re: the opioid crises has taken a turn for the worse

As I have stated in other threads before. The lowest point of my life was when I had to leave work that I loved only to be told that I could no longer be able to perform the task required. I had 2 years of short term disability and then had to go on full on SSI disability. The thought that I was no longer able to provide for my family in a way that I was raised to honorable tormented me day and night. It wasn't until I found the right doctors and even then it took 3 years of trying different meds that I could get a mix that made me somewhat functional again. Now I have started a small business to help fill the down time and start to mend my mind from the years of abuse I put myself through because I felt nothing but less than for having to go on disability.

So when someone says I'm unhappy or miserable has no idea what they speaking of and I hope they never have to find out what torment a man can do to himself because what he though was his life had been stripped away. I'm happier than I've ever been and feel like in some small way I can be a light of hope for others like me. Now if the CDC, FBI and DEA would get off our nuts and lets us go back to some sense of normalcy we could be way more productive with our time.
