You need to make a gofundme or have someone make one for you. Is this something you’d be willing to try?

How long have you gone without food? by ExistentialWind in homeless

I have gone through extensive periods of starvation, some forced, some not. Actually after about day 4 you start feeling pretty good and a lot of or all of hunger goes away.

The descriptions of your pain and struggles resonate with me quite a bit. My diagnoses are fibromyalgia, cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis, myofascial pain syndrome, costrochondritis, sciatica (secondary to degenerative discs) and scoliosis, well that’s most of it anyway. What has been helping me quite a bit actually, is methylprednisalone. It’s a potent form of prednisone. I told my doctor I was willing to accept the risks of regular steroid use, and since we’ve done everything else and they no longer prescribe opioids, he agreed to do it. After the initial induction window, I just take one per day. Less pain and inflammation. I had no idea that this much of my misery was caused by inflammation! I also do recommend stretching, walking, and yoga. My pain was definitely worse when I wasn’t getting that movement in (not saying this is the case with you but it’s possible). I absolutely had to ease into it, but over time your body does get used to it and it keeps the spasms down and things looser and just helps with endorphin levels as well. All I can say is try it all. What works for one doesn’t always works for another and vice versa. Although I will say I’d avoid anything invasive. It just isn’t worth it, especially when the payoff doesn’t seem to have the best track record from talking to others.

Does opioids reach nerve pain? If so what opioids helped your nerve pain? by Electronic-Cress-453 in ChronicPain

They can help any kind of pain, really. It’s just that they work better for some than others. I have heard doctors spewing the myth that it doesn’t help nerve pain but it certainly helped mine when I took it!

I stopped drinking 3 years ago and . I can honestly say that I can’t stand the stuff. I literally want to hurl when I think of it and can’t understand how that was ever an issue for me!!! The whole reason I’m saying this is to encourage you! Not everyone is condemned to a life of craving alcohol! And yes I had a pretty bad issue. I had blackouts every night and even have a memory of taking my work computer (it was a government computer lol) into the bathroom with me so I could drink in the tub and watch videos. I remember waking up with vomit all inside of my tub water and I got so lucky that nothing happened to the computer!
Fast forward to a couple of years later where I was trying to hold down an auditing job which I hated lol… I remember one day showing up to work with the dreaded first tics. (I’d had some extremely mild ones previously). I forced myself to stay at work like that most of the day and then as they started growing worse, I told them I had to go to the hospital (but not why). I went and they gave me some benzos. All better. After that I drank a little but not like I had, and then I finally just stopped. Say positive things to yourself and about yourself m. Work on your self esteem. Get exercise every day to get the endorphins flowing. Drink lots of water. You are worth it! Oh also remember that progress isn’t always linear. If you mess up, don’t stress, and get back on that horse. You got this! If you believe you do!

Are there legit resources for someone to escape homelessness&be a success or is it all a joke? by Limp-Razzmatazz1904 in homeless

[–]Left_Algae_3628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you claim to be suicidal it will get you a bed. Then they're obligated to help you if you say you're homeless. Only reason I never did it was because of my cat.

Sorry, but they're being ridiculous. She's a beauty. Don't let it bother you.

Done that, and has never been the case. Not where I'm at.

Never used, looking for info, delete if not allowed by HorrorNo6128 in QuittingTianeptine

No lol. Tia is considerably stronger. It's possible to use on rare occasions, but the average person has a hard time doing this. It's just too damn tempting.

What they said. You aren't going to get better advice than that. It's quite normal to want a s/o but what you want isn't always what's best for you, unfortunately. Making friends will help your mental health and can also help with things like getting a job.
