Since you want results that will last, not just for a few weeks or a few months, but for a lifetime, The González Recovery Residences (The GRR) provide the support that you are looking for. The GRR Program is one of the most successful rehabilitation programs available; it is endorsed by Father Martin, co-founder of Father Martin’s Ashley and Terence T. Gorski, President of The Cenaps Corporation. The GRR provides a number of enjoyable and practical treatment programs for chemical dependency addiction. The substance abuse treatment programs are both affordable and effective. Drug abuse is a growing predicament in the world today. Addictions to drugs like alcohol and heroin are often difficult to overcome without professional help. Many parents, friends, teachers, family members and loved ones seek help from drug rehab facilities. The GRR relies on time tested principles and guidelines to help individuals successfully obtain and secure sobriety. Unfortunately, the long term success rate of a short term detox or short term drug and alcohol treatment centers is very low and individuals falling pray to relapse become discouraged. At The GRR however, chronic relapsers are finally able to find the support and practical experience they need in a real world setting.

Can family in-fighting lead to depression?

Question by Marie J: Could these be symptoms of depression? or anything else? Thanks for any help!!?
1. drastic change in sleep schedule (started during school, instead of going to sleep at 10:30/11:00, I went to bed no earlier than 1:30, and woke up at 5:45/6:00……every night)
2. strange eating habits. – would eat a lot one week, then have no appetite the next week, eating much less
3. weight loss/weight gain. I’m 5’4″ish…about a year ago, before all this stuff, I weighed about 110/112 or so. Since then, without sports/exercise/dieting, I’ve hit 102/103. My weight fluctuates a lot. In one week I can lose 2 or 3 pounds. It just goes back and forth now.
4. I often have trouble breathing…well…I feel like I can’t get a “full breath”
5. Sometimes I have trouble remembering things…like what I did just two days ago.
6. I have no interest in things that used to interest me (which makes me feel sad) …things just like doing things outside/swimming, etc…
7. Sometimes I’ll be sarcastic/have an attitude with my family, and then I feel really badly 🙁
8. I have uncontrollable/disturbing thoughts. I’ll think about a family member getting harmed or something, and then I just can’t stop.
9. Lately I’ve been feeling super irritable. The weirdest things just set me off. I keep it to myself because I know it’s irrational, but certain things drive me crazy.
10. Self-pity
11. Extreme sensitivity. example..During random movie previews, i’ll start tearing up and feel really sad.
12. Urges to cry. This rarely happens, but there have been times where I just break down. There’s usually a reason, but it still comes on pretty strong.
13. Constant stress. I’m always stressed about something…even if I don’t know what that something is. I don’t think I’ve had a stress free day in ages.
14. Extreme paranoia. I always feel like someone is watching me. I have to have all doors locked, my blinds are closed at night. When I walk into a restaurant, well…any public place…I feel like all eyes are on me and I feel really paranoid.
15. I don’t like going to sleep anymore :/ …I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I’ve tried tv, no tv, calming music, guided meditation…The other night it took me 4 hours to fall asleep. I was trying the guided meditation method, and during it, I started breathing really heavily/rapidly, then started freaking out…it felt like some kind of attack. It felt like suffocation? that’s how I’d describe it. I asked my mom, and she and several of her family members used to suffer from panic/anxiety attacks…
16. During school, my work ethic decreased immensely. I stopped studying, I started homework at 9, or the day it was due, just major procrastination. I just didn’t care at all. My grades were still B’s/A’s in AP/honors classes, but I definitely could have done better.
17. I have a low self-confidence. There are only a few things that I do in life that I feel confident about.
18. “Hopelessness” … I feel like I won’t get into the college I want to get into…I have no idea what career path I want to choose. I just feel like I’ll go nowhere =/
19. While I AM happy, I still feel like there is something missing. I constantly have this little feeling deep down that I’m not truly happy. I’ll have good days, I love my family, friends, boyfriend more than anything, but still…I feel this constant sense of loneliness. To sum it up, I just haven’t felt the same happiness in months that I used to feel.

Question by northernoutdoorsisgreat: How has grief, any loss of any type changed your life and what did you do to overcome it?

Answer by LJC
My first experience with grief was in childhood when I realized that I did not have the same kind of parental support that other children received from their parents. From an early age I never really considered my parents as a resource, guide, or anyone I could count on. Quite the opposite, I was cognizant of the fact I could not. I left home to go to college and education changed my life for the better. There is a certain grief that goes with transcending an ignorant family. The isolation of having changed so much that they are not able to relate to me, or care too, is very sad.
