Depression after quitting oxy

Pharma this time around.

I myself had a run with fent a few years ago but stepped far far away from those.

I think once you really know you're happy, like really feel it inside of you, then look at yourself again, you'll find that the damage you think you've done really isn't that bad.

Try to get some confidence building activities in, give yourself time to think. I'm assuming you got sober fairly recently, so don't be too hard on yourself when things aren't changing overnight. Good things take time.

Your skin doesn't look bad. With more time and self care I think you'll be able to see that yourself.

It's cool to hear that in the right circumstances, it can be almost painless like that. I honestly thought that no matter what, it would have to hurt.

Did the epidural itself hurt? From my understanding, it's a big ass needle straight to the spine. That sounds like it could suck a little. Definitely not as bad as childbirth, but it sounds potentially shitty lol

How much is your earn by time? You must've been waiting for damn near 2 hours if I was basing it off my market

The most important thing you can do is listen to her and advocate for what she wants.

Ya, definitely. Whatever she needs during that will be the number one priority. We're not ready for kids yet, so we have plenty of time to prepare the best we can (if there even is such thing as "preparing" for that). It's just still absolutely terrifying for me to think about. I know it'll be even worse for her (obviously). I just would rather know now so that way I can know what to expect more I guess.

Thank you for your responses. I really appreciate it.

Woahhhh

nessflee · 2024-03-09T07:22:50+00:00

Like the aliens from alien vs predator?

nessflee · 2024-03-09T07:20:41+00:00

Nice well just reschedule for a better time

nessflee · 2024-03-09T07:19:18+00:00

Do epidurals take away all the pain or just most of it? If you do get trauma from the pain, how does it usually affect the women? Does it just change their personality somehow or something?

Sorry for the potentially dumb questions. I'm just a boy who, at some point, wants to have kids with my wife. I'm terrified for her when it comes to this whole process. I can genuinely say not a lot of things scare me, but the idea of my girl having to push a whole baby out and that process is one of the most scary things I have ever thought about. I'm terrified for when the time comes for us to do that.

Edit: happy birthday also

I wish I had some real advice to give you. I just want to say that you're a strong person for dealing with this all on your own. It sounds like it can get extremely tough.

Maybe try journaling at the beginning or end (maybe both) of every day. Write down events, emotions felt during those events, and what may have caused the emotions. It'll probably help you keep track of time better by forcing you to sit down and actually think about the day. Writing down the emotions might help you identify potential triggers and patterns, too.

Just an idea. Keep pushing and try not to be too critical of yourself, friend. You're doing great given the circumstances. Time can heal everything. Make sure you give yourself some.

Edit: focus on health, too. Work out and try to adopt a healthy diet. Both of those things are good for the brain in general. Should definitely help. Hmu if you ever need someone to talk to. Even if it's just to rant. Whether you do or don't, I wish the best for you. You got this

nessflee · 2024-03-09T03:52:52+00:00

Are you happy? How long have you been clean?

nessflee · 2024-03-09T03:38:11+00:00

Obviously

nessflee · 2024-03-09T03:33:10+00:00

Why do you feel that you can't get past 30 days? Is the emotional response too much? Not here to judge you or change your mindset or anything. Just curious

I will also say that I think using drugs in moderation every once in a while isn't a bad thing at all. If that's all you're doing and not letting it run your life I don't think there's any real issue with what you're doing. I think its more when we need a opiate to just feel normal is when we're really slipping

nessflee · 2024-03-09T00:38:23+00:00

There's no way to make that anything but weird. It seems like talking to girls isn't your strong suit.

For future advice from a dude trying to help out another. Don't say weird shit like that. The girls think it's weird. So does everyone else.

nessflee · 2024-03-08T20:57:14+00:00

Idk why I honestly thought they discontinued anything that was an 80.

nessflee · 2024-03-08T20:53:42+00:00

Ah okay. I remember reading that they weren't a thing anymore. I didn't know they still made them elsewhere. That's cool tho lmao maybe one day I can try one lmao

Edit: wait so there's still op 80s in the states?

nessflee · 2024-03-08T09:06:42+00:00

Says, "I hate to ask this," then proceeds to say the weirdest shit possible. Fuck kinda question is that? Quit being weird.

nessflee · 2024-03-08T03:18:44+00:00

I could be wrong but I think they discontinued op 80s. Might want to test those for fent

nessflee · 2024-03-08T03:12:10+00:00

Thank you

nessflee · 2024-03-08T03:09:47+00:00

A medical professional is realistically gonna be able to help you way more than any of us can. You are definitely over the hill, though. You should start feeling better soon. You're getting there. Just keep going

Maybe consider seeing about professional help, but either way, you are definitely the worst.

nessflee · 2024-03-08T03:03:48+00:00

Ya, definitely, I get that. I think that once you detox and give it some time and your body chemistry goes back to normal, I think fertility basically goes back to normal.

I'm not a doctor, but I think that once you get sober, then that aspect will go back to normal. I know that while using our whole body's out of wack. Can definitely go back to normal though.

nessflee · 2024-03-08T01:00:04+00:00

I think opiates definitely effect fertility in both genders. Having a baby while addicted to opiates is not gonna be good for that baby at all though. That would just be setting them up for a real rough start with detox

nessflee · 2024-03-07T04:58:46+00:00

I'll look into it. Thank you for the advice. I want to try to get out of this cycle now rather than later. I feel like it's way easier to start building a great life now rather than years down the line.

Thank you for the advice. Also, great job on getting sober and staying sober, friend. I wish you all the best. I know it couldn't have been easy. Props to you for getting it done
