Dual diagnosis
I have depression, psychosis and a drug
addiction
. Lost my job last year because I was "unlikely to recover". GP's keep referring me to Mental Health Services who keep rejecting me. Flat out refuse to do anything to help. Depression came first, then
addiction
. DWP = severely disabled.

Does anyone else's ADHD kid refuse to do any non-screen activities? How to break the cycle of addiction?
Despite all the support we keep trying to give my 10 year old son with ADHD and sensory process disorder, and 2e (CBT, meds, hugs, schedules, zones of regulation check-ins etc) I have been struggling for a long time to find non-screen home activities that would sustain his attention for more than 15

Opiod theft anxiety
I try to hide my medication so it's not visible but I still have anxiety about my opiods getting into the wrong hands causing someone else harm or
addiction
. Moreover, there also is the smaller but real concern of "Oh No" I have no meds for the rest of the month.

How to Reduce Novelty Seeking Behaviour?
This obviously is an
addiction
and it keeps me from focusing on one thing to completion. I guess it releases dopamine when I seek novelty, but is there a solution to this or should I just make a concious effort to restrain myself?

Total shambles
The GP I spoke to (not mine) was the one I saw in 2015 when I asked for help with my alcohol
addiction
. She was horrible. Looked down her nose and sent me on my way with a lecture about the evils of alcohol. 4 years later diagnosed with Cirrhosis. Cant walk or drive. Quality of life shite.

Severe panic and anxiety
Also given diazepam which i am terrified of, to be honest, due to the
addiction
effect. I was so bad on Sunday morning that my husband drove me to A and E where i was sedated. I was then sent home but the following morning had terrible withdrawal from the drug they gave me.

Post full keto update
Since some sort of sugar-fixated
addiction
is clearly part of my issue, I need to restric the consumption of these sweet treats (sweetened with chickory root fibre) to once or twice per week and I need to watch my portions.

Almost like an
addiction
. I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety before but not clear about OCD but once in an appointment the Dr noticed my skin that I had been messing with. I didn’t realize I could actually have a condition (dermatilloma/excoriation/skin picking disorder).

Iboga / Ibogaine Summary (For Dopamine Regeneration!!)
They are mainly used to help those with
addiction
issues. I tried emailing a few of them to see if they would sell me some Iboga but have not heard back. There are also storefront dispensaries out west in BC that sell psychedelics...

I thought it was just me; Self-Harm
To me it was an
addiction
, like it physically felt so good. It wasn’t painful at all, it was euphoric. It was an immense amount of pleasure. I thought I was the only one who felt so addicted to it for this reason. Turns out I was wrong 🙂

New member questions
Seems, after talking to my therapist I learned that this direction, the doctors who write these scripts are geared more towards helping people with
addiction
problems and as such charge a high fee, a fee that I can’t afford but I do have insurance, which these doctors don’t accept.
