drug addiction - Important information about methadone symptoms and side effects.

How can I fix my life? No motivation, depression, drug addiction, anxiety etc.?
Background I come from a good family, have completed college, worked, and am currently pursuing further study. Currently unemployed.I'm turning 22 later this year and my anxiety is tearing me apart. I've had depression on and off since high school. I've had problems socialising with other people since primary school and I think this has contributed to my other problems. All the people that I've become friends with over my life seem to grow distant towards me after a couple of years, and I fear that is happening again. I also have some people in my life who act friendly towards me but I'm almost certain that they are just using me. I try to avoid them but they still contribute to my depression.I have great difficulty talking to girls, and haven't had a relationship last longer than a fortnight. I consider myself unattractive and the lack of interest girls show in me reinforce this. I sought counselling about 3 years ago and tried some mild anti depressants which didn't work for me. I started smoking when I turned 19 and also did a lot of binge drinking around this time.I turned to drugs a year later figuring that I didn't have much to lose, and I felt much better about myself for some time. I became addicted to marijuana which helped me deal with my anxiety to a degree. However this put more stress on my lungs and I no longer enjoy it as much as I used to. When I tried ecstasy I became completely addicted to it. I'd never experienced happiness on such a scale before and was soon taking 10 pills per week this was stupid and dangerous. It didn't last long as pure ecstasy is hard to obtain where I live. I haven't had MDMA for about 6 months but I still think about it at least twice a week.A few months ago my brother betrayed my trust which hurt me deeply. I can't forgive him at the moment but if I can sort my life out I may be able to in the future. I tried to commit suicide once when I was drunk, but it was a poor effort as I don't want to put my family through that. I still have suicidal thoughts from time to time.I want to quit smoking and doing drugs as I feel like I'm slowly " dumbing myself down" and I feel unhealthy. I feel like I have no talent, and only enjoy things that are bad for my health. My main problem is that I can't get motivated to make the changes I need to make. I just want to live a life that is carefree and reasonably happy. Maybe this isn't the right place to ask but it's worth a shot I guess.

How can I help my boyfriend while he continues to recover from drug addiction?
my boyfriend is currently five months clean off of meth among other drugs, but meth was the big problem , and i am so proud of him, however, he still struggles greatly, and the more i learn about meth, the more scared that i become that he will relapse. i worry since the recovery statistics are so low and because of the damage it does to a person. he has professional help from a therapist that he enjoys, and we have finally gotten him to agree to a group program. he has a job and he is doing well for himself, but when he gets down and irrational, or when he is up all night with nightmares or drug cravings, what can i do to help him? basically i am asking, how can i help calm him, or does anyone know a way to help someone get through cravings? Thank you also, as experienced before, many will probably suggest that he is not clean and not to trust him, etc, but he is regularly drug tested, so i have more proof than just his word that he is in fact clean. Thanks

How is alcoholism and drug addiction different?
My son's father is a drug addict and I almost never allow him to see his father. One of my best friends is an alcoholic and I am trying to help her through it. They both act very similar and I'm wondering if there is any difference between being a drug addict and an alcoholic. Both can be violent and I don't ever allow them around my son when they are high or drunk. It's very hard not to distance myself from these people totally.

Is it ever too late to get a person help with drug addiction?
I'm just curious to see what everyone thinks...My uncle is in his late 50's and he has been an addict for several years. He seems to have severe psychological problems due to his constant use of crack cocaine. His siblings, who are known to be uneducated about the effects of drug abuse, claim that he is " too far gone." They don't believe that anything would be able to help him... Basically, they are giving up. I can see that he is showing signs of chronic paranoia and schizophrenia, but is it ever too late to get a person help with an addiction?Thanks for the help

My boyfriend has a drug addiction!?
i just found out that my boyfriend has been doing meth every weekend. he has always had a problem with meth long before i got with him. but he told me he would get help. i thought he was doing ok, though he did it every once in a while i thought he was starting to try. i have already left him once for this and he said he quit and i really thought he did. i think he did for a while but he decided that since he had been doing good that it was ok for him do a little bit. he thinks doing a dime is not a big deal. i really need some advice. we have been together for a year and he just wont stop. i want him to go to rehab but i dont know how to talk him into going. i live in fort worth texas, so if anyone knows of a good place for him to go or if there is a way to have him taken by someone else where he has no choice, please tell me, im so lost.
