> Chicago,Thank-you so much for getting back to me and talking the real way how just it is.You have brought just a glimpse of happiness you have given me as im often alone and i dont know what to do next,i get lost then low and lower,its like a roundabout.I have to just tell you i have been to chicago,oh back in aprox 1991.I had been in new york for 9 months and 1 day i just needed a rest from the mad crazy city,even though i do love ny so much.So i got the greyhound bus from port authority going west,and off i went.It was great,i have flew to huston and los angeles mainly from london,but to see the usa by land stopping at all the citys was amazing.We went along to pitsburg and i cant remember much else except we were due in chicago at midnight.We got there at the right time,i remember seeing all the skyscrapers in the distance and the sears tower,it was fab.Im sorry to say i didnt get to see to much as i only had 2 days there,then off on the bus west again.I went to the top of the sears tower,and the lake is amazing so close to the city,it was a lot like new york,only the city itself was a bit smaller,but the trams and hotdogs,everything was great.I met opera but that was another story and time.So it is true everything you said,but the thing is i just cant help is being so addicted to amphetamine.I know its a bad drug,takes all my money,my driving license has been took off me,and so on,i know it has ruined my life.Totally ruined it due to the nhs no second thought.Yesterday i wrote a 2 page letter,explained all i had been through,and took it over to wythenshawe hoospital,just near where i live.It was the physiciatrist section.I handed the letter-in at reception,and the receptionist told me she would take it up to where all the diffrent phsyciatrists read mail,and hopefully i will get a decent dr there who can help me.I also just wrote to my gp but he hasnt got back to me yet-typical,i wonder why.I am in manchester uk,which is north west england,like ireland is the next land across the sea.We are 180 miles away from london,80 miles away from birmingham.Thanks again cheers steve
Dear Steve,
Thanks for writing back! I'm glad you wrote the letter to the psychiatrists at the hospital and I will hope with all my heart that one of them (a very good one) takes you in for treatment. I understand your addiction to amphetamines, it's crazy, but it's impossible to quit on your own. Maybe your new psychiatrist can get you into addiction counseling which has helped to many people. And maybe you can pick up a less dangerous addiction to replace the amphetamine one, like me, I'm addicted to picking at sores on my scalp. Weird, huh? But I just can't stop no matter how hard I try. Oh, and I'm also addicted to McDonald's chocolate cookies. They are to die for. If you are to free to travel, maybe you could come live here in the Chicago area for a while and see my psychiatrist and therapist. Just a thought. But you have no idea how much they have helped me. I have so many doctors in the past, but I finally found ones that are reeally helping. Just when I was reaching to point of making an end to it all. Don't give up; you have friends here, including me, and I will talk to you whenever I can. I check the board at least once a day. Hang in there, know that I'm thinking of you, and good luck with finding a good psychiatrist.
All my best,
Kat
