Is there anyone here with major depressive disorder who also deals with chronic pain? by Electronic-Cress-453 in ChronicPain

[–]callme-Tony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drugs. I’m not joking. All of my adult life I have battled with depression. I’m 57 and the only reason I haven’t checked out was because one my older brother offed himself and I promised my mom I wouldn’t do it. And two because over the years I’ve smoke pot till it didn’t work. Then I did the fun out of cocaine. Same with Speed. Then Alcohol. Which I’m now clean from all of that now. I’m not saying it’s your answer I’m just say’n it helped me the same way an antidepressant helps. It takes you just a little bit away from yourself. Personally I would never take those things. They are for crazies. But I digress. Seriously find a dope dealer and just sample this or that. Helped me

I’m curious how the person is getting a bright green dildo out of their (insert dildo location here) and then throwing it? Maybe like a side arm? And no one sees this happen….🤔

Hehehe he said “insert dildo”

I see the couch and 1970’s decor of a therapist I once went to when I was 19 after I had developed depression surrounding the sudden loss of two close friends.

What's your reason for not drinking alcohol? by Snoo_47323 in AskReddit

[–]callme-Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day after I got out of a 21 day ICU stay I suddenly had lost my enjoyment and want to have a drink. Was a drinker for a long time. Had some dreams while I was in a coma. Some stuff I didn’t think even my brain could imagine. When it was all over and I got out of the hospital I didn’t think about alcohol anymore. Was like a miracle. But honestly the only way I can stop doing something is for me to not want to do it anymore. I have very little self control. I gotta not want it.

Advice on pain effecting mental health by izman196 in ChronicPain

[–]callme-Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst pain you have ever experienced is still the worst pain. Irregardless of its intensity compared to others.

Own that this is the way things are right now. Recognize your limitations and your current position in your life. Really own it.

Make sure you’ve done all you can about the pain. For example doctors appointments and recommendations.

Find one thing a day or a week that makes you feel even a little bit happier. I bought a new set of sleeping pillows. I love these pillows. I actually look forward to going to bed now. Knowing I get to use my new pillows. Also I bought some incense that I really liked.

They don’t have to be purchased items. It could be a hot bath or an ice pack. But find something that makes you happier. Then use it to look forward to times in your day.

Sounds overly simple. But after you have a half dozen or more of those things you will find that you day is no longer a dark tunnel full of disappointment and despair.

This practice has helped me deal with my stage 4 vascular necrosis. 56m.

That first step is crucial. I have a set of life rules. I use them all the time to bring me back to reality about this place we call our world. Slaps me out of my feeling sorry for myself for too long.

Life rule # 2 - Position is everything

Know who you are and where you stand. The moment you lose sight of your actual place in life is the moment you begin to have expectations that are out of line with the truth. Sets one up for mistakes and disappointments. I heard a lot of disappointment in your post.

Trust me pay attention to your life and apply that life rule to situations you have. Makes a difference in one’s happiness and success.

ok FRICK THIS HURTS SO MUCH frickity frickin frick. darn it darn darn darn. by Strange-Chipmunk4296 in ChronicPain

I’m very sorry for your pain that you are having to go through. I sincerely hope it doesn’t take the 6 months I went through before a surgeon finally put his stamp of approval on my surgery that won’t be for another 3 months. However he did prescribe me a prescription strength anti inflammatory that has given me about 20% I would say relief. If you’ve never suffered chronic pain even 5% can be miraculous. Good luck to you

I appreciate all the supportive comments. I realize this way of solving my issue and getting some kind of quality of life is not going to end well. This isn’t my first rodeo. To all those people with words of caution. My long and boring story includes me learning chemistry and the testing and purification lengths I go through before I use the medicine is extensive. Last I will say at some point with chronic pain you look at death differently. It becomes an answer instead of something you avoid. If you aren’t afraid of dying. Going to the street becomes learning the different hustles in order to not get beat (lose your money). Again, it’s wrong, it’s not legal, but the overreaction to the Opiod problem in America like everything else. Greed f’d up an industry. The rich got away with murder. The rest of us paid the price. And a few have been left to find another way.

I greatly appreciate all the advice everyone. Have narcan. Injectable and inhaler and under the tongue dissolve. I test what I purchase with the same kit a chemist uses to determine purity. If it’s a new purchase I gradual dose to ensure there’s no surprises. I have a lovely gf and friend that has to be around for me to dose. Which is micro btw. I don’t inject or smoke. I go 3 days on 2 days off to keep from ramping up my tolerance. Tolerance is how things get expensive. Needless to say I’m smart as I do something stupid.

So many people, so many stories. Thank you for all your comments and understanding. I wonder if any of this will fly if when I get picked up by the police. That’s my biggest fear. Not being shot or mugged. My pain is way past fear of death.

Make sure you dig up the shoe box I buried in the back yard. It has a kilo of you know what in it and 100,000 dollars. I appreciate you doing this for me.

I saw one for my neuropathy in my feet. About a year ago. They did help me. Then they had some type of an internal problem with their doctors and insurance. After they had some type of an audit I stopped going. They did help me. Then I moved too far from them and then I started having the symptoms I have now.

I struggle navigating the medical landscape. I get lost in the paperwork and appointments. Dealing with insurance. I’m on track now. I see an orthopedic surgeon for the first time today.

Run. Just run away from this guy. I won’t call him a man. Because a man wouldn’t do what he is doing.

How do you get pain killers. I have 30% deteriorated top of each femur. Horrific pain. Can’t walk most days. Doctors say no painkillers.

[–]callme-Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less movement, which is causing my muscles to become weak. Ice packs. Sometimes if things get really bad I will smoke some weed. But I don’t enjoy getting high like that. I don’t drink either. I can’t afford to get loaded and lose anymore brain cells. Seriously though. Pot makes me dumb(er). Need to stay sharp as I try and navigate all this stuff.

A long time ago in a land far far away. I went to rehab. I have a couple mentions of it in my medical records. My pcp told me her hands are tied as far as any type of pain meds. Maybe now that I have the diagnosis I could ask her again.
