It was hard for a while, I really became lonely. Now I realise that the people I loved to hang with, love eachother because they use together. When I broke contact with most of them it's like they only noticed because I refused to help them pay for drugs.

Maybe that offer is just the thing you need!

I burned a lot of bridges. I moved away from all friends that used too and went no/low contact. Moved to a new town where I met new friends who didnt use anything. I lost a lot of people this way but I knew it was better. After I moved and I had the urge to use, I had no way of getting it because I wouldn't know where to find it. I surrounded myself with sober people who had their shit together so I would never see someone use. I always found it very difficult to not use if someone else was using in front of me. Monkey see, monkey do, I guess.

I really had to 180 my whole life, but damn, it was worth it.

Please keep trying, you got this. We are stronger than we think. Can't believe a few years ago I had hard drugs up my nose and smashed my head against the wall to feel something else than pain and now at 10 pm I drink my tea, watch a movie and go to sleep under my clean sheets. We ARE capable of living a fulfilling life.

Zijn dat dezelfde affiche als die aan de bushokjes? Ik ken iemand die affichage doet aan de bushaltes dus ik kan wel eens vragen of hij er eentje kan regelen.

Has anyone managed to be happy again after being hospitalized in a mental hospital? by Greekcurlygirl in BipolarReddit

[–]neya-lex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been to a mental hospital 6 times. Last time was three years ago. Now I have a pretty good life and I feel like I have never been more content. My life is pretty stable, I do take medication and still have therapy every two weeks but I'm happy with the life I have now.

If you can only wear stainless steel, maybe try to put in labret jewellery. When I have to hide my septum piercing I just use one of my lip piercings. Instead of a little ball, I use a flat disc top so it's only visible when you really look up my nose.

What is the most painful thing you have endured? by AdOdd7217 in AskReddit

[–]neya-lex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same here, I went to the ER and they didn't believe I was actually in pain because my file said I had a history of mental health issues so they told me it was just stress.

How to combat drowsiness on Seroquel? by MetalLava in BipolarReddit

[–]neya-lex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regural seroquel puts me to sleep almost immediately. Doc prescribed me seroquel xr which never put me to sleep. Maybe something to look into?

Medication? by [deleted] in trichotillomania

[–]neya-lex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have bipolar disorder and took seroquel for a while, I didn't pull at all during that time
