Answer:
any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.
Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation
she probably has an underlying mental illness that her addiction is aggrivating or it could just be her drug use that is doing that to her. and i'm not going to lie it will probably be a while before she gets better..because first she needs to treat her drug addiction which will be a struggle and then she can focus on treating the other problems..and that is if she even realizes and decides to address these problems.
There are many possible answers to this so I'll do my best. With severe opiate addiction there are major chemical changes in the brain, specifically the brain "shuts off" the receptor sites for the neurotransmitters that opiates replace, which are the bodies natural pain killers. There are many studies that show that these receptor sites never turn back on (this isn't the case with other types of nuerotransmitters) and the brain is left with a shortage of these pain managing chemicals. This can lead to a high level of irritability and mood disregulation, because the recovering addict is always experiencing pain in some form. So that's one possible answer, and one would hope it would get better but it's not always the case.
Another possible answer is that the opiates were used to treat an underlying and preexisting mental health issue. Many addicts begin using because they are self medicating a mental disorder. With opiate dependance it usually falls into an anxiety disorder, or a schizoaffective type disorder. If that is the case if your ex gets help for the mental health issues things should improve. Regardless she should be in mental health counseling as a recovering addict.
For you I would suggest attending al-anon meetings if you aren't already doing so. It's a program for friends and family members of addicts and does a lot to help understand the problems of addiction and teaching people how to support those in thier lives without enabling them to use.
I had an opiate addiction for which I went to an inpatient detox for earlier this year. It seems pretty odd to me that your ex would still be on suboxone after 3 years.
I have taken suboxone on my own when I was flip flopping about really stopping my addiction...it screws you up. It really does. I still had dilated pupils and the whole deal.
Basically for 3 years your ex has been on a major mood altering substance so I would say that it has a huge part of how wierd her mood is.
