...See more Chronic painful diseases are treated with powerful doses of prescription opiates. You can be very disaplined taking only the prescribed dose but feel very real emotional swings, achiness, mental confusion, and other symptoms that can be difficult to endure due to a physical dependence of these drugs. The difference between physical addiction and physical dependence is; ☆Dependence are the physical symptoms you suffer but you retain the ability to always only take these meds as prescribed. ☆Addiction is these same symptoms but they can have a wider range of severity dye to a person's inability to refrain from taking more than the prescribed dose. When taking these medications as your doctor has prescribed them, one can still have very serious mood swings inbetween doses as well as all of the other difficult symptoms and even end up with the same mindset of addicts. These are very powerfully addictive mind altering medications that can and will break down the most dedicated disaplined person taking them properly.

...See more Im trapped in my thinking, im a prisoner of my puzzled life. im unable to trust, im a little paranoid. Addiction has taken away everything and everybody I love the most leaving me unable to want to take another breath. Addiction has left me looking like an able person but im unable to care for myself and i cannot get the help i need because although im a very good communicator, im unable to explain or even understand why ive become unable to funtion with even my basic life duties. I have a daily life full of suffering and i try hard to be a nice person and i am, but people see me as lazy, which im not and i spend amost all my time researching for help and direction and a purpose while struggle being disabled without any help. When im in public struggling and somebody offers to help me, im so self conscience and frustrated that i can only say "thanks for offering, im ok", but im not ok. I cant get help because i cant trust anybody getting close because i cant even trust myself. I put in countless hours trying to solve this puzzle while in constan mental and physical pain and i dont want to continue. Im stuck unable to end it, unable to solve it, and unable to describe how im damaged to anybody. Ive tried to get help but they cant see the problem im trying to describe so i get abandoned each time, so its becoming painfully apparent to me its all going to colapse soon. Im not ready to explain it all again, it took all u have to finally make lunch so i'll eat and then sleep as long as possible just like all my yesterdays. Ok, what do ya got?

...See more NUTTY BANANA COOKIES Recipee makes 30-35 cookies Ingredients 1 stick room temperature butter 1 cup of sugar 1 room temperature egg 1 cup of mashed bananas (3 large bananas) Slightly less than 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 cups of flour 1 pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves 1 cup of walnuts PREP STEPS 1- Preheat oven 350 F. 2- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 3- Add the egg and continue to beat until light and fluffy. 4- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. (mix extremely well so you dont end up getting a bitter cookie) Let sit for 2-3 minutes. The baking soda reacts with the bananas which gives the cookies their rise. 5- Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. 6- whisk the flour, salt, and spices. Add to the butter and banana mixture and just mix until combined. 7- Fold in the pecans into the batter. 8- spoon-drop dollops onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. 9- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool and devour

...See more Im Lisa...Hi, My problems seem small compared to what ive read other people endured here on the site. Is it even fair that i felt better after reading that stuff? It actually made me realize I haven't been through such distressing hardships as some, but is that unavoidable? I will be looking around and working on my attitude caused by loosing control of my addictions to opiates and sex. They fuel eachother. It all started out as fun and games but not anymore!! My worst problem is the heroin, but also alcohol and other drugs contribute to my anxiety, depression, my violenct outbursts on family and male and female lovers. "Who do i think i am" So managing emotional swings and cravings causes frequent panic attacks and I lash out. Im good at what i do at work but its easy supporting my heroin and sex cravings. Im a major royal bitch and I need to stop this mess i created. How can i stop if i cant tell anybody? Am i a hopeless case? K well, thats me🍎
