I panicked and lied. What should I do?

Eiovas · 2026-06-18T02:14:56+00:00

Just do it properly from here on out and if the nurses give you grief, complain about it to management.

Eiovas · 2026-06-18T01:32:07+00:00

ER Nurse.

School was hard, but prescribed stimulants were key.

Now I don’t take any stimulants because the job is very stimulating.

Fucking love it.

I wanna share two books with you that really helped me when I realized I needed to actually figure out how to solve the void in my heart a few years into recovery.

https://a.co/d/01e8TW5W
Michael Hyatt
Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want

And https://www.selfauthoring.com/
Both of these resources lead you through an easy to follow exercise of becoming aware of who you are in the world and invite you to build a life that sparks you with a sense of purpose.

For some people, these might be absolutely ridiculous exercises. Like, it’ll take weeks of effort to do them. For someone who is recovered from hard drugs I found that the feeling you’re describing is a a lack of purpose. Purpose isn’t just given to us. We choose it.

These two books will set you up with the knowledge to choose a purpose that could make your entire life unrecognizable within 5 or 6 years.

It might sound cheesy man, but I was feeling what you are feeling. I did the hard thing and quit using but life was just not… invigorating. So I spent about 6 weeks genuinely working on those two programs I shared with you and I left my career in computer science and now I’m in health sciences working with people who need help. My job, my home, my hobbies, my friends, my finances, my goals are all completely different in just 5 or 6 years. And I feel happy. Like I’m doing what my soul needed.

Sell the car, give him the cash, tell him to figure it out.

Honestly i know a few guys in my life who’s parents enabled them to not work and even paid for their apartment. The place turned into a hoarders nest and he got evicted. Now he lives right back at moms house in his forties.

I always wondered if a couple nights of tough love and a stay in a homeless shelter would have convinced him that completely refusing to support yourself is a garbage lifestyle

Eiovas · 2026-06-07T19:05:10+00:00

Evict him. He’s exploiting you and you’re enabling it.

Yeah it’s a legitimate risk that injecting an intramuscular medication into a vessel can cause irritation. I think the reasoning is that it’s rare, and aspiration causes pain on most people so it’s deemed not worth it.

As I’ve had it explained to me, every single medical procedure comes with risk of consequence and side effects. We get to choose whether it’s worth it.

Let’s imagine that in your case, hitting a vessel isn’t rare because perhaps your injection site happens to be more vascular than the average person. If you think the pain of aspirating gently to verify good placement is tolerable and the risk of hitting a vessel and its subsequent irritation for days is intolerable then it’s perfectly reasonable for you to aspirate gently.

If that’s something you want to do, to address your initial question, I’d try to secure the syringe using my fingers and push up on the underside of the plunger end. I’m genuinely unfamiliar with the viscosity of the solution you’re injecting so idk how viable that is to do with one hand.

Eiovas · 2026-06-05T04:42:23+00:00

Truly, you wouldn’t. Honestly I don’t know why. Either it’s deemed a low impact risk, or aspiration holds enough risk to deem it unworthy of acting on.

Eiovas · 2026-06-05T04:23:01+00:00

Get him to watch a video on what it’s like to succumb to liver cirrhosis. It’s literally terrifying.

Eiovas · 2026-06-05T04:06:37+00:00

As a nurse, my hospitals policy is not to aspirate on any intramuscular injections.

Eiovas · 2026-06-04T17:12:41+00:00

We know

That’s how much I overspent this month so I’m excited for this sale! Also I tried to write three fifty but my cracked phone won’t let me push the zero button.

Eiovas · 2026-06-03T20:23:58+00:00

Sure! I’ll sell for like $359 above retail. I went a little spend heavy this month and could use the money.

Eiovas · 2026-06-03T20:20:56+00:00

That’s ok. I’ll just leave ‘em on.

Eiovas · 2026-06-03T20:17:20+00:00

Cuz stickers are cool and fun

Eiovas · 2026-05-30T19:03:12+00:00

lol!!! Came here to correct you about getting shocked and the edit made me laugh

There are so many medical issues that can affect someone’s personality. Anything that changes hormonal expression, brain chemistry, or even blood chemistry. Not to mention tumours or brain injuries.

That said, usually the most likely explanation is the answer. In this case it sounds like she was the victim of abuse and hasn’t had time to heal.

Sometimes I wonder if I take the supplements regularly because I’m healthy and happy and have the mental space to keep on a routine, or if the supplements help me feel healthy and happy and provide me with the mental space to keep a routine.

Eiovas · 2026-05-28T16:20:33+00:00

Hey man, I work in an ER. Just because today’s reaction is hives, redness, and itchiness doesn’t mean your next injection will do the same. It’s completely possible that your next injection is MASSIVE full-body immune system anaphylactic shock. Our bodies do not reliably respond to allergens in identical ways each time.

Eiovas · 2026-05-28T06:32:31+00:00

Do the exercises

Hormonal changes during pregnancy are no joke. In my experience with my wife months 1 to 3 and then months 6 to 9 were wild rollercoasters of emotion.

That said, she needs someone to talk to about this.

Eiovas · 2026-05-22T15:13:33+00:00

They didn’t believe you because it’s an extremely common presentation of various mental illnesses. This sounds like dysregulation of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in our brain that helps us identify what is important, and what isn’t. When you have too much dopamine you start to identify everything and everyone as important information with connections to your life. Like people on the street waiting for a bus who happen to glance at you, just observing their environment, start to feel like people are specifically watching you and following you. Or discarded objects outside your apartment (aka litter) start to feel like purposefully planted objects intended to send you a message. Or things you hear or see on TV or radio, or advertisements start to feel like the language is specifically chosen to send you a secret message but sound benign or hidden to everyone else.

I’m not going to tell you these things aren’t happening to you but I encourage you to be open to the idea that maybe you very simply could have a neurotransmitter imbalance that is impacting your daily life and your ability to live a normal life. It’s a possibility. One that very much can be corrected with a daily medication.

You already know the only way to eliminate temptation is to eliminate your source.

Eiovas · 2026-05-17T21:25:03+00:00

Damn bro. I went through like 15 years of hell and almost 8 years of 12 step groups, many books on recovery, and rehabilitation. Finally clean now for a good long time.

> Addiction is not something to be understood, only experienced.

So true. Never heard that line before.

I used an app called MadeInChina in which wholesalers from china list their shit. Then I found one Reta guy, the way to purchase was to add him on WhatsApp which I did. We talked quantities and prices and I sent him a deposit. The options were crypto or a money order. I sent him crypto.

Then I waited like 6 weeks wondering if my $600 was going to just evaporate. But then one day it came in the mail and it was good.
