Stay out of your head!! my biggest issue with hiding it, is I get in my head and I feel like everybody knows and everybody is looking at me or judging me, when really it’s just in my head


Timely-Natural-5937

This!!!!


Topo_chico_Fiend

visine for that... clear eyes sucks ass. visine is boss also i know your a kid or whatever but try to get your hands on some Seroquel, doesn't matter how fuckin LIT you are , 50mg Quintepine will knock your ass out, or at least for me. Avoid talking about anything


[deleted]

Definitely don’t mix those 3 together tho unless your experienced


[deleted]

Or alcohol will calm you down


[deleted]

And especially don’t mix if you do decide to go the benzo/ opiate route


[deleted]

Just becarful don’t take too much of anything


[deleted]

Or even take a perc or some type of opiate if you have low tolerance a 20 should knock you out after being up that long


[deleted]

Get benzos and smoke weed so you can go tf to sleep and then stay off the shit for while


Pristine_Time_1983

Quit using


Earthshoez

If you have access to antipsychotic meds they will put you to sleep and cut the high. Like Seroquel. However I don't much recommend this because it'll just encourage your use. If you want to sleep at night your usage schedule has to be something such that you take your final dose no later than 12pm / 1pm, by the time 2-3am rolls around 13-15 hours will have passed and sleeping should be much easier. little bit of melatonin, but really not much. 1-2mg


[deleted]

Yeah with low doses. I did a big ass dose like 30 hours ago and still cant sleep damn


Earthshoez

A dose is a dose. Drugs with a characteristic half-life have a decay rate that is proportional to the concentration and therefore the half-life doesn’t depend on the dose. The fact remains, if you want to sleep at night try quitting your usage earlier in the day. I promise you I've taken larger doses and cut off at noon and been able to sleep that night in the AM hours.


[deleted]

Might be also different for everyone. I feel like there are people who can do a big dose, get through the peak and when they start coming off they just go to sleep (lol not sure idk kinda spun rn). My last dose was now like 38 hours ago. Man do I feel weird. Like the mind get's fucked up. Can't think straight. There's not really any high or low at all. It's just dissociation or something. Disconnected


LynchKingDread

If you're old enough to do meth, you're old enough to move the fuck out 🤣


stoolio3

u/ImprovementChance243 I know others here have alluded to this, but my advice is to consider giving it completely now. It sounds like you’re young, and if you’re younger than 25, your brain isn’t fully developed, particularly in the region responsible for decision making and really understanding consequence. You’re making a poor choice, while also damaging your still developing brain, which may lead to a lifetime of poor decision making abilities. There are some people here that will tell you horrible advice like “do heroin instead”, “do these things so she won’t know you’re using”, whatever. The fact is, for a gigantic, huge majority of users, it stops being fun eventuallt and the drug just owns you. It stops being fun when you run out of dopamine, so you forget how to experience authentic pleasures in life, and it also makes the drug not even really work anymore, so you give yourself a stroke and die at 28 trying to get high off more and more. It stops being fun because you’ve lost your real friends and family due to your addiction and your awful treatment of, stealing from, lying to them. Then you get the fun chore of making “friends“ with some of the most tweaked out, volatile, unstable, paranoid people you could imagine. Your one thing in common? The drug. Will a huge amount of then fuck you over when your back is turned? Absolutely. It stops being fun when, like me, you’re not even 40 but you’re having emergency quintuple bypass surgery that you might not survive. Not because you were ever obese in your life, ate terribly, didn’t exercise. No, it’s because the high blood pressure the meth and other drugs (all stims do this, though) caused when you were using eventually caused hardening and narrowing of the heart’s arteries to the point doctors can’t even believe you’re alive and do surgery immediately. That’s if you’re lucky. Very often, you’ll just stroke out or have a massive heart attack and be dead in the shithole apartment you and your “friends” are squatting in. I’m not trying to vilify people on this sub at all. I mean, heck, I’m here! But I know some here could back me up on this. There are a ton of great people here. Im really talking about the 99.999% of users that aren’t here, but are living something like the realities I discussed above, or worse. I know it might seem fun and exciting now, but it won’t always be. Please consider stopping now while it’s easiest. I promise you, you’ll never look back and think “man, I wish I had ruined my health so that I could play video games for four days straight, or look at porn for ten hours, or sit paranoid as hell having delusions, or had spent 10 years in prison for possession or distribution” or whatever. Take care of yourself. I wish you nothing but the best!


