My class ? Have your pick:

Classic Borderline, OCD, ADHS (i can handle this one, because i surely know the problem), Depression, Addictions to medicine (mainly amphetamines which basically are SPEED and if you brain isn't hardwired the other way around, like it is with ADHS you surely can't take these like smarties, but even if: you shouldn't), opiod dependance: TAKE YOUR PICKLE.

I got a lot of pickles. Actually i could be very less stressful: If they finally put a social worker or even better a fully studied psychologist at my side.

I will take opioid dependence for $500. I get a lot of work done on those substances or used to, using only small doses most of the time. Appetite suppressants? Sure. I'm planning to ask my doc for some of those to treat my borderline dementia.

Opiod dependency easy: Since we are seemingly playing jeopardy now. :)

Your cost for drugs explode from zero to 50 $ a day.

I could do this all day.

And dementia ? Gingko, my friend. Gingko.

I have other pain including conditions that would make the opioids welcome. There are different kinds of pain.

That sucks, don't blame anyone in pain for wanting to take opioids. If people want to abuse them for fun and get addicted that's on them but it has led doctors to not want to give them to people that actually need them.

The doctors take them when they need them but the hoi polloi (me) have to do without.That's all right. I know a place in SE Asia where I can buy them over the counter. But I can't go to SE Asia now.

I'd never go to that hellhole

I don't. But i also know what long-term opiod-use (not even abuse) does to a mind.

First-hand knowledge.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

yes but what does long term chronic pain with no relief do to a mind? Far worse.

Ethical considerations never were my strong suit. Point taken.

I just do what i do. And observe. And either do or don't give a fuck.

I am not into medicine or pharmacy. Or lets say only partly. And that is exactly where i belong.

the ideal situation is of course to be perfectly healthy, that becomes less likely especially as we age of course. We become a medical expert real quick when we get some sort of medical issue and go to a doctor who then blows you off. They're trained in medical school to assume everything is psychosomatic unless you keep coming back like 5 times. So then you have to do your own research, which of course is a dirty word these days. And what you find is horrifying.

I get your point.

See (since i'm also an Asperger's) : For me it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baclofen. They cut my access to this 1cent pill long ago.

But i got a lab. So you actually know what happened.

I totally can feel this. Anything above that: I take my fifth amendment rights.
