Hi y'all, I'm having a really stressful day. 2 years ago today my mentally ill 24 year old grandson (addicted to opioids also) was murdured in an act of drug related violence. He was dealing drugs and a competing drug dealer bashed his brains out with a fire place poker.
I hate mental illness, I hate drug abuse. I wish I could wave a magic wand and instantly heal all of us who suffer with mental illness and/or substance abuse problems. I'm so sad and angry. Usually I'm ok and but today it's triggering me big time

Sorry for your loss.
All the things addiction destroys, in so many ways, It's awful.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

I'm sorry for your loss. A year and a half ago I lost my husband to drug addiction (he overdosed on opiates). I understand that anniversaries are hard. Be kind to yourself. Do something nice for yourself today. Last year on the one year anniversary of his death I got a memorial tattoo. You don't have to do something that extreme but maybe treat yourself to some good chocolate or something you like to do.
