Not sure about anything. Mostly just thinking of ending it. Kind of shellshocked. Bargaining, like if I win the lottery tonight then I won't.

Could have some hope but I see no path back. No one can do this but myself, but the self feels irreparably damaged. Not by the break-up, but by the unnecessary steps to erase me. I wanted to preserve the friendship -- it's rare they survive -- but that's becoming corrupted by bitterness. But mostly the strange rigidity, the refusal to communicate, the hostility, the use of third-parties for basic transfer of information. All unneeded and unkind.

I can't even begin to explain how dehumanizing the rehab was. Why is psychiatry still allowed to deny a patient their liberty? The 'addictionologist' MDs there were all psychiatrists. Ugly history of "we know what's good for you." Eventually you become, by necessity, servile.
