Seeking support
I also have had issues with
addiction
in the past and don't want to go down that road. I stopped taking my medication (with the support of my doctor) on April 30.

Struggling in general
I'm an
addiction
freak and very impulsive even it causes harm to everyone else. I have lost my family from cheating, lying and gambling which is my own fault and have no excuses. I'm not sharing this for sympathy or forgiveness from what I have done. Like I say there is no excuses.

Hashimotos for Sixteen Years, Realizing I Know Next to Nothing
significantly overweight and I'd continued to walk daily no matter how much pain I was in; have never smoked, drink very little alcohol, rarely ate fast food (but I did eat some processed/junk food,) and basically thought I was doing as hood a job as could be expected for someone with a lifelong food

Alternating meds
The theory is that it is safer against augmentation for the Pram and tolerance/
addiction
issues with the Methadone. So far after one month it is working OK. There are still some bad nights especially with the Methadone period. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

What is naturopathic nutritional therapy?
How did it come to pass the newly wedded man developed a porn
addiction
living with life long debilitating full body eczema. Or how is the woman managing as a new mother, being diagnosed with a secondary cancer after the birth of their first child.

Smoking vs. Vaping
They have replaced one
addiction
for another . Its very hard to advise anyone what is best to help them as we do not know what vaping hasdoes to the brain lungs and other organs.

Down to 1 mg Pred and how to let go?!
I want to let go completely and I think I am more psychologically attached to it now- not an
addiction
or anything like that - I just think it is like taking training wheels off the bike. Has anyone else successfully cut the cord?

The Winding Path Of Depression & Anxiety
DNA, trauma, physical health, environment, upbringing, conditioning,
addiction
... it takes a lifetime of experience to find the bottom of the barrel. It took me 47 years and a crap ton of health issues and trauma to lose my will to live.

Broken in all the right places?đ§đ€
I'm TRD, GAD, PTSD, Panic attacks, disorderd eating, body dysmorphia issues, childhood sexual abuse victim,
addiction
and substance abuse... this is my baggage. But it doesn't get to own OR define ME. I'm finally rising above my "crutches" and coming to terms with my dark side.

why docs donât want to prescribe opioids for RLSâŠ.đ
In addition, opioids have a risk for chemical dependence and
addiction
. Given the relative dangers compared to other treatments, clinicians want to avoid prescribing them. 2.

Peer support wanted! Apply within.
I have other co-occurring addictions with the most significant overeating, but I have a history of alcohol and sex
addiction
. So, I have an addict brain. I have started practicing yoga and have found that to be extremely helpful also. Basically, I struggle ... a lot with anxiety and depression.

Success with Adderall dependence and changing medications?
I assume someone trained in
addiction
psychiatry may have some insights into normalizing brain function and neuroprotective measures from Adderall. But I pretty much get ignored or told they can't help without much explanation. Even sent a flyer for an
addiction
center.

Parent looking for help
His
addiction
to electronics trumps his world that we have slowly cut back. We recently found out that he has been stealing money from one account to another to purchase a video application.
