I just wanted to say wow this community is amazing! Dee that wasn't some number you randomly had in your pocket!
MLC you have to fight for this work every angle when you were in detox did they do a complete psych work up? I don't mean this offensively on the contrary I worry that there may be other issues that need to be worked on concurrently with your sobriety

That cannot be done, and you'll do it

MLC, I think we were here the other day. Are you using any of the resources that are available to you? I see that you have started to participate on the forum which is wonderful. How about taking care of the kids, and getting things in order around the house? Try to get out of this emotional place and work towards getting better. Did you call about your ED? Are you showing your husband that you are working a program of some sort? May I ask what you are doing for recovery?

Mid, it's hard. I know. I don't have kids or family close around me, so I don't know that. But I do absolutely know that your husband and kids love you and need you. It might seem helpless through the withdrawal and being on your own, but use what you have, and get through it for them. Just know that in the future, you'll be glad you did.

There's definitely more to it I think, I mean besides the ed.
Tomsteve. I haven't spoken to our pastor lately apart from quickly at church. He said to my husband that all our problems are 'out of his league.'
Thanks dee for the links.

Thank you. I feel like an idiot letting it all out in here. I just don't really have anywhere else where I can, apart from the counsellor.
I so wish I could move back to the city and slot back into the Na fellowship.

We all have our moments MLC. I was having one heck of a day myself. Sooo thankful I am about to go to bed. My husband has asked me to start yoga again for my headspace. We will have class on Saturday. Baby steps in the right direction for all of us.

I'm glad you let it all out here this is a safe place to "scream" for help! We are all rooting for you! It is my hope that you can get proper medical attention!
This is just my experience but I will tell you this not so little story. My husband drank and used marihuana from the age of 12-27 HEAVILY. At 27 he was put in a heart transplant list and told he would most likely not see 28 due to congestive heart failure at 27!!!!!!!! He spent 2 months in the hospital waiting for a new ticker. He quit everything that day and slowly over the course if a year made an almost full recovery without needing a transplant. Fast forward 12 years and (11/2012). His heart failure came back!!!!! He wasn't using any drugs or alcohol for 12 years. We don't know why it came back probably all the damage was there but his doctors were NEVER informed by him that he suffered extreme anxiety!
When he was in the ICU I ordered a complete psych eval for him partly because he didn't want to live through this again and partly because I knew we had to treat the anxiety.
His cardiologist said that living in constant anxious state is like doing cocaine all day long same hormones released.he fought me tooth and nail not to go on ssri type meds. But they worked amazing took a few months to see the results. He again doing well taking a ton of cardiac meds but doing well.
My point after that long winded post is mental health issues can TRULY hurt you physically. You can't properly live a happy sober life if your medical team isn't getting the whole picture. My husband would certainly not be in the cardiac health he is today if he did not look in the mirror and treat the issue that had caused him to start medicating initially.
I want so badly for you to get proper care but you have to want it too! I'm always around if you need a cheerleader feel free to PM me!

I have always had mental issues I guess. Since age 7....OCD, addictions, eds, depression, obsessions, whatever else. I would like to actually find out what's wrong with me and be able to work on it. Do all addicts get suicidal and crazy when they get clean???? It happens to me everytjme. I'm on anti depressants now and I thought they were working but today was ridiculous and scary.
The GPS want to throw meds at me and I can't find a psych. I tried so hard in detox to see the psych there.
Thanks again for your post
