People can say what they want but stuff like this is why I love being apart of The Big Blue Nation!
We take care of our own, you can bet your *** on that!

We gotta get this to Coach Pope’s eyes.
Thanks brother. I have learned that if you wanna stay clean you have to talk about your addictions and face them head on.
Quitting is definitely a choice but it took the help of many other drugs to do. I know many are stuck in the ways of cold turkey but sometimes Medically assisted treatment works miracles. Even those who stay on them can be productive members of society again. Anyways thanks to all the positive comments from everyone here! Let’s focus on the real issue of the thread and help our friend @Ripamaru .
Not the same but I used to have crippling anxiety for absolutely no apparent reason. I would wake up dry heaving, and puking stomach acid every morning. Sometimes I couldn't even leave the house to go to visit my best friend. When I would eat at restaurants after I'd eat I'd have to stay in the bathroom for 20 minutes or so to calm myself down so I wouldn't puke. The crippling shame that came along with it made me not even seek treatment and just try to deal with it for over a decade.
Thankfully now I'm mostly unaffected by anxiety, but I've found taking away it's power of embarrassment and shame over me has been incredible. I'll always share and talk with anyone who has those types of problems and speak proudly of how they can be overcome. So I definitely agree. Embrace your faults and never let the reminder of them fade into obscurity. The remembrance is a powerful preventative for relapse.
I’m glad you have found peace, I have anxiety still to this day. Not crippling but I do understand how it can get. Keep it up!
Cool with me! Thanks for the help.
Sure do wish I could help you my friend!
Will be praying my heart out tonight for things to get better for you. Times are horrible right now and I am also having it hard financially but able to still work thank God. This site has helped me through the years to forget about worrying so I wanna thank each and everyone of you as well.
The BBN family are the greatest fans in the world!

What really worked for me was some weird whacky **** that seems like it could never work. But it's called EMDR or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. A therapist will have you listen to a wooshing tone and follow a light with your eyes while walking you through visualizations of scenarios that bring you anxiety.
Sounds crack pot but I haven't taken an SSRI in over 6 years and have had like 1 panic attack.
Man. Tell me about it. I have OCD and the anxiety that comes with that is unbearable.
$3,961 this fast!! BBN is awesome. Special shout-out to Chris and Cindy Cruz with the 1K donation. So generous. Everyone here is amazing. @Ripamaru i hope this small gesture so far keeps you going for a little bit my friend. I have a feeling more is on the way.
@bradyjames can you help with that at all?
Updated Link for the bump. Those who come to the bottom of the page so far.
Man good idea, if Pope got this out it could explode. I know it’s not this reply but I had seen it up above and couldn’t find the post lol.

I'm hoping Friday or Saturday after I get paid I will be able to help out as well.
R.I.P. to your son. Awesome way to honor his memory.
Hope you can get to a place of some peace, **** sucks hard.
Sent and shared on Facebook! Prayers for your family, brother.

Someone explain this. Looks like David's dad died in 2009. Not sure how he recently fell.

His dad’s name is Jim. I also see nothing about a wife DeDra on there. Maybe a different Grizzle?
My dad Jim fell a few days ago and is suffering from a brain bleed. He has been moved to a nursing home probably permanently. The latest in a series of tragedies for our family. Our boys lost their favorite uncle DJ last year. He passed away at age 30. Their other grandpa a few months earlier. My aunt Melody
who were were really close to before that.
Where do you see Hubert?

IDK man, all I know is I found a David Grizzle that lived in Tennessee too. I’m sure he’s not the only David Grizzle in America. Looks like he has had 3 go fund me’s an over a 5 year period for this cancer. I have no reason to not believe the dude. If it’s not legit no sweat off my back. I’ve got $20-$30 to burn. I’d rather it go to someone in need if I got it. Not like I’m a personal friend of him or even know him well on here, just trying to help out a fellow BBN. I don’t wanna see anyone get hustled but I don’t wanna go off just a google search either.
The obituary from 2009 also says "David Grizzle, Siloam Springs, Arkansas". Questionable
All I am saying is make sure this person is on up and up. Before donating. I would like an explanation of two dads.
Man, almost a whole page of a thread without someone showing their CDS.
If any thread could do it, it was this one. And it couldn’t pull it off.
Sent a little, OP. hope things improve for your family.
You will have to ask the OP my friend. I think you have that right. Everyone has the choice to donate and what info they need to make that decision.
I’m praying and though I know you don’t need another task to add to your list, I’m wondering if you have a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in your location. They have longer term plans for housing, but may point to short term solutions too. As others have added, calling local churches is a good choice; call as many as you can (and if any church acts indifferent about helping, please don’t let it discourage you; that’s on them and not at all how God feels about you). I’d also be in touch with the family resource center in your child’s school; the person in charge would be a worthwhile contact to make. Ask if the school or your local hospital or health department has a social worker you can talk with too as they should know connections to aid. Feeding America for extra food on top of EBT is worth contacting, if there’s an affiliate in your area. The challenge I’ve often seen when trying to work with people who need a hand up during hard times isn’t a lack of community and state/federal agency resources, but a lack of help from people who can connect them faster with those resources.

EMDR is a wonderfully helpful therapy for so many people afflicted with trauma/PTSD and anxiety.
Agreed. Much respect. I fought my own demons and wouldn't be where I am without God and family. Anyway, just appreciate your genuineness.
