Since 1991 I’ve tried everything, the docs at TBI clinic had it under control, then due to opioid crisis, I suddenly became branded a junkie. Now they’ve even taken away the anti depressant. Are they trying to kill me? I don’t have a primary care doctor, he uses threats and intimidation for me to just go away. If I try and talk to a therapist, anything I say to her gets broadcasted to the whole v a . Why won’t they make the distinction between me, with all the proof of damage, and a damn junkie. Suicide would be a great escape, but god won’t let me. What am I supposed to do. I’ve never been so alone before in my life. Help me somebody, just don’t call me a loser junkie..?

Jesus guys this sucks. If you are in NC and need therapy reach out to me at [login to see] and I will try to set you up with pro bono therapy via teletherapy using my doxy.me platform. If I can’t fit you in then I will try to get you set up with someone pro bono. If you are not in NC I’ll do my very best to try to get you set up somewhere in some way. I realize I am making a big offer here that might mean I get an overwhelming response. I will just ask for your patience as I attempt to reply to your email. Thank you.-Jim Workman

You're not a junkie bc you have pain that only an opiate can help. It depends on the pain and the doctors knowledge. My grandpa had stage 4 lung cancer and oxycontin wasn't even helping his pain, he needed direct morphine. Was he a junkie? People need to stop judging and let others get the help they need. Just make sure to not let that help get our of control. Take care.
