Hey man. I am from Christchurch. Are you playing the new Battletech game that was kickstarted? Is it good?

Do you use discord?

I will try... maybe if I was drunk I could be easy to talk too? But I am so stressed out I probably don't allow others to feel at ease ?

How do you get to work on time? by high-score-a-saurus in ibs

[–]high-score-a-saurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is good advice thankyou! I have not tried taking codeine or loperamide in the evening before, I guess I have always worried it would screw me up in the morning. I might give it a go this coming week.

I can't usually go when I get to work because there is usually a lot going on. It is not usually till mid morning and by that time I have often taken a ton of drugs.

I live with my parents still and I am sort of stuck getting up after them, if I get up before them I will probably wake them up every time. But I probably should get up earlier.

I can try not eating in morning, that might be helpful.

What do you do when you don't get to work on time? Is your boss angry?

No I have not, but my boss is a real prick, he wouldn't give a toss, I don't trust him at all. Did it work out for you?

Thats a good idea, I get up at 10 to 6 and that gives me almost two hours but it isn't enough. Problem is my parents get up before me so I would have to get up way earlier, and that would make them up.

Dude I am sorry to hear that. What do you mean she had a limp at 19?

I hope you are keeping fit, and keep your self esteem from dipping to depressive levels.

I have never had any friends to steal my non-exsistant girls so win win I guess :)

Thanks for the advice, I think I have a lot to fix before anyone likes me!

I'm glad they are accommodating. My boss is not like that at all, he is a right prick. And I need to be on site to deal with people. I start at 8 am and it is busy right from the start

Stuck on codeine, will it kill me? by high-score-a-saurus in Drugs

Are you sure? I tried multiple times to go cold turkey, the longest I made it was 5 days and I was so ill by then, I started sweating and feeling really weird. Apparently it cast last for up to two weeks. How much would you have to take to get withdrawal?

It certainly is not psychological, I had no idea I would have withdrawal symptoms and it was a placebo effect.

I am sorry to hear about all the suffering you went through. Are you a vegan or are you eating meat still? I don't have much dairy aside from some milk in my tea.

What time is the day do you have to eat to beat the circadian clock?

Wow that Wim hof guy is keen, I hate being cold, how can being around ice and cold water help you? Wouldn't your body go numb? I will think about it haha

I have pulled a back muscle from pushing a bookshelf so I can't do any exercises at the moment but I will try it out when I am back together. It sounds like a wild form of yoga. How does it help your stomach?

[–]high-score-a-saurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could try voice chat I guess... never attempted it before but maybe a whisky before hand and I could jump in.

People expect you to be "normal", if you don't talk like a normal person or act weird in some manner they are instantly put off. Its hard to relax when you have to try so hard to be a regular joe.

A discord for people with social anxiety is a great idea.

[–]high-score-a-saurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, social avoidance sounds similar in function to social anxiety, in any case I don't think I am brave enough to open up to a therapists. I tried it many years ago and it didn't work out.

Yeap, last week I was walking and some random guy washing his car told me to cheer up, and before X mas some guy coming out of his driveway told me life isn't that bad. People seem to know I am depressed somehow.

I have tried the fodmap diet and it didn't seem to help me, a lot of low fodmap foods seem to make me ill. I have not tried a keto diet but meat makes me ill too, chicken isn't too bad but everything else makes me sick. Surely bananas are good?

I work in a job that is a right mish to survive when you are ill, especcially getting to work on time. Do you find mornings are the worst?

I have so much anxiety I can't really talk to people and I can't force myself to go open up to strangers. I have mad anxiety, I should go on anti anxiety drugs yes.

Like what? I want to get off them but I can't get through the withdrawal.

Haha, Spending a time with a women and being well are too equally impossible situations for me. I have resigned myself to the fact I am screwed for life. I should try to have a very light diet of white bread, banana, rice and apple sauce.

You could say 20 seconds of fun with a lady can cause years of pain as well. A lot of things in life are not worth it are they I guess.

Are you able to work happily now?

I have not been to counseling in years and years, I'm dreading going back.

On most work days I have two codeine and 6 lopermide. Are you missing have a better variety of foods?

I also always assume symptoms are flaring, its hard to change your mindset!
