      From patronrebel Monday

      They go back to school a week from today. I don't know...I am struggling with really wanting to be in my marriage right now but I think it is just because I have not really had time for me to feel like a real person lately. Make sense? How are your parents?

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I was in a head on car accident 10 years ago which crushed my left ankle. I was in high school when it happened so I healed pretty quickly. Over the past 4 or so years the pain has gotten real bad so that I'm walking with a cane. I refused surgery for the longest time, but I gave in last week. Now I'm completely immobile and in excruciating pain even with the meds they are giving me. I'm scared as hell as what lies ahead and question weather or not I should of had the surgery done or not.

      Treatments

      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Can't find a doc that will prescribe it to me
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      The pain is too much for me to even get to that point of relaxation.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      It works as long as I don't move, sneeze, or blink.
    • Close Alcoholism

      I've been a steady drinker since college, but after my wife and I split almost 3 years ago, I have become an alcoholic. Since our split, I've traveled all around the world, moved several times, all in hopes of trying to find happiness. Turns out it didn't matter how far or often I traveled, b/c it has followed me at every turn. It's so easy to disguise it to most people but inside it's just killing me. Now I'm recovering from surgery and having to face that challenge. Oh and I just got a DUI!

    • Open Anxiety

      I've always loved my benzo's for a chronic sleep problem that I've had all my life. I 1st started self medicating with these in college but after my wife and I split almost 3 years ago, I started having panic attacks as well as general anxiety. Finding a doctor that will legally prescribe me xanax or klonopin is next to impossible even though I actually need them now.

    • Open Infidelity

      So after putting a roof over her head, paying for her education, health insurance, trips around the world a wedding and honeymoon in the Caribbean, I get the ultimate thank you of her cheating on me while I was out of town. Not only did she take this guy to the bar I worked at, she made it apparent to many of my friends which put them in a fucked up position. I ended up having to sell my house, quit my job and move out of town, all b/c she couldn't keep her legs closed.

    • Open Insomnia

      I've had sleep issues my entire life in some way shape or form. It's affected my daily routine in a negative way for the last 6 years or so. I've been on all the standard meds, done meditation, been through sleep clinics, aroma therapy, and avoid caffeine. I recently got put on Remeron for depression and it is helping me out better than anything I've ever tried. I also had surgery recently and made a promise to myself to quit drinking while I'm in recovery.

      Treatments

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      My wife cheated on me after we'd been married for 9 months and together for 5 years. I supported her completely and did so much for her. Whats worse is she did it while I was out of town in front of my friends, therefore involving them. Once I found out I couldn't live in that town anymore. I had to sell my house, quit my job and leave all my friends not knowing where I was going.

    • Open Tinnitus

      I've been going to shows since I can remember. When the Tinnitus became noticable, I went to a doc and they thought I had hearing loss/damage. Was tested and have perfect hearing. After getting hit by a car on my bike last year the ringing became very loud and constant in both ears. Seen many docs since then and they have wasted my time. Makes my insomnia even more of an issue. I'm adding Magnessium into my diet to see if that will help.

      Treatments

      White Noise Working / Worked
      Fans, wave machines, good shit.
