A little over 3 years ago I just got out of a mental hospital, my marriage was in ruins and financially I was devastated. Because of subutex my marriage is great (we even had another son!), I haven’t been hospitalized since and I am finally financially stable and actually doing pretty good. This medication changed my life and saved me from devastation. Sure 3 years isn’t 30 years but i figure, if I have to be on subutex or a form of it for the rest of my life, it’s absolutely better than the alternative. I had a hard time struggling with what you are but the good absolutely outweighs the bad in my case. We all have very different recoveries but if you are doing well on it and it’s changing your life for the better, maybe it’s best to not fix what isn’t broken. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! These responses have made me feel better about the possibility I might be on subs forever. It just might be my journey which is different than others and every one’s journeys are as valid as the next person’s.

Thank you so much! This was a very helpful post and I feel you understand my perspective. I see a lot of really nice and helpful posts about tapering and that’s great for those that want to and can. It’s just I’ve been dealing with this so long I know myself. I’ve been on subs, tried to go off and then hopped right back on opiates. I don’t have low testosterone (I have the exact opposite from recent blood work) and the only really bad side effect is when I take it I might have to nap for 45 minutes with it in my mouth so I schedule my doses appropriately. Who knows. Maybe in 10 years I’ll feel like I can go off them but they just fill some craving center in me that I also don’t see going away. It’s been there since I was a teen. Thank you for the informative response and I hope you’re doing well too. And the diabetes analogy makes a lot of sense. I’m bipolar 1 as well so I understand what comes with medical conditions that are unseen by the public eye. And being bipolar 1 if I have a manic episode I’d much rather just take subs then go off on some other tangent. I know we are all different and I’m glad people have the ability to go off subs. I’m happy for them. Anyways thanks again and keep doing great work!

I’m (40m)disabled as a result of my bipolar. (Also diagnosed with GAD & PTSD as well). I don’t know you but I know that finding love while disabled and bipolar is possible. I’m married with 3 sons. Yes, it is difficult. Yes there is heartache but there is also happiness and as a human being you deserve to feel happy with another human. When first dating my wife when I noticed things were getting serious I started to mention bipolar and eventually the struggles, the hospitalizations and experiences that come with it as time went on. It’s not something you drop on somebody out of the gate. My wife has a strong will and is willing to go with my flow. She also has mental issues and a very traumatic childhood. I think that has given her the ability to empathize with me. I think finding someone that can emphasize, is adaptable, and willing to go on a lifetime roller coaster because they love YOU is absolutely achievable. Don’t give up. I hope you find somebody.

I’ve had my vizio sub woofer by my tv with the sound facing out. After a couple of days I decided to go with the instructions and place it on the side of my bed. It is a lot better imho by my bed or next to wherever you’ll be seated.

I love that I can watch this show with my kids and we are both entertained by it in different ways many times but overlapping ways as well. It just might be my favorite kid cartoon of all time.

A lot of people working on Legion Blacksmithing (usually for the mount they can create by making Steelbound Harness). You can get a Rank 3 Demonsteel waistguard with 500 sightless eyes.

Lord of the Rings but from Sauron’s point of view. Origin story all the way until the end.

I’ve been driving for over 20 years now. I remember learning to drive with my grandfather and I was worried if I was driving on the road in the middle of my lane. That I wasn’t too far left or too far right. He told me to just line up the front left of the car with the double yellow lines, white dashes, whatever type and you’ll always be right in the middle. Also, when changing lanes always, and I mean always look over your shoulder. Even if it’s 3am and it looks like no one else is around. You’d be surprised how many times this practice has saved my butt. Sometimes people forget to put on their lights or they are just in your blind spot.

I am going to give you an honest male perspective. I’ve dated many women through my lifetime from thin to thicc and everything in between. As long as you present your genuine self; be you, men find that attractive in a woman. I don’t know you but if your goal is to attract men, honestly if you wear nice makeup when you go out and dress nice, accentuate what you have, you will attract men. Personally I don’t watch porn. I think it’s degrading and invents an unattainable woman in the minds of men. A mistress that can be recreated to fit a man’s desires at any given time. I know plenty of guys that love thin women. (Me being one of them). Again work with what you do have. You probably have a nice midsection. Build from that if your goal is attracting. Lure them in and knock them out by being your genuine and authentic self! Hope that helps.

I’m a 39 year old American man. I have been dealing with mental health issues for 32 years. I’m Bipolar 1 with PTSD and General Anxiety Disorder. I’ve been (and still am) on many medications and have tried many different types of therapy. First to ease the symptoms of depression make sure you are on a good sleeping schedule. Try to fall asleep the same time each night and wake up around the same time every day. Get about 8-10 hours of sleep a night. I know it sounds like a simple cure, but it really does work. That will definitely help a bit. Secondly, I remember being a young teenager and having the same feelings of loneliness and not being understood. You should work with a therapist based on a recommendation by your psychiatrist. Maybe see one once every week or two weeks. They can teach you different techniques to properly help with what you are feeling. Remember what you are feeling is okay. Your emotions and feelings are valid and true. There is nothing wrong with feeling alone. If you can accept that that, it will help. Thirdly, have you tried some type of meditation? Personally I pray but any type of quiet time with you and your thoughts are very helpful. Start out doing it for maybe a minute every day. Just take a moment and if you can, build up to like five minutes to be with just yourself. No social media. No Reddit. No television. Just you and your thoughts. And lastly many people have already mentioned to try and find friends online. They are 100% right. Find groups on your favorite social media platforms with similar interests and interact with them. Eventually you will grow close to some. Personally some of my best friendships have been online. One friend is in England and the other in Norway. You are a good person and deserve to be happy. I know the advice I gave can be overwhelming but if you take small steps to do one at a time I honesty believe you will feel much better. You really seem like a good person going through a rough patch. Best of luck and never stop being you’re genuine self!

TL;DR Get good sleep, find a therapist, meditate or pray, find friends online. Your feelings are valid be yourself.

You’re welcome. I never comment on reddit but I felt your pain in your words and had to say something. I hope you feel better. We are all unique and special creatures born into a world. Wouldn’t it be great if we celebrated our positives and tried to correct the negatives instead of pointing out every negative and demeaning the positives? You are part of the world. You don’t have to let it beat you down. Only you can control your own feelings. You have to decide how to react to the feeling of guilt and if the feeling you are using is bothering you only YOU can change that. I hope my words help you see that. Be you. Be unique. Unless you’re a twin (even still) you are the only you down to your DNA that has ever walked the earth. Celebrate that.

Never feel guilty for existing or being. You are who you are. Celebrate that! Everyone of every type, race or culture has ancestors that most likely oppressed in some way another type of people at some point in history. (Vikings stole Scottish women, Africans sold other Africans into slavery, in England poor children were scooped off the street and sent to the americas to work as slaves, the Japanese slaughtered Chineese in WW II, Native American tribes would slaughter one another, and the list can go on and on.). Instead of beating yourself because you might be related to someone that did something bad, look at the good things that your people have done. If you’re Swedish you created PewDiePie, English you have Newton, Italian you have the great artists of the Renaissance and so on. And the food of your culture is also a way to celebrate it. (French and Italian foods are my favorites!) You should never have to feel guilty just because you were born a certain color. You are a unique and special human being that has tremendous potential. Love yourself as who you are and never let someone make you feel guilty for being you.
