Drug Rehab and Mental Health Question?
Question by Allen: Drug rehab and mental health question?
I have admitted that I have a serious addction to drugs. And I would say its not specific. Its like when im on drugs I think about quiting, but when im sober im thinking about getting drugs. I just dont want to be a part of reality, and I feel normal when im on drugs, if its alcohol, weed, pills, or cough syrup, I will do whatever. I almost cant even put into words what its like in my mind everyday or what I deal with, like one minute I can create all these goals and start plans and projects and be out going, and almost feel like I have a direct connection with god, and then its the complete opposite, just blackness and I hate people or like both at the same time, its extreamly scary. I want to quit drugs to feel happy, and to see things clear, but because my manic deppresion is so bad as well its like I will never be. Most of the time I feel extreamly deppresed, but at the same time I have a interest in everything in the world. My moods change so much now, that I can notice it and its like im locked inside my mind and I cant get out. I feel like im losing my mind, and everyday I question why I shouldent just blow my brains out. I need to be somewhere for drugs and because of my mental state. I was wondering if there is a place for this the can focus on my problems with drugs and my bipolar. And the cost. And if anyone has suggestions or can just relate to me, any thing at this point could help. Thank you.

do you have anyone to help you get admittance into these places? Google your area (City and town) and Rehab. www.google.com
you could consider visiting a psychiatrist if you think you have the ability to live on your own. The prices ranges on quality and area, do you have insurance that covers it? call different places for a price range ( or get someone to help you, it will go by faster)
in the mean time you could pick up a sport, such as tennis, or karate, to focus on you physically and improve yourself mentally while at the same time keeping you busy and your mind off of drugs. try to keep yourself busy and stay away from areas and situations that might encourage you to do drugs.
you might also need to be placed on different medication for your bipolar but talk to a professional about that

My brother is a drug-addict. It is one of the hardest things to overcome. I know that it is expensive, but rehab will help if you want to stop doing drugs, and it will help you figure out why you want to take drugs and deal with your problems. If you dont have the money I know that some churches are willing to pay for this. If that is not an option you should try to see a psychiatrist. They will help you understand your problems and help you to deal with them so you don’t have to numb yourself anymore. I know it is a very difficult road, but it is possible. Take it one step at a time. Seriously, you can do it! You should try to write in a journal everyday. Also, you definitely should go to AA meetings and you can get a sponsor too. Just look it up on the web for which city you are in to find out when and where meetings are. Your sponsor will help you out immensely! You will be able to call him or her whenever you are feeling this way and they will listen. they have been through it before so they are the best people for you to talk to. Hang in there
