Haha I’m already a lot less innocent than I seem, Ah no I’m sorry I missed the shit starting conversation. I’ve just scanned through and saw a high looking Goofy so God knows what you’ve been talking about 
I love the randomness of these conversations.

. That is quite late though by my standards at the moment now that I’ve got my son.

And now, I'm about to get extremely nerdy on you both and explain why this happens :P
Reason people's eyes are so wide when they're going through it is because they have a bunch of adrenalin and cortisol flowing through their system, and a severe lack of dopamine. The body is literally in fight or flight mode.

Ah right, that’s really interesting. I love finding out about stuff so feel free to nerd away. Withdrawal sounds awful, I’ve only ever seen it depicted in tv and films so I have no idea what it feels like. So is there trembling with it as well? That seems to be something that’s always associated with heroin withdrawal. I’m assuming that would be because of the adrenalin too.
Withdrawal symptoms will mainly be down to the effects opiods have on the noradrenergic and dopamine system mainly via the mu-opiod receptors in some of the neural pathways in the brain. Once bound, opiods tend to alter the balance of circulating noadrenaline (norephinephrine in the USA) and dopamine levels. If removed suddenly, then it will feel as if the body has tried to overcompensate in it's desire to regain "normal" neurotransmitter levels. Call it a rebound effect if you will and this explains the rationale for a gradual tapering down of opiods (as well as oher drugs) so as to avoid hardcore withdrawal symptoms.
In the case of opiods, they tend to reduce noradrenaline release. If opiods are no longer present, then the result would be an increase in the activity of noradrenaline release which can lead to the appearance of withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, muscle cramps, piloerection, diarrhoea, anxiety etc.
Additionally, the mesolimbic system is also affected which is concerned with dopamine levels. Removal of opiods leads to a downshift of dopamine release causing dysphoria, depressed mood and drug craving.
Thank you and that concludes the lecture for today

I pray to reason I can just let go and forget one day. It hurts so badly to be around him and deal with the bullshit. But all I want is to know he's okay because even though I know we can't be together unless some miracle happens and he changes (which I know it most likely won't), I still care so damn much. And if he dies, I don't think I will ever be the same again and might actually have a nervous breakdown. I don't even know who I'm talking to...everyone, anyone...Just help me let go...please. I can't take this pain.
