  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • My first entry...

    Sunday, May 18, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    So I'm 17 years old, a recovering drug addict, beat my "incurable" bipolar disorder to go on to become a full time Augsburg college student with a 3.875 GPA....and I get sick all of a sudden. First I'm just a little stiff, then I can't even get up stairs. I finally went to the doctors with the onset of my Raynauds disease. Now I'm being told that I have Undifferentiated ...

  • Do I stay or do I go now?

    Friday, September 12, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I'm seriously contemplating going to the emergency room. It's nearly 5am and the only reason I'm writing this is because I can't sleep because of my damn throat/cough. It honestly feels like someone is choking me and I swallow and it feels like there is something stuck in my throat. I was coughing before but now it's activating my gag reflex (which I think is the strongest one...

  • Can't take much more

    Monday, October 27, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I guess this would be considered triggering....so caution and I understand if you don't read this because of that.
    I just don't want to be here anymore. I'm not suicidal in that I'm going to do something to myself....I couldn't do that. But I wouldn't mind just dying or something. I've been given an ultimatum at work....fix my teeth by the last week in November or I'...

  • I need help for the millionth time :-(

    Tuesday, January 13, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I've been in and out of recovery for years now. I won't go into details but let me just say that I'm usually "out" of recovery. I have a routine. I have some really important reasons that I NEED a drink. I don't have enough medication for my back and I'm in pain, I'm depressed, I have anxiety, I even have reasons that are more positive like, "it's Saturd...

  • So Upset :-(

    Thursday, February 19, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I went to see a new pain doctor today and I was completely honest with him about everything. I lost a doctor who was prescribing me a lot of medication for pain and saw a new doctor who said she is not allowed to treat chronic pain patients. She referred me to a pain doctor. I have been waiting and waiting to see this guy. While I was waiting I had to start going to a methadone clinic just to be ...

    Wednesday, May 27, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I am very down. I am really ready for some happiness to come to me and stick around for a good long while. Is there a happiness dance you can do? Some of the deaths in my life seemed to be from natural causes. my mom took poor care of herself and so did my aunt. My Dad's eating habits were just screaming for a stroke. But it might not have happened if it werent for my brothers death. My broth...
