> I have been suffering from depression for 18 years now which until four years ago it was managable with medication. But four years ago my condition took a turn for worse and a whole new set of symptoms appeared. I have become practically cripled and have severe, very severe adhedonia. I sleep or at least stay in bed for some sixteen to eighteen hours a day. Medication has minimal effect. I have used opiods on and off for several years but have managed not to be physically at least to become addicted. I have used heroine on four or five ocassions. I am very scared of addiction but it is the only thing which makes me well enough to carry out the most basic things like having a shower, cleaning the place or even write this message. I know that kicking heroine has its own depression symptom so I only use it sparingly, say once a month when things get really bad that I can't stand my own smell or the place gets so filthy. I call it my holiday or coming up for air because it is the only time when I feel anything like normal.
