Dude - you have PTSD.

There is nothing inherently wrong with you. You are struggling through the crap that was forced on you.

The good news is that there have been very, very good strides in PTSD therapy in the last few years.

You have a powerful story to share and I know you are a strong person because most people would have already crumbled under this level of stress.

Here's an online thing for PTSD.

Also call your state or county mental health line.

The big question is whether the DEA and other government agencies are actually doing things to stem the opioid crisis or are they showboating by shutting down doctor's offices because it is easy and safe to target them.

Ask that question.

Also ask why it is far easier and CHEAPER to get heroin than pain medication.

A bunch of my friends are actors and great at it. Every now and again they will talk about how what they do is so narcissistic and that it doesn't provide any "good". I think this is why Hollywood people do the charity thing. Misplaced guilt.

And then I remind them of the hundreds of times that I JUST COULDN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE and instead of drinking and walking into traffic, I would go to a movie which would give me just enough of a break to keep going. Or all the times that I was getting depressed and a comedian or book or comic strip made me laugh and kept the black dog at bay for just a bit longer.

Entertainment matters. Social commentary matters. Chode jokes matter.
