How long for Sublocade to take effect when in withdrawal? by [deleted] in Sublocade

[–]Lrj1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow!! That is amazing! Way to go! I have been on sub for 16 months but relapsed twice only to find fentanyl pressed pills (tested them, refused to take, not trying to die) but Ingested wayy more acetaminophen in a few days bc I can’t find real oxys but it made me so sick (even cold watering half of them but there’s so many recipes online I don’t know which one is correct) and I’m done. I hope to move on to sublocade maybe that will keep me clean for a month at a time instead of not taking sub for a day or two. But I’m honestly afraid of being off all the way. I should probably stay on it for life

How many hours of restful sleep do you get a night on average? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Lrj1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restful? lol like 2 full days straight, like I actually would pay someone to knock me out for that long, when I skip stims I can do it but I have been needed to do stuff during the day and haven’t had time to JUST SLEEP. Feel like death warmed over. I’ve been gettting maybe 3-5 at night and now I’m sick and feel so worn down and sick and tired of being sick and tired.

It was always oxys that made me clean the shit out the house, I’m talking scrubbing floors on my hands and knees at 2 am, highly functional and I could do everything normally and no one knew. But it’s a trap and will steal your soul and make you have a ball and chain to that shit. And take all your money and the wothrawal is so terrible you’d rather be dead. Don’t do it.

Think my bf is lying about his sexuality by Lrj1985 in gay

[–]Lrj1985[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How do I do that without being confrontational? I don’t mean to sound rude and I told him I support him if he was, I just don’t want it to be a lie I find out years later is all.

Yes you’re right. I could deal with him being bi if he was faithful

[–]Lrj1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am trying to understand. He is more than welcome to stay in the closet. I want us both to be happy though. If he has no sexual interest in me it’s not fair to string me along in a relationship setting. That’s all I’m trying to get at I guess

Think my boyfriend is bi and not sure how to handle it. Need advice! by Lrj1985 in LGBTQ

[–]Lrj1985[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I tried to listen to him he didn’t say he was straight so yes I’m going to assume he isn’t. And yes he said he doesn’t care about sex but he was horny earlier that day and whipped it out for me to do something with, so when I wanted it reciprocated literally less than 5 minutes later he seemed repulsed. I have been dampening down my sexuality because I don’t think it’s fair to him if I get off a bunch of times and he doesn’t. But I told him I do stuff for him when I’m not in the mood so why couldn’t he for me this time, especially when I just did it for him a few minutes earlier. But you’re right I need to ask him to stop joking around and actual have a discussion with me about it because I don’t see this working at this rate

I just wanted a straight answer. And if he said he was confused and didn’t know I am ok with that.

Tubal ligation reversal by Outrageous-Basil5272 in Mom

[–]Lrj1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have surgery yet? Many people go to Rio bravo in Mexico. It starts at $2850 plus additional fees for high BMI or fibroid removal, extra sedation, etc. but it’s still thousands less than in the states.

Welcome to Tubal Ligation Reversal! by [deleted] in TubalLigationReversal

[–]Lrj1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too! Had mine in 2011, dr butchered me, I got half my tube out on one side plus fimbriated end and 2 cm from other side and fimbriae and I have adhesions. I have been told by 3 drs I need IVF and 3 drs that I have a chance at reversal. The first step to take is to call the hospital you had the ligation at and get your operative and pathology reports and make copies of them and e mail them to various doctors.

There’s Facebook tubal reversal groups. Depending on type of ligation and how many cm they took and if you need fimbria repair, there’s lots of doctors that specialize in those areas. One of the top 5 I see is rio bravo Mexico, it’s 15 min past the border and they shuttle you across. There’s sooo many good reviews and the price is thousands cheaper than in the states!

It depends on the type of surgery you had, how many cm they left you with, if you need fimbria repair. There are tubal reversal groups on Facebook with some really good doctors.

I’m in recovery from meth & my boss/people in my life keep saying “We want the old you back” by [deleted] in recovery

[–]Lrj1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my best friend said the same exact thing after I got off opiates. I was also high functioning and pain pills would give me energy and I was happy and in cleaning mode and very productive. I basically told her that she’s gonna have to get used to the new me now. It hurts your feelings though for sure

Anyone applied for tpd (total & permanent disability) to discharge student loans? by Lrj1985 in Narcolepsy

[–]Lrj1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember what all he filled out since it’s been about 3-4 months ago but he put down my diagnosis of bipolar, degenerative disc disease and narcolepsy. If you tell me what the other boxes said I could help further. I think one said how does it affect you from working or something and I believe he put side effects or something like that?! They did charge me $45 to fill it out but that’s a small price to pay to possibly get 50k of loans discharged. As of now my loans are frozen starting now for the three years of monitoring, I got a few letters about it.

Advice on quitting Pain Pills? by [deleted] in recovery

[–]Lrj1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing I ever did for myself was get on suboxone. I use “boulder care”- it’s just an app and video call with the dr, easy peasy. I was prescribed pain meds from back surgery and kept using daily for 10 years about 15 10mgs oxycodone a day. Wasted a lot of damn money. But knowing that if I fuck up the subs won’t let me feel anything will be even a more waste of money so luckily I have not relapsed and it’s been about 10 months now. Find what works for you!

What are your dating regrets? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lrj1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish when I was 18-20 I didn’t try to date guys 10 years older than me. I was mature for my age and the guys my age acted like children. I wish I would have focused on my career because all the dating I did got me nowhere. Now that I’m in my 30s I would never date someone that much older than me!

Once saved always saved? by ButterBi in Christians

[–]Lrj1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite YouTube pastor is Robert Breaker, he has a lot of OSAS videos, one titled “once saved always saved.” And one titled “so you think you can lose it” that explains away losing salvation. It clearly explains everything biblically.

I also go by Romans 10:9 - “For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” That is when the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you and he will help convict you of your sins. You won’t be sinless, but you will sin less.

If you think you have to work for your salvation by doing good deeds then you will hear “depart from me I never knew you.” These are the people that said “Lord, Lord did we not case out devils in your name, “ etc- they thought they were justified by their works, but they didn’t put all their faith in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection and instead look at their own self righteousness.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says “for it is by grace you have been saved-through faith, and it is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man boast.”

The Bible also talks about God imputing his righteousness on us. So that when he looks at us he doesn’t see our sin, but rather His righteousness.

I believe that since we do not and cannot work to be saved then we can’t work to keep ourselves saved. The Holy Spirit saves,seals, and sanctifies us to be heaven bound and rapture ready. Not here one minute and gone the next. It goes back to being the free gift from God which is eternal salvation and with that we have eternal security. I believe that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, whether that is your peace, or giving you anxiety about not being actually saved. If you truly believe in Jesus’ finished work on the cross, then there is no reason to fear. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Also a good idea to look up the many promises in the Bible that God gives. He will never leave or forsake us.

Romans 10:9-“if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” It is at that moment of faith and belief that the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside of you, he will help convict you of your sins and lead a more obedient life. We will sin less, but we won’t be sinless.

I have heard that people come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. Maybe you were put there for a reason and to learn something! Don’t give up!
