This thread may be out of place but I feel like reaching out. I'm a drug addict I have not used for almost 3 years, until recently. It's unfortunate but I'm also skitzo effectivel Wich means I'm bi polar skitzophranic. Anyway I haven't been taking my meds, I relasped then had a meltdown, leading to CPS getting involved. Well if I don't go the crisis center and be evaluated I will not be allowed to see my kids. So off I go this is round 6 with the funny farm View attachment 804477 ps no vaping allowed but for my baby's I'll do anything .Wish me luck my fellow vapornaughts
I wish you the best, Lordron. May I suggest that you be prudent in posting pics of your children online. I know I'm being extra cautious but I've seen parents get called out for putting their children in positions that the state considers risky. Ya' never know and it's better to be safe than sorry. Try to keep your mind in protection mode (for you and your kids). Good luck.

try your best
And if it’s not good enough, find a new improved best. Therapy improves all the time. There’s a good chance there’s more better help there than there used to be. You did it and held it once, you can do it again.

Good luck and take it one day at a time. I’ve been to the “funny farm” myself several times for dual diagnosis-addiction issues and bipolar 2.

Do what you need to do to keep your children in your life. I know how immensely difficult it is. Having a professional to talk to has kept me upright and moving forward (or at least not sinking) for over 5 years now.

You can do it!!

I'm really sorry.... But round six?

I was really fortunate my first hospitalization. Bipolar folks kept coming in because they went off their meds. My main thought was "That is NEVER gonna be me." I was like, "I will marry my meds and take them until death if that's what it takes to never get hospitalized."

The irony is, I did get re-hospitalized from time to time, but from bad reactions too NEW meds.

I feel for you though, mental illness sucks and so do the meds that treat them. But, you gotta keep AT it, until something works.

It took me a LONG time to get stable, but once I did, life was so much better.

I am wishing you much luck and success and that you get your kiddos back but DO NOT return for round seven. It is not fair to your kids, to be brutally honest and I say that because I've been there.

I would take a jillion side effects over not seeing my kid.

At the end of the day it's a personal chose it's not a disease that's just a excuse to relapse. Most people that I know where I'm from are either on something or judgemental. So my best option is to be deamed sane enough to be around my children. Then remove myself from this place and start over my wife says she's done that she's doing this because she loves me will always be there for me, just not as my wife but as the father of her children. the picture is from last year I was my daughter's tball coach.
Not to get too personal, but well, here we are... if alcohol has been a part of your story I would suggest trying AA. You are less likely to get hooked up with people who are using. AA certainly isn’t perfect, but if you have a desire to stop, it could help you. And it’s good to get the support and get out of your own head (ponder someone else’s story, be of service, etc.).

A lot of the guys I grew up with got hooked on smack, they would try to clean up at NA, or a treatment center and instead end up with new suppliers.

Best of luck!

IDK if y'all have ever seen someone on ...., once you get blasted you loose control of the muscles in your mouth. That's what's happening I'm "jawing" and my tounge jumps around unctrolably
Tardive? Ouch! That’s the bugbear of anyone on neurology meds. It can actually be whole body too.

I'm doing good me and my wife are going to get a divorce. I'm fine with that, I'm not going to talk crap I do love her and my kids. My father is a alcholic I can't do that my thing is drugs I smoked m.e.t h and synthetic w e.ed for a long time, when my wife got pregnant I quit.
Ouch, that’s rough. Try to separate yourself from people and places you associate with using and do your best. Wishing you a fresh start, cheers.
