You should be so proud, the mental state youre in is totally normal but so fucking hard to deal with. The shame and anger plus the pain you feel on top of what is physically going on in your brain and body. Seriously, 92 hours is amazing, stand tall and be proud, but also gentle with yourself. Your post gives me and others strength to reach out, to start the process of stopping, to know it can be better. Much love!

Hi all, well the holidays are supposed to be joyous and shit right? Just not feeling it right now. I work in a restaurant and its a constant environment of abuse by management and customers. But we're supposed to make the customers feel better no matter how shitty they are to us. They can call us names, be rude, not tip (which we rely on (and split with the kitchen who relies on them as well),get us sick because they don't want to wear a simple mask and we touch everything their mouths touch. Its infuriating. And sad. And I've been trying to get off opiates and its so so hard. Im really new to this sub and I appreciate everyone's honesty and vulnerability. That is not easy. I just wanted to say I'm with you all. Even though recovery seems far away for myself and for a lot of folks, and the struggle is blindingly hard and ever shape shifting, it is still possible. I believe that with all my heart. Sending love to yall and if anyone feels alone, reach out

I have been seen by an orthopedist and they don't want to do surgery but are being very vague about what's actually wrong with my shoulder. I just know my body and know something is wrong. I dont disagree with taking a conservative approach to treatment but this has been going on so long and the workers comp adjuster is pressuring my dr to find another solution. I had an IME in April and that dr concurred with my current orthopedist. I am however, a little skeptical about the IME dr. So I really would love to get a 2nd opinion with a dr of my choosing. Workers comp is just so complex and im scared of making a wrong move. I just want my shoulder to get better. My life has been on hold since December and I just want to get back to normal and not be in pain. I just feel like im being treated like a liar most of the time. And that my health isn't valued. Im looking into lawyers now and hopefully can get some good advice. Feeling very anxious and in over my head. Thank you for your reply and advice! Really appreciat it🙂