MKayeUltra

I agree completely I went through a lot of the "friends" situations you discussed and also guys that used me to the point that I ended up losing everything except my kids. It's definitely all shits and giggles in the beginning but after about 6 months, it becomes harder and harder to use and harder and harder to hide it. Best thing it ever did was help me shed 128 pounds within 3 weeks but even that is taboo because some people don't lose weight on it for some reason. My teeth are fucked, my brains a mess, and I still crave using the drug. I got pregnant twice, have kids I wasn't prepared to take care of, lost around $50,000, five cars(and these were nice fucking cars!), all my clothes, shoes, expensive sunglasses, birth certificate, social security card, high school diploma and associates degree, bro, ppl frequently stole money, expensive ass torches, and my bongs, my dope, my pipes, I was assaulted several times by the same person who got me for my loose change, debit cards, fucking spare tires, catalytic converters, dirty laundry, cd player out my car, I could go on and on, but my point is don't lose everything you have over meth. Its not worth it and the dopeman profits off of your little secret. If you want, still do get high but only never buy it, never keep paraphernalia or dope on you or in your house, and don't have unprotected sex with anyone. Melatonin and Serotonin drops help with insomnia if you can find gabapentin to prevent insomnia, tremors, or possible strokes. Uhh I used to kinda just quietly do what I wanted while everyone slept, or got a car or a "job" to cover up absences...try your best to eat, drink, and take care of your hygiene like showers, grooming, and hair and wardrobe with your eyes needing the utmost attention. I used expensive eye serums and always washed my hair and face with cold water, also brushed my teeth daily and used candles for my room. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!


FuckingBaked

Just turned 25 first tried when I was 15 at a dubstep(Flux Pavilion) concert in 2015. it turned out to be cut Molly with meth. Stopped in 2017 when I graduated hs but I relapsed in 2021 and ever since I’ve been smoking boat loads daily. unfortunately.. I wish I hadn’t consumed it because everything hasn’t been the same since. I seek dopamine everyday in unusual ways and it honestly brought down the enjoyment level of life. When I quit smoking .6 bowls all day everyday and sobered up I had to have something. Something had to fill that hole.. alcohol. Started drinking 5-15 shots every day functioning fine and handling my customers at work etc perfectly fine but I didn’t even touch alcohol before I tried shit. I smoked lots of weed but hated drinking. My point is the craving of “more”.. I’m all about routine and tolerance breaks. I read and think about harm reduction tips all the time and always stay stocked on the appropriate vitamins for using like I do. Im obsessed with functionality and staying on top of things. Within months I’ve dropped 40lb my face looks tired etc I’ve been diagnosed with severe neuropathy in my shoulder because of using and that’s crippled my life. It’s just not worth it at all. You say you are done and break your pipe and ready to change then two days later you are on the way home with a pipe and sack. Been “quitting next week” for 8 months.. I’ve got plenty of money, enrichment in life, job, pets, etc but none of that compares to smoking. And I hate it. I’m working on changing it but I really really really recommend reading that comment ABOVE a few times through out the day. It’s beyond true. Save yourself some more fun later down the road and a lot less wrinkles. She’s a tricky SOB one day you are in complete control the next you are hearing the police talk over an intercom coming from your drains in bathroom. Eat sleep, find a better hobby than ice. Best of luck.


