so....i've just started now realizing, im coming out of this hiding stage, and i realize i wasted 4 years of my life from 22-26, and all i have to tell you is NEVER let yourself get depressed and just sit and let it take over you....because this is what happened to me, i was ripped off dexamphetamine and it took 4 years to realize its a waste of time to thihnk about it, and not alone thinking im going to fail at everything....
so, my words of encouragement, is to NEVer let hopelessness dominate your life....

You still sound angry about being 'ripped off' dex. I would think that narcotics anonymous may still be of benefit to you. Like an alcoholic that gets sober that's the easy part. Dealing with what's inside is the hard part.
Just my 2 cents RJ, it's all hard. Sometimes all I have is the fact that I never gave up. I'm 60 and it's been a rough ride at times but I can't change the past.

i am on nuvigil, and large amounts of prozac and lamictal.....im not really mad about what happened, but i have to say what they did was not ethical...
i showed up at the doctors office, i sat down and told the doctor i was having difficulty with my situation needed to work with the medications....he sat there, looked down, and wrote me a script for Abilify and said i've talked with your mother and therapist and we decided to send you to rehab, it was littely like a small conspiracy...
they wher talking behind my back and telling them to send me to a psych ward and be ripped off everything, the xanax, the dexedrine, and i did, i went into the psych ward substance abuse doctor....what im telling you phil is what they did was WRONG...i was doing fine, they made a plan to throw me and lock me up.... not just being "ripped off" dexedrine, its what they conspired to lock me up...I moved back home, and i got into fights with my parents, psychical, and started having the paranoia that people where harrassing me in the city i live in, i drove places and cars tailgated me...same cars, same people, and that was a horrid time...2009-2010....
alter ego's started to surface because i couldnt take the pain....i litterly split, i was being abused, at home, and when i left the house, it was terrible, thats why my brain split into diffrent sections which made parts of my personality split....
see people tell me all the time, rj you have a problem, and everything i say, it's counterfited, i did go to NA meetings for 2 years, and people don't get that i have already been through all the NA meetings, i started doing meth with people there....thats why i stopped....
enough of this, no one knows my pain, and not alone understand

but let me clear some of this up, it's fine where i live now, there's no fights, anything its good.....and i don't want to say im living with bad people, i just made up that i would comply with my parents until i move out.....and i feel guilty for writing this because its happy....there's nothing bad
so, let me clear that up, i've just had to vent that....maybe i went over the bridge....i had to get that out....
thanks phil ....

Hi Rj, that is really good advice. I was really drawn to your post because I had a very very similar experience from when I was 22-26. Strange huh? I agree with your advice wholeheartedly! I want to add, that for someone who is just kind of inactive and depressed, it's never too late to get better.
