Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 The only time I have ever felt really good -- good enough to want to live and good enough to make plans -- is when I've been under the influence of some substance. Thanks to societal rules and regulations, the availability of those substances is vanishing. Oh sure, my "pain" is as nothing compared to what so many others seem to be suffering. I know, I know. I know. I should be thankful I'm not a teen on Utoeya island in Norway, or some partygoer in Grand Prairie, Texas. I know. I know. I know.I know fuck-all.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Taking into account the dangerous amount of tablets you self-medicated yourself with, going without now must have left you in a very uncomfortable place. Hoping you can find a way to embrace the pain and let go of the suffering very soon.
