Could I have caused any liver damage from my Vicodin addiction?

So I have been off Vicodin for 8 days. I was taking 80mg of Hydrocodone everyday for 4 months straight. Could I have caused permanent Liver damage from that 4 month period? If I did do any damage, will it heal since I won't be taking ANY Vicodin anymore?

One thing I didn't mention is i have a lot of symptoms of a person with aspergers, and i only found out a couple of years ago. For instance, i don't have any interests like a normal person, i have a really hard time talking to people and understanding how to make a convo flow, people look at me like I'm weird in public and girls never make eye contact with me (I'm not ugly at all, the only thing I can think of is i give off a bad impression by my body language)

I think i was born with some sort of developmental disorder. I'm really physically weak and I'm not a normal person. I don't find any interest in talking to people, like what the h-e-l-l is so interesting to talk about? I just don't understand people.

The weird thing is you would never think i have aspergers. I look completely normal, people just tell me I don't look like i want to talk to anybody and that i look really uncomfortable around people, which i really am. I've never had any female friends because it takes me a long time get comfortable talking normal with another person and girls won't give a guy like me that much time to get comfortable around them, thus never getting a girlfriend either.  To be honest, I hate myself and wish i could die right now. The reason why this feels so hopeless is because i have ABSOLUTELY NO control over my life.

I just want to be able to attract the girls i see and find really pretty, like other guys. The worst part about it is I know i would be able to if I wasn't held back by my mind, i know i have potential.  I've had some really good looking girls giving me the eye in public, but it only happens occasionally and it makes me feel like crap because i know i would be able to get that more often if only i was normal or had confidence and didn't worry about girls.

Hi again ;)

No One is judging You!

In fact, it's understandable from what you're describing that you find yourself using. There's a void in your life that needs filling. Please, don't be so quick to dismiss your potential & your possible future! There are so many areas to look into -- possibilities to check out that might not be the usual conventional fare. I promise you one thing,: everyone has talents & abilities. Most people need to search for what they're good at & to develop them. (Few are just born with them :)  What really matters is whether or not you're willing to take a chance & dare to believe in yourself. It sounds like you may have had some disappointments or that someone, somewhere along the line discouraged you. Is this the case?

So, what kind of jobs have you had so far? What is it that you're studying in school that you don't care for? Is there anything that you admire out there? A friend maybe that does something that you think is cool but you feel might be out of your grasp?

There are all sorts of cool things to do. I'm just going to throw a few out there (and if they're not up your alley -- if they sound silly --  there are many others! You just gotta' explore a little):

For instance: Do you like animals? How about learning to train guide dogs or working for a rescue center? Do you like music? How about studying to be a recording tech? You're a gamer. How about a video game tester? Do you like the outdoors? How about Forestry? There are all kinds of possibilities when you start exploring. All it takes is a little motivation & curiosity.

You're worth it! :)

You may not have anyone to talk to right now but that can change! For now, you're totally welcome here :)

You can learn any skill you want.  You aren't limited by how you were born.

Sounds to me like you're angry at everything.  I agree that seeking some professional help for the way you feel is a good idea.  From what I remember in the depression forum, you never gave any treatment any real try.

Nobody is judging you. You're young with your whole life ahead of you. Something will interest you. What class do you take at the community college? If you hate it why don't you drop it. Maybe spend some time looking through other courses that might interest you? You said you like video games? Maybe something in graphics? Like I said you're young,something one day will interest you.
