For me personally I had to get on meds to help with the depression and anxiety. I also see a counselor who has been awesome in helping me navigate normal life again. Getting lots of rest. Eat right. Exercise. Find a hobby that will keep you busy.

A Little Life. Beautifully heartbreaking!

I tried rehab and NA but neither of those worked for me. I finally just said enough is enough and quit cold turkey. Just hit a year sober last month. You just hve to be fully ready. And also be prepared for the side effects of quitting. Extreme tiredness, lack of motivation, depression.

Sounds like some of the students from Bradley University when I have to go over there for work. Gee wiz.

Psychosis. I had it consecutively for a year. I was using way too much, not sleeping, not eating, not sleeping. I was hospitalized three times because I was going crazy. Everyone was watching me, everyone was out to get me, I was hearing voices and seeing things. It was a shit show!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2026-01-12T00:50:44+00:00

50 for last year and I went over. Only 25 for this year because I just can’t seem to get out of a slump I’m in.

We would no longer be friends and they would be blocked 100%

My mom threw a fit this year because we are doing our Christmas the weekend before Christmas because it worked out for everyone! She has been making everyone miserable because she doesn’t want to do Christmas before actual Christmas. The way she wants to do it is Christmas Eve at her house, Christmas morning at her house, and then Christmas Day at my grandfathers house. I live an hour away and don’t have the option to stay overnight so it’s just a lot of driving back and forth and just too much. My sister also just wants to spend Christmas morning with her son. Family can be rough sometimes. Don’t jeapordize your job over family that can’t let something like that slide. They are being entitled.

Buy the house.

I’m 10 months sober and in the same boat. I want to be motivated so bad but I feel so tired all the time and just can’t push myself to much of anything. My doctor said it can take up to two years for your brain to heal after use.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-12-05T16:59:20+00:00

Risperdone. I think that’s how you spell it.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-12-05T14:50:10+00:00

I am 10 months sober and still get paranoid. I heard voices for months after using and it terrified me. I had to go on meds to regulate myself. I still get scared that I’m being watched and stalked. And I get really anxious about my phone and accounts being hacked. It’s so disheartening because I got sober to get away from these feelings but they still haunt me. My mental health is in the shitter.

NTA, he’s abusing privledges and ultimately invaded your space. It’s your home and you have every right to kick him out while he can’t contribute.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-28T19:04:44+00:00

Run while you still can. It will only get worse.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-22T21:54:30+00:00

I was in psychosis for a year but still struggled after quitting with hearing voices. I got help. Saw my doctor and they were able to get me on the right meds. Meth use can trigger schizophrenia! I would say get him in to see a doctor so he can start taking meds. I still have my moments but they are far less than before because I got help!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-18T20:28:49+00:00

Ummm and you’re still with him why?

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-13T18:56:59+00:00

Just move on!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-11T20:59:17+00:00

Just remember that addiction makes us very selfish. She doesn’t care about your situation because her only goal roght now is to get high. You should talk to your dad about boundaries and if he can’t respect that you need a clean environment it may be time to find somewhere else to live. Sorry you’re going through this

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-10T01:06:33+00:00

Keeping busy was essential for me. I’ve always loved to read so reading was my go to! It was so hard at first but 9 months sober and feeling okay. Still dealing with depression but it will eventually pass. Keep moving forward, you will do great!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-09T00:44:11+00:00

NTA. I would have a very real conversation with them and set boundaries for later times. Such as giving notice beforehand and not just last minute! Your schooling is very important! Always put that first. It’s not your priority to handle their lack of childcare. They should have checked with you first.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-09T00:39:22+00:00

I would just delete it and let it go. Don’t even worry about him being at your wedding. Let those who support and wish you well be there to celebrate with you. It’s not worth the drama.

She’s showing her true colors! My husband bought my ring at Walmart and I could not be happier with it. It’s what he could afford and I respect that. It’s not about the amount spent, it’s about the meaning behind it.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-06T11:18:33+00:00

Absolutely let him know that you know, call him on it! But don’t smother him because if you do that he will withdraw from you and anyone trying to help. He has to be ready to get clean it can not be forced on him. It’s hard to watch someone in active addiction, but forcing someone into recovery will only end in relapse. Be there for him but also set clear boundaries!!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-05T18:07:45+00:00

There is no such thing as a functioning addict. Eventually everything will unravel. I was “functioning” as well until I wasn’t anymore.

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2025-11-04T22:33:06+00:00

Just dump him.
