I also wanted to let you know what I learned about Mehtadone. It usually doesn't take full effect until it has been in your system for 72 hours. I hope that it will start to help you.

Something else I have learned about Methadone is that doctors who are weary of writing out regular opiode pain meds usually write out Methadone. If it is not helping you might try to find another pain clinic.

I used to cut when things were really bad and I didn't know how to deal with everything going on. I do understand the relief you get from it and how it feels better than what you're going through. Sometimes things get so overwhelming and we never learned the appropriate coping skills. I'm glad you're getting help, it is so important.

I haven't cut for many years. Between therapy and a 12 step program, Ive been able to stop and learn new copng skills. I'm here if you need to talk. You can pm me anytime! Is there anyone you can talk to at home, before you cut? If not, come here and talk to me!! It's better to get support before it happens.

I'm here for you! Your friend,Chris

Even if I have not been posting here, I do check my email and look to see if I have any pm's here. That goes for anyone here that ever just needs to talk with someone. I will try to be there for anyone as much as I can.
