hi all

It's federal again. I have been reading for quite awhile now and finally got the courage to post again. I am still struggling. Now what i don't understand is my need to take 3 to 4 pills a week. Yes I said a week. I can't seem to let go. I am fine when I take them but when I don't have them I am really depressed. I refuse to leave my house except to work. I have shut myself off from everyone except when I have to. I don't want to be around anyone or anything. I don't know what is wrong with me. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

I understand how you feel about the percocets making you feel normal. I would just take two to deal with a stressful mother, and all honesty, we had a terrible fight. So bad last weekend. I cringed at it. She told me "...not to come to her funeral" and then told me yesterday that she was "Sexually abused as a child by her uncle". My mother is nice and then mean. It's hard to deal with. I will be honest. I took the perc to deal with her. Now, I am doing that. I want off them and I'm going to do it.

I guess I take them to deal with life. I was clean for 3 months and was going everyday to NA meetings until someone there offered me a percocet and I took it and haven't been back to a meeting since

You can do it! Just put your mind to it. Be positive! Stay away from stressful people. I have to due this for my sons. I have no way out, even how stressful my life gets. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I honestly believe so.

I have a new grandson who is 6 weeks old and can't even enjoy him for being so depressed. Right now I see no light but I hope to soon.

How long have you been back on the one hear and one there. You've got to go back to na. That's where you get your innerstrength. We all have stress..the pills lie to us and give us a false since of security. Please go to a doctor you can talk to and get some antidepressents. You deserve to feel calm and happy. Well at least calm. And copping here and there is not the answer. With the holidays coming up you need an extra tool to keep.stress down..and to enjoy the holidays without those stupid lying pills