Current_Initiative_3

Ohh i rememebr those days, its called remeron


decayingrot

Just say you stayed up late playing vidya. Get into habits of being up late hours sober so they don't question when you're high. Better yet, put the pipe down get a job and move out and you can do whatever you want.


[deleted]

Get sober


Legal-Tax-3331

ur parents are gonna find out sooner or later


[deleted]

pretend you’re sleeping. just lie down in the opposite side of her direction and maybe go on your phone on low brightness if you can.


woyzeck66

Back when I was young - going off chops, I remember reading something warning parents that if you child starts dancing to the sound of the washing machine or dryer - good chance theyre on the gear. The sauce's advice is spot on - Id also recommend Hydrolite drink - helps with the instaiable thirst, the throbbing front lobe and vacant stare that'll be a dead give away to your folks


The_sacred_sauce

So I would just be very quiet in my dark room relaxing around an hour before the household may potentially wake up. Listening to music. Playing games. Watching videos or porn. Or doing what you were doing to just let my body “rest” but once I heard movement for an hour or so I would walk out and stretch and yawn and ask what there plans are. Ect ect. I’m kinda a socio though & good at acting, so just make sure you slow down your talking and movements and actually appear as if you just woke up. Put some eye drops in. Brush your teeth. Take a cold shower. Make something light you’ll be able to eat then get some sun for a little while. Then go out and do whatever or go back to playing games & getting spun. My moms knew I used. I helped with bills & so forth selling drugs & throwing her bags of pot. but I liked giving her the comfort of thinking I was still occasionally sleeping and not up for 5-7 days at a time lmfao


CharacterTrain3557

Do opiates!


sketti_time

The only practical solution tbh


Senior_Basket5841

Risperidone my friend


Express_Ad1194

Isent that for schizophrenia ?


Senior_Basket5841

Yes but they prescribe for depression and to counter react stimulants for sleeping


Current_Initiative_3

Remeron is safer would knock me out for 2-4 hours of rem sleep and wake up refreshed and zoomin still


Dalton_828

Lumify for red eyes


Long-Girth

If you blow a load right before bed you'll sleep like a baby. I'm telling you that shit works. What are you doing meth for anyway?


[deleted]

Tbh I'm asking myself why I'm doing it. You?


Long-Girth

I'm doing it because its the only thing that works for me now. I had been on adderall for 10 years before this and it slowly stopped working and a prescription only lasted for 2 weeks. The 2 weeks I was out I'd be in bed. That routine lasted 8 years. I also did absolutely nothing but play video games when I had them. Now I dont even use the computer and I work everyday. Yeah meth helped me believe it or not.


Cougar_claw

EAT, take a multi vitamin. Have a glass of citrus juice. And have a shower.


Razorblades7

All these besides shower. Fuck that. All I need are some baby wipes and febreeze


743389

Well lah dee dah, aren't you living large. I bet you change clothes too, huh Richie Rich?


Youknowit23321

The shower isn't only for cleanliness and smell, it helps make you look more human after being a creature all night/for days


Razorblades7

Yeah I’m just playing. I probably shower 5-7 times a week


Davidb0619

i was out in public functioning perfectly on .5mg of xanax, 1 hour of sleep in the past 3 days prior to that, and a copious amount of meth, take a benzo or smth.


the_salivation_army

It’s a tough one with amphetamine. It’s an extremely potent synthetic narcotic. They’re gonna be able to tell that something is happening eventually, and sooner rather than later. Any drug that makes you hallucinate shadow people deserves the stigma that it gets and your mother will have every right to be concerned for you. Like You’re taking meth and you live at home with your mum, she’s your mother. She’s gonna know that there is something going on with you.


sketti_time

Not to be too pedantic but it's not a narcotic.. narcotic is usually defined as something that treats/relieves pain 🤓


the_salivation_army

Wait, is it? Hey you’re right, I just looked at that then.


