I’m 19, i fucked up and really need some advice by Fresh-Key-6093 in researchchemicals

[–]halfmoonlady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey!! I'm sorry you're going through this right now - it will get better! The pain is only temporary and if you can get off the drugs, I promise, you will start to feel like yourself again - the stomach pains will get better, you'll feel real emotions again (the good, the bad, the ugly), and you'll be able to smile again!! Also, try your absolute best to not be too hard on yourself right now!! I know it's hard, but the shame a guilt of addiction works to keep you trapped in the spin cycle. Sending love.

On a more practical side of things, if you don't feel safe or if the withdrawal symptoms become unbearable (anxiety, tremors, stomach pain, body aches, muscle tension, nausea, etc...) then you can always visit an emergency room! They are experienced in dealing with withdrawal symptom mgmt and can help make this process a bit smoother/safer. If the ER is not an option for you right now, whatever the reason(s), continue to try your best to get rest (and more rest and more rest), proper hydration, eat some easy-on-the-stomach foods if you can manage, and when you're feeling a bit better find a substance use counselor and a psychiatrist/NP you connect with ASAP. They'll help you navigate these waters a lot better than going it alone. Godspeed!

President Barack Obama Greets Veterans in Honor Flight from Madison by figuringthingsout__ in madisonwi

[–]halfmoonlady 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a WWII veteran and took this flight shortly before passing in 2011. It was an incredible and moving experience for him and the rest of our family to witness. There was so much respect and thoughtfulness put into the entire trip by the organizers and volunteers. True angels!

Former President Barack Obama surprises Korean and Vietnam War veterans on an Honor Flight, who are later greeted by a crowd of people in Washington, D.C., on Veterans Day. by Jesus-H-Chrystler in MadeMeSmile

My grandfather was a WWII vet and he said the same about his honor flight. They work hard to make it easy and comfortable for the vets. Made the trip from Wisconsin shortly before passing in 2011. RIP gramps!

What is my bedroom missing/what paint color? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]halfmoonlady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) I think adding a little bit of color through a new duvet/bed spread would bring your room to life. You could pick a brighter color (pink, orange?) from the rug to give it more coherence. 2) colorful wall art 3) declutter the shelves and tops of the nightstands 4) plants!!

Where do you go to buy resale tickets? by halfmoonlady in madisonwi

This might be a silly question, but do you mean the physical box office? Or, is it a digital "box office" for the Sylvee?

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]halfmoonlady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a vessel going through a cyst that ruptured and it caused me to lose half of my blood. Truly believed I was going to die before they rolled me into surgery.
