| my "funk" for now- no cravings and very content. I don’t know how many people out there have dual-diagnosis (sp), but because I suffer from Bi-polar as well when i get on a depressive state- that’s when the cravings really happen. when i’m manic, i’m untouchable
I’d love to hear from someone that suffers from ADD/ADHD – I’m curious how that might affect their addiction by taking an addictive stimulant along with bupe or done…. |
I can somewhat relate to that type of situation, I am not bi-polar but I suffer from severe obsessive compulsive disorder that leads to serious anxiety and panic attacks. And when my ocd takes off I start to get really really stressed out than work myself into a panic and most times into a full blown panic attack, when this happens my cravings become very serious and dangerous to my recovery. I start telling myself that a big dose of heroine would just knock me out and i wouldn’t have to feel this way. And that’s when the OCD takes over I obsess over the thought of not having to feel this way if I was high or if I took some valium I would be able to relax and so on and so on you guys get it. When I am having one of these attacks every single negative of using turns into a positive. The only thing that works for me besides taking my Prozac daily is getting up and taking my dog for a walk some days I walk for hours because my house is like a jail cell during one of these funks. I was on benzos I think for like 4 days till my next app when I told my DR how much I love valium.