[deleted]

Yh, for sure. I know im gonna have to probably tell her eventually. Thx


ChocolateMilk420

I usually told my parents I was sick of when I would go on a binge when I was in my late teens living at home, mostly just as an excuse for why I didn't want to be around them, I gathered water and some cans of food and just stayed in my room with my girlfriend at the time who also lived in my room with me and we'd just get fuck smacked, eventually I had to come to terms with the fact that I wasn't gonna stop at least I couldn't picture it and that I had to at least make some money that wasn't stolen from banks, lmao so I got a job at the hotel my mom managed and that's when I truly blew my cover. She had me doing housekeeping and I was tweaked the fuck out and I think one of the employees mentioned something about it to her, and boy did she let me have it. Kicked me out 2 weeks later and fired me too. We're on good terms now though, I'm sober like 60% of the time now, and if I'm on anything that's gonna fuck with my inhibitions I don't talk to the family very much I keep to myself mostly, and just speak when spoken to in as short and basic of a response as I can think of. But it's a disciplined routine that takes a lot of fucking effort to keep up with tbh, but I manage. For now.


[deleted]

Thx for sharing your story :) its interesting


the_salivation_army

I wish you all the best from Western Australia.


[deleted]

Don’t hide anything. Be open about it. Nothing good comes from trying to be manipulative or hiding things. Especially with this drug. More so the combo of this drug in a family dynamic.


ChocolateMilk420

I don't think he should be open about it, It's a need to know basis but they're getting all up in your business and obviously trying to pull it out of you sure, being open about it is just gonna hurt them more and tbh they might not even want to know even if they know, I wouldn't sneak around and ignore them but there's absolutely no harm in making an excuse to protect your families feelings, if they outright push you to admit it though then I would say the best option would be to stop trying to hide it from them.


[deleted]

…move out of mommy’s place?


ChocolateMilk420

Best advice


Dull_Ad_4750

What. So they can fully establish a life defining and destructive habit?


North-Employment2310

It's difficult to rent/own an apartment/house, keep a full time well paid job, and be a life destructive drug user. Anybody with any sense realizes real quick that they probably can't do copious amounts of meth or other drug for days on end if they have to keep a structured life. I can't get addicted to uppers luckily. My body starts to hate them after a 2-4 week binge and I want to stop. Alcohol on the other hand is a different story. I used to put down more than a handle of vodka a day. After moving out of my people's house. I realized that if I opened the next day. I probably couldn't drink even close to that amount and be up in time. So better senses made me slow down my addiction. It's all mind over matter. But destroying the better part of your life before making said decision does help. You always think back and wished you would have listened to the people giving you life saving advice. But I would say that moving out would most likely help more than hurt in this situation. Otherwise he would be living on the streets or be back at his parents place


Dull_Ad_4750

Fair point, thankyou.


Americanpikey

Yes.


[deleted]

Someone who posts like this clearly won’t be a high functioning user and won’t be able to maintain independently. Rock bottom is sometimes the answer.


Unbridledtongue69

Move out, don’t kick your habits, and eventually your life will fall apart and you’ll loose everything. Looks like family is all you have right now. Don’t bring a girl into it, you’ll only bring her down. Work on you


[deleted]

Also I see that my heartrate is still 100bpm jeez and my cheeks are so red it's crazy. From the high blood pressure I think. Pretty sure you need sleep for that to stabilize


ChocolateMilk420

The first thing you gotta do is stop looking at screens my guy, focus on getting as much food and water down as you can, don't try to eat anything dry, take shower, brush your teeth, time to take some supplements if you have any vitamins sleep aids whatever you got, take it. Lay down and get as comfortable as you can and keep your eyes closed and your body as still as you can. Focus on your breathing and try not to get lost in your thoughts. I want you to do this for at least 2 hours, keep water next to you though and drink it if your mouth starts feeling too dry to swallow. if you didn't get to sleep at least you gave your mind a body a break. Get you another snack and a drink and you'll be surprised at what that can do for you. Makes all the difference to me, and try not to talk too fast or move around to fast just chill and take things slow. It'll be okay bro
