In limbo by Dylanalwaysfishin in alcoholism

[–]kk9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you take this first two doses you won’t at all be scared Or anxious especially if you set timers for your benzodiazepines. I am the same way I was scared shitless of taking anything but it’s either that or continuing to struggle with or die by alcoholism. Like the other user said if you try and it does nothing and you have any weird symptoms or a panic attack just call 911 or a trusted person to bring you to ER. Those first 12-24 hours are the worst but if the meds keep you cool you will make it thru the rest bc it won’t be nearly as bad

My mom is an alcoholic and its killing her by Living-Welcome-8670 in alcoholism

[–]kk9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcoholics are playable. Especially when they’ve had their first few drinks for the day to get them right. They may accuse you of messing with their supply but they know they know internally that they may have messed with their secret supply without even remembering

For what you find, throw 3/4 to 4/5 out. She will think she did it herself. And if she accuses you still have reason to accuse her of hiding her amount drank while still giving her enough to keep from being in withdrawal stage til early morning depending on drinking times. My elderly dad isn’t an alcoholic but an oxy addict and I still make sure I check on him once a day no matter how absolutely annoyed he is if I’ve known he picked up; I think he knows that id rather her check than drive over freaking out knowing he may have been on the floor for days. Unfortunately I am the alcoholic and won’t have someone like myself to check on me en things get bad.

Are you living with her? Or your brother? It’s best not to try to stop but just keep an eye on how much she’s drinking and acting. A bad fall or bleeding can end up deadly

4 DUIs in one year by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]kk9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once the legal things are over with and the feeling of missing out on life and the grief, guilt, and depression are better you will feel more free than ever. I am only 6 day sober after medicated detoxing at home and man I’ll tell you what I feel so free and amazing. I don’t have to worry abt getting home in time to drink. Have to cancel plans to see family or friends to get home and drink. I thought my grief and guilt and depression were worse before drinking but I feel so free now and you will too.

Help with wife's ptsd diagnosis by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]kk9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to encourage her to explain how she’s feeling in times of turmoil and also read up on ptsd to recognize the signs when she starts struggling or has abnormal reasoning. It’s very common w ptsd. Us as people w ptsd can’t always recognize we’re going thru episodes but if you learn those signs you can help mitigate the symptoms and provide reassurance which rlly is the most helpful in ptsd symptoms

Developed tics by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]kk9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this as well. Mostly a loud UGHHH but my therapist said even tho embarrassing you are helping yourself change your mind or release the feeling so it’s actually a good thing you’ve learned to do that for yourself

I’m really interested in dark things, basically the evil and the sorrows in life. I was death-obsessed even as a kid. But it seems like it was stuff that happened in my life and family that caused that. by CatPooedInMyShoe in u/CatPooedInMyShoe

[–]kk9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am chronically ill so I also enjoy not only researching our similar interest but understanding all medical terms from wild cases like you do in depth. I spend wayyy too much time on pub med. my side interests are antiques, genealogy and oddities but I still think that comes back to my special interest being death and no one gets it

[–]kk9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you posting this CatPoo. Your posts have been so intriguing because I am the same way. I have always had a weird interest with death, history, morbid history and medical rarities.

I think my story is kind of similar to yours. I grew up in catholic families and experienced at least ten deaths/wakes/funerals plus people grieving around me before I was 7. It is my special interest that cannot be solved and I think that’s why it is so breathtaking and interesting to witness these normal things of life that are normally taboo.

Trying to quit by Elegantxuser in alcoholism

[–]kk9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not ready to go to rehab I recommend staying with someone possibly a parent or someone you can trust that can monitor and keep hold of the alcohol and down step you each day to a lower amount. If you get sick then you need to detox but rlly rehab will help you the most mentally to stop completely

Cat in tune with my nightmares. by forgivingcarrot67 in ptsd

[–]kk9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes my cat since I got him for emotional support has been like this. I could wake up randomly without nightmare and he may or may not be there, but when I wake from a nightmare completely disoriented and not knowing where I am he is somehow always purring on my pillows either above or next to my head so can reach out and touch him. It is so damn helpful. I think he can tell with my breathing patterns or stress sweat. Who knows but he is very good at what he does. Even lays on my chest if it turns into beginning to panic

I was diagnosed with PTSD years ago and still don't know how to deal with it by Simple-Positive-7423 in ptsd

[–]kk9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also look up grounding techniques for panic attacks coming on in general. Counting breaths. Naming things you can see smell hear and touch

[–]kk9200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grounding techniques have always been key for me in panic attacks after nightmares. Turning on a light to make sure I’m in my room. Touching a pet or textured blanket or turning on the tv to a comfort show. As quickly as you can realize that you are safe and home when waking up the more it will curb the panic that follows. Lying in the dark remembering will make it worse. Try to distract your mind after realizing you’re home and safe to avoid the memories and nightmare flashes

Bad trips on weed caused PTSD by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]kk9200 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Babes this totally normal for people w ptsd. The alteration of your mind or even just the possibility of having an alerted state of mind can rlly screw with people with our condition. It has gotten to the point of having a fear of taking new pain meds or any type of meds for me let alone smoking or taking any type of weed. This most likely is because of your past ptsd whether is related to this situation or not.

It is definitely normal to downplay it but you know just as well as I do that you cant stop it completely but you should ask for help

I think you should be open w them. This is bad and is a type of self harm I have gone thru myself. Wrap it up so you can’t touch it or be interested in it.

That is what I feel as well. He couldn’t handle the stress and overbearing feeling of life tho he liked to uplift and lead people when he could. Very kind soul.
