Yep, I’m feeling the same. Depression and apathy. Depression over decisions made from years back and while on Suboxone. Thinking on time lost, time I cannot get back. No desire for Suboxone but for other substances. It’s been 7 mos, 3 days since jumping off subs. I too have missed a few days of bible study. I write this simply to let you know I’m going thru it too. Key word “thru” Jesus will walk with us thru this. Bless you brother.
Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome is a Real Thing. I know two people who recently went back onto a low dose of it because of the depression. I think part of it, is keeping the Suboxone around. That’s what happened to them. Our minds are powerful and addiction is a difficult thing. The addiction will tell the brain, “There’s Suboxone here. If you take just a little, you’ll feel better.” Yes, it may help for a minute but then the person will need More.. I know it’s hard right now. You are doing Awesome!!!
@Gabe McCall Always, More. I’m starting to question my doctor’s advice about putting me on Subutex for pain. This just isn’t what I signed up for. I feel really weird and I don’t like it, and now, I’m sure that I will have to go back through withdrawal to get off of it. I am not surprised at the dr tho. She isn’t looking out for my best interests, that’s for Sure. It’s very sad that she isn’t.
Cindy Moore yes for pain you don’t want something that changes your personality in such obvious ways it deadens your spirit as much or more than it kills pain so hope you can sort it out soon
I feel you on that depression and anxiety. All I can say is this crap is getting old. I’m still here with you... grouchy and pissed off AF... but still going.
Melissa Gallegos -I know it sucks, I was actually thinking about u today wondering how you were handling everything. Kinda weird, just cause I remember a while back you were going through this crap. I was wondering if you still were? Your a strong person!!! Believe that! You have been dealing with this crap for a long fricken time and I know what your going through and it’s very very rough. Keep it going, stay strong and it will get better! I promise!
Gabe McCall :: I try to stay super positive despite feeling absolutely terrible. I’m the kind of person who puts on a smile and fakes being ok because I don’t like to burden people with my problems. I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’ve had depression and anxiety issues in my life, but nothing like this. I keep telling myself this will pass, but the months keep passing with no relief. I hope it gets better, i’m just really angry because I did this to myself and I’m paying the price. But going back to opiates or subs isn’t an option, mostly because I have zero desire to go back to that life. Just gotta ride it out, no other choice.
Melissa Gallegos -I’m going to pray for right now. I just read some Bible and was getting ready to pray and I saw this message. I’ll be praying for u more often. It is very dark, and u can sure feel alone at times cause it really is so bad that if a person hasn’t gone through it? They just don’t quite understand. People in my family will say to me “ I know exactly what your going through, I was depressed myself” and I used to get so pissed at people cause they don’t know. But now I just kinda shake my head and think inside... “u have no idea” keep hanging in there, I’m so proud of you! I’m glad your still here and your really doing it! Try not to get to discouraged. It can be hard though. The grass is truly greener on the other side of this.
Gabe McCall :: Thanks Gabe, I really appreciate your prayers! I haven’t been praying much the last few weeks. I’m literally on autopilot and feel like my prayers would be half hearted, insincere and selfish. All I want is to feel better and I find myself getting angry with God for not helping me get over this. But then I realize I did this to myself and I’m being taught a lesson about faith and my life choices. I’m just exhausted and discouraged with myself. One of the many phases of sub detox. Despite my piss poor attitude these last few weeks, I still have the faith. I think God knows what’s truly in my heart and forgives me for all the negativity going on in my head right now.
Melissa Gallegos -God totally sympathizes and knows we r not our selves right now. And our chemistry isn’t right. As crappy as it is... your right, it’s a payment. We got ourselves here, and now we are getting so close to being out for good. Keep fighting that negativity, but I know it’s hard. God bless
Gods Elect - I know, I’m in touch with many people further along than me that are still dealing with depression and anxiety. Those r always the last things that leave when going through this.
methadone detox please expound? I’ve done Methadone in 2008 off 27.5 mg and am now after a few clean years at .6 sub so do have an idea as well as knowing people
Gabe McCall depression is an easy thing to be in this messed up world regardless of substance abuse that’s why there is a massive market for a antidepressant
@Gods Elect That’s the Truth. I don’t even think that the antidepressants work more than a few days. Although if a person starts taking them, it’s hard to get off of them.
Yes I'm 5 months in a week right now off Suboxone and I agree with you totally the Lord your God is my strength I couldn't get through this without him God bless you
The world is yours channel is pretty good mate he lays it out have you watched him ? I’m sure you have and he got better brother and you will beat this too
methadone detox - You can call it bs if u want? I wouldn’t call it sick, it’s depression and anxiety for sure. I was sick this week with an ear infection? Don’t know if that’s what your referring to? The length of this crap is for real and u better prepare for it to be a long journey.
The movie quotes are hilarious brother... Dennis The Menace Lmao... 😂💀
😂

Bruce Jones - Thanks Brother. We definitely feel each others pain and God will get us through this as we both know. Appreciate your encouragement!

Takes anywhere from nine months to a year brother, from my research.
No it dont

I was gone for a few days. I took an offline vacation.
Cindy Moore -Sometimes we all gotta do that!
The world is yours channel is pretty good mate he lays it out have you watched him ? I’m sure you have and he got better brother and you will beat this too
Gods Elect - Yeah I have seen his stuff. It all passes. It’s just time right now. I just have to slow down and be patient.
Come on bro really still sick day 160 I call bs
methadone detox - You can call it bs if u want? I wouldn’t call it sick, it’s depression and anxiety for sure. I was sick this week with an ear infection? Don’t know if that’s what your referring to? The length of this crap is for real and u better prepare for it to be a long journey.
