represents itself. Well it did. Last night I took 3 Darvos, 4 mg xanax, and again maybe 3-4 hours plus a couple of Soma & 1 Ambien and of course some drinks . This is all I can remmber, I slept until 6pm, and feel so sick. I feel like I have the flu, where my body aches all over, I keep coughing up crap, I can't stop. My throat is raw so I cannot really talk. It has kinda scared me that I could have possible OD'd- what do you think and what I can do to feel better? Think a couple of darvos would be ok or no/

Thanks!

Busted broken AND hurtin'
 
Hi I am new here as well. I am 29 and have pretty much done and quit everything by my mid 20s. I did a lot of stupid stuff but by 20 I had gotten focused and ended up with the whole great job, house, car, family thing. I still have those things but my family is broken. My ex (since we were 14) relapsed and went on a meth binge for the last yr and its over between us. He finally went to rehab and is clean and seeing the kids at least. That is not why I'm here.
I am living a lie and refuse to keep living this way. For the last yr I too have relapsed on meth and graduated to shooting. Literally nobody knows (so I think) except my dealer who I met in high school. Its stressing me out and I'm about to get busted. I have to quit. I have before but besides the meth I have the needle addiction also. I have been functioning fine and keeping prioritys straight. I make rules and have followed them 90% of the time. I manage to get some (maybe only 2hrs sometimes) sleep each night and I do eat and drink. Its got to be obvious. I have lost 75lbs this yr but I claim dieting (I have 5 children, 2 are a yr apart age 1 and 2 so I gained a lot). So I tossed out everything drug related and the mom my kids deserve is coming back.
I'm far from where most addicts are I'm sure. I have maintained good grades, social events, school activities, sports, work, home ect and all alone with my kids but its catching ip so fast suddenly. I feel guilty and ashamed. Esp after my ex went to rehab and I faked it all through courts getting him supervised visits. This drug is ruthless and makes you a cold hearted person.
 
Hi gemini, welcome to The Dark Side <3
I admire your strength for everything you've been through, but moreso for making the decision to get clean this time. You need to do this for your babies. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing more from you in here :)
 
hey all....

TDS is so helpfull to so many a truly great community im proud to be a part of:)

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Today was tough not gunna lie. This is going to be hard but I can do it...I have to. I got into a little depression thing this afternoon over a friend I have who is critically ill. Luckly we were able to talk which is rare now days and I feel better. I have been researching a lot on what to expect so this should be a tough ride. If I don't make it I'm going to rehab fuck it if people know.
Thanks you for the welcomes. I'm excited to find people I can relate to about this.
 
Hello everyone, new here.

I'm 20 years old and I'm in a pretty rough patch in my life right now. I haven't had a permanent home in about two years, my relationship with my s.o. is in the pits, I'm a little stuck in a perpetual cycle of depression and anxiety that is starting to take over my work and social life. I tried reaching out to my mother for help but I haven't been able to depend on her since I was 12.

I have a small dog, he's the little bit of joy in my life right now, as well as other "party favors" that I use on occassion. Other than that, I enjoy listening to music; Punk/hardcore, powerviolence, dubstep, lo-fi, almost anything and everything. I used to like riding my bike and hanging out with friends but I don't do very much of that anymore unfortunately. I'd like to change that.
 
welcome unknownxpleasures.....
ur definitly not alone now you are here, im also in the pits atm but you came to the right place to be able to vent and share with others who are in similar positions, seem to be a very diverse mob here, iv been on bluelight a couple of yrs now all be it with some extended absence, but have found no other than kindness and support:)
 
Hello everyone, new here.
I enjoy listening to music; Punk/hardcore,.

Ace!!!!! same here, though i try to only like UK bands, so i can actually get to see them play, so unless you're from the UK we probably don't like many of the same bands.

i'm in a bit of a rush but hadn't really looked at this part of the site before. it seems like i might fit in here... i've been depressed all my life, suffered a decade of eating disorders, various and ongoing substance abuse problems, had 2 psych hospitalisations, and am trying to sort myself out. i'm not trying too hard though because if i'm ill i don't have to accept responsibilies in life. sorry, thats fucking lame i know, but thinking about accepting them makes me feel like i'm suffocating. i don't know how to move forward. i try not to whinge though as i find it only perpetuates mental illness... so hopefully i wont be too annoying.
 
^^ Hi chinup, welcome to The Dark Side <3
Glad you found us here, and I hope you find the information and support that you need :)

I have been a member for about a year but I mostly lurked. Just started posting more frequently as of late. I cannot remember if I did an intro but might as well re-introduce myself.

I am a cam girl/part time vet tech. 34, 3 kids (possibly 1 on the way, getting a test tomorrow). I have used alot of diff, drugs in my using career. Have had many addictions but opiates are the biggest downfall. That and IVing coke for about a year (haven't touched that stuff in sometime though, maybe 3 years now). I have struggled with depression, also been diagnosed with boderline personality disorder and intermittent explosive disorder. Have done time on probation and house arrest. Back on 6 months probation for stupid shit (petty theft, yes what was I thinking at my fucking age). But despite the past problems I am in a decent place, especially compared to where I have been. Sooo, that's me in a nutshell...
 
^^ Hi carrion doll, thanks for the intro. You're a valued newcomer to TDS so here's an official welcome :) <3

And welcome to angels as well, as dishearten said, there are many people right here who have been through the same stuff as you, myself included. Please don't hesitate to reach out hun <3
 
I'm a n00b, too. My name is Josh, I live in the redneck hills of Oklahoma. Some of the best weed and the worst meth comes from little corner of the world.

I've lurked for years now. I must say that this appears to be the most supportive, caring, and understanding group of people that I have ever seen online. I've read so much that has helped me get through my multiple struggles, and I really appreciate everyone on this site.
 
^Welcome to BL and to TDS mr50/50!!
I'm glad you've decided to make the jump from lurker to Active Member!
I'm also very glad to hear the positive feedback on our lovely little community here:)<3

I lived down that way once upon a time (Tejas and Ks not Ok-but have been through Oklahoma a few times:))
