Sometimes when I use heroin, it has ...Howdy Gleds.<br /><br />Sometimes when I use heroin, it has a profound effect on me. I feel happy, confident and most importantly - optimistic. I start to feel like I actually have a future. This feeling usually lasts for many hours until I go to bed. Of course, it's all gone when I get up the next morning.<br /><br />The idea behind using smack was once for the high but now it's to fight off depression. Sure, there's still an initial buzz but feeling normal like I once did is the ultimate goal.<br /><br />It sounds like you might sometimes have a similar experience to me when you use heroin. Feeling content and buoyant which gives you the urge to do things like cooking, phoning friends, cleaning, writing or other hobbies/interests etc. Like you mentioned, it's sort of like speed which makes no sense at all.<br /><br />If only the useless fucking government would allow doctors to prescribe diamorphine for depression to addicts or long term pain patients, then we might see thousands of them rejoin the workforce and become part of the community once again. It's a no brainer ... Diamorphine can effectively kill off depression for many addicts. Why commit them to a life of shit medications like methadone when we have such effective solutions like heroin? I was nearly driven to the point of suicide when I was on methadone and it took some carefully crafted manoeuvring and sheer luck that I was able to switch to Slow Release Oral Morphine (SROM) instead. And although SROM literally saved my life, it doesn't come close to diamorphine.<br /><br /><i><b>"I'm very well aware of how sad it is to rely on heroin as an antidepressant, but it's the only thing that really works for me. I was in such a negative frame of mind that the staying clean aspect felt pretty meaningless. I felt like an idiot and a loser for using and had so many negative thoughts in my head it barely seemed worthwhile going down the road to get the drug. But I did. And I felt better."</b></i><br /><br />Why should you feel ashamed to admit that a certain medication alleviates your depression just because it has been demonised by anti-drug zealots, religious nutters and self serving politicians? Drugs that make people feel happy have been constantly rejected as not having any medical use all throughout history; led mainly by religious groups like the Temperance Movement and law enforcement agencies. MDMA and cannabis is a classic example.<br /><br />Anyway, take care Gleds and we'll talk soon.Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331435244789111209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-28961326625336490552011-04-18T22:19:54.028+01:002011-04-18T22:19:54.028+01:00AKELAMALU: I FELT WAY BETTER AT THE WEEKEND THAN D...AKELAMALU: I FELT WAY BETTER AT THE WEEKEND THAN DURING THE WEEK, I'D BEEN FEELING REALLY LOUSY<br /><br />WELSHCAKES: HAPPY SPRING CELEBRATION TO YOU TOO!Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-22108133237385275732011-04-18T21:15:07.997+01:002011-04-18T21:15:07.997+01:00Happy Easter, Gleds. xxHappy Easter, Gleds. xxWelshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-46963705701075480882011-04-17T19:40:11.430+01:002011-04-17T19:40:11.430+01:00I'm glad to hear you're feeling better m&#...I'm glad to hear you're feeling better m'dear.Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-36233149612419670142011-04-17T05:43:07.267+01:002011-04-17T05:43:07.267+01:00I hope it stays GONE then no need for that shitty ...I hope it stays GONE then no need for that shitty heroin.
