Hi everyone!
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I’m hoping for a bit of advice or other peoples experience.
I know cocaine withdrawal isn’t usually considered physically dangerous in the same way as other substances but I’m worried about how I’m feeling right now and wondering if this sounds like withdrawal or if I’m coincidentally sick. I have been using cocaine heavily every day for a long time. I had a break before in the past and didn’t experience this, but this time I’ve stopped and I’m currently around 48 hours without any, which is the longest I’ve gone in almost a year. Since yesterday I’ve felt awful physically and mentally. I’ve had, bad stomach pain/ache, headache, shaking/trembling, woke up drenched in sweat, vomiting and feeling mentally terrible. I expected the mental crash, but the physical symptoms are what’s worrying me. Can cocaine withdrawal itself cause this, or does this sound more like I coincidentally picked up an illness at the same time?
Thanks in advance:)

TL;DR My partner (26M) and I (25F) have only been together for almost one year. He has never been a fan of my job but the last few months it’s been really affecting how our relationship is. He’s a police officer and I work with convicted predators helping them reintegrate into society. He said it goes against everything he does, he help gets these people off the street and I put them back out there. He’s asked me to change jobs. I understand where he’s coming from and it’s not the first time people have disagreed with my job, but i enjoy what I do and I don’t want to change career paths.
It’s now affecting our relationship. He won’t ask me how my day was and has openly said he does not care how my day was as he disagrees with what I do. He constantly makes comments, digs and just puts me down about it.

Hi everyone! I’m 25F
Im not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask but I’m just looking for a bit of advice to see if this is something that needs to be looked into or if it’s just hormonal.
For the past 4 months I’ve had ongoing daily pain in both breasts, they feel tender, swollen and heavy, I have always had this a few days before my period so figured it was just that, however it’s been daily and not just around my period anymore. They also seem a bit bigger than usual not sure if it’s because they’re swollen? Also, my left breast has bulging veins which weren’t there before. I don’t know if that means anything. I have lost weight recently so if anything I thought they would have got smaller. I don’t know if it’s just hormonal or if it needs to be checked out as it’s been going on for a while now?
Any advice appreciated, thank you:)

No chance of pregnancy as well.

I don’t want to give too many details so it’s quite vague but recently there was an incident which resulted in someone getting hurt. At the time I did all i could but looking back there’s things I should have done differently. I feel very guilty and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s literally all I can think about and I can’t distract myself from it and just keep replaying everything

Hi!
I’m not sure if anyone can help with this at all but I just have concerns on the amounts of medications I’m on at a young age.
25 female 48kg. My medications are Fluoxetine, Aripiprazole, prucalopride, diazepam prochlorperazine and Hyoscine butylbromide and currently taking short term antibiotics.
I worry I’m taking too many medications and I’d like to cut down on the amount. When I’ve mentioned cutting down my meds before my dr they get concerned about my mental health? I can’t get an appointment for a while for a medication review but I was wondering if anyone can tell me their opinions on the mix of medications I take?

Not really a medical issue, but I have been to my GP quite a lot over the past few months due to ongoing issues that still haven’t been resolved. Each time I go, I feel rushed, dismissed and told my bloods are all normal despite ongoing debilitating symptoms. Today when I went, my notes were up on the computer and I noticed in bold red wording ‘frequent attender’ maybe I’m being dramatic but it didn’t make me feel good at all and now I feel like I’m bothering them too much and they see me as a problem patient. I was just wondering if this is normal/common practice and if I should be worried about it?

Hi all!

I’ve been back and forth with my GP and gastro team for months, every time I go I get told ‘suspected gastroparesis’ however they are refusing to do actual tests for it. I’m vomiting every time I eat, in so much pain, cannot go to the toilet and so many symptoms I’m really struggling with. I have lost a lot of weight as well and I’m now borderline underweight from being overweight only a few months ago. I keep getting prescribed different antisickness medications, laxatives and now prucalopride. But I’m still struggling. I went back to GP again today to be told my bloods are fine and I’m not ill enough for tests to need to be done for an actual diagnosis.
Can I ask how everyone’s experience was getting a diagnosis and support?
Obviously it’s just suspected so could even be something else causing these problems but I just want answers!

Used to have a good career, good position and salary, not overly long, around 6 years. During that time i progressed into higher roles in different companies and found it pretty easy to get interviews and pass them etc. Then had a 4 month hospital stay followed by expected 6-12 month recovery so decided to quit my job during this time (Benefits was more than sick pay lol) it’s been around 18 months and now I’m ready to work I’m finding it very hard to get even get an interview for jobs I’m under qualified for. Any advice?

I can’t sleep they will see it and break in to harm me while I’m asleep I don’t know who they are and I have to end it myself before they do I tried to get help I called police and told them they’re going to break in to harm me and the police won’t believe me they didnt arrest them they came into my house when I told them not to and they wouldn’t listen and still forced me of my house and took me to the hospital and now no one will let me leave everyone is on it to set me up for harm no one is helping

I’m struggling with substance abuse, I feel mentally and physically unwell all the time because of it, but I can’t stop. I hate it, it makes me feel awful, but I can’t stop myself and I’m terrified. No one knows about it so I’m completely alone. I can’t cope anymore and I just want to end it.
