re: Recent conversation trouble

They are definitely not meant to be taken daily over a long period of time. More a short time crutch to help you. I basically completely disregarded that advice and got a serious dependence on both Oxy and Xanax. Methadone really helps me with the opiate addiction, but it kinda feels like kicking the can down the road idk how that's gonna end up. I've recently been slowing trying to reduce the amount of Xanax I take by really slowly tapering and I can only go so low before I hit a major wall.

You have a support group? Hopefully some other veterans can chime in and give advice on someone to help you come down from those drugs. Not sure how all that works.

Not really a druggie, just had my fare share of pretty much anything you can think of besides a needle and a spoon.

Yea. I mean I have great parents and go home fairly often when there isn't a LSU home game/something to do with friends like go out or what not. You know it's like in every group chat you have that one best friend, well I always tend to favor responding to him and his remarks instead of anyone else's and everyone notices or at least I think they do. I really need some useful advice for I'm most likely not going to a doctor because one I don't want to pay for the visit and two I don't want to waste my time over there.

Thanks for the insight. I love playin golf and am fairly gifted for it if I must say so myself. I'll probably go play today just for fricks sake. Most of my friends are either still on college or in the military or just too busy in their personal lives to just hop up and go for a road trip with me. I'm definitely an introvert, have no weird little hobbies like Xbox (which I used to love but it got old after college) or tv shows. I'm not really a movie guy but I enjoy a good action packed/suspense one at the theatre. I just have no real interest in anything. Fishing is what I really love but can't afford a boat yet because of financial goals. I usually go with my dad but it's been hard to coordinate lately as he's getting ready to retire and always super busy with his business. I hate physical activity but haven't gotten fat yet or a beer belly. I only weigh like 165 and can go run a mile with no problem whenever I really want basically but I literally hate doing it. Screw the gym because everyone in the place has a dick up their arse.

I would never compete because I didn't play in high school because of baseball season but I love going drink beer and play. I've played in a couple scramble tournaments and broke under par a couple times but I've never really played a super challenging course or anything like that. I know all the mechanics of the swing but have no drive to get really good or anything like that. Usually after work I have the frick it attitude and want to cook a fresh meal so I go to the grocery and normally don't get home to after 7 because of BR traffic.

Honestly sounds like you have developed social anxiety. Very common to develop later around 16-20 years old. Would read up on it and see if the symptoms sound like what you are experiencing.

FWIW, I also found that I became a lot less social after graduating from school, just because life kind of gets in the way of it all. basically, everyone kind of goes their separate way with work and family. I find that I honestly don't have a whole lot in common any more with folks other than those that I work with.

Hypothyroid vs depression vs anxiety vs ADD vs brain cancer vs nothing. You noticed a change,go see your doctor.
