I mean honestly I've heard stories about people doing even more outrageous stuff because of meth abuse, if you can even imagine that  People have literally self amputated their own appendages because of meth induced delusions. It's about the worst drug on the face of the earth. Honestly, I've messed with different things myself in the past......... but thank God I had enough sense to stay away from that stuff. It's bad, it's real bad. Basically, extended abuse creates a similar mental state that's similar to having a dream while awake. You have fully realistic hallucinations that you can't tell from reality, and you behave in similar ways to the way your dreaming self behaves. The level of terrifying mental ****ery is truly beyond comprehension. Don't ever touch the stuff again, no matter what. |
I agree that I was lucky, & I have seen meth psychosis multiple times, it's barely distinguishable from a paranoid schizophrenic state imo. Everytime I have seen someone lose control they became paranoid. Like you said this is only my experience however. I don't doubt that there are many who become incredibly elevated & hypersexual & appear to be in like a traditional manic psychosis. I'm sure there are too many to count but it doesn't excuse their behaviour. The OP needs to look after herself first & foremost. Is her boyfriend in the midst of a drug induced psychosis or is he using & thinking **** it it feels good now so I will do it & deal with the consequences later? Meth is selfish.
I agree wholeheartedly that meth is a disgusting drug & the worst that is available. I wish I had never picked up the pipe because I feel like I've damaged my own brain. Destabilised my own moods, likely exacerbated an already present mental illness, & caused what seems to be permanent cognitive deficits that have left it difficult to function in my career. I hate it but I still love it.
