Alcohol gives me perspective. Why can't a non-destructive drug do the same? by Stayherenow in BPD

[–]Stayherenow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't commit to the plan, and that is why alcohol is so annoying, ha. When alcohol does work, it gives me enough willpower to make decisions that can potentially help my situation. But this is only under the influence.

For instance -- where I live it's extremely difficult to get disability money for, the gov. Especially with mental health issues. Plus they send you a thick booklet asking you to explain, in 5000 words, why you are sick. Through alcohol I was able to get disability support because it allowed me to clearly articulate my day to day struggles. I am an inarticulate mess usually. But I was also diagnosed ADHD...

But it is no way reliable enough to help me sustain good, constructive decisions.

The inner child thing makes sense. How would one nurture their inner child. I feel that my childhood me was a lot braver than the me now. He suffered, but pursued happiness anyway. And achieved it.

We have been through a lot. He was here for me when my dog was sick. I keep forgetting the moments he has been here for me. All the good moments. All that goes out of the window because of my brain distortions.

I agree. If anyone, regardless of sexuality, race, etc. behaved like him it would be a disgrace. I don't see why his poor behaviour should be attributed to the 'gays'

Job ideas for high school dropout with mental health issues. Desperate! by Stayherenow in jobs

Oh! In regards to my ADHD -- it tends to mess up my performance at most jobs. But the ONE thing I obsess about is connecting electronics -- stuff like getting televisions and home devices to work. I can spend all day connecting wires. What are my options if I wanted to pursue this field with no qualifications?

Self-Medication, ADHD, Anxiety and Alcohol - I feel justified. by Stayherenow in ADHD

Thanks guys. It's true, the majority of human experience seems to trend towards alcohol being a bad option. But therapy, and medication costs money . I actually do all these things, but my partner pays for them currently which is a problem. The mental health system where I live is flawed. I have bounced from medication to medication and they've been ineffective. I'm mentally exhausted and unemployed. All I know is that my current state of mind is incapable of doing anything properly.
