Speed & freak

Hi i;m new and know i've got probs and need help mentally but i know i can't function with using "chat" (speed). I have depression, severe social issues i.e i don't trust any 1 and i hate having to go outside and if i don't have my chat then i just stay in bed till i get more any1 got any advice as there's no help for my substance abuse

Are you referring to Crystal Meth (Amphetamines)?
I have been clean from using meth, alcohol, and prescription drugs for around 18 months or so now.
I was like you, very depressed. I didn't much like the company of others, even family. I'd get the drug and go icelate sitting on my computer.
You need professional help to not only beat the addiction to this drug, but for the emotional issues you are suffering through as well. Many times substance abuse is masking much larger issues.
You are not alone, here if you need support.

Hi,

I also felt there was no helping my substance abuse, but today I have over 9 months clean and sober. For me it was a program of action meaning I had to fight to get sober and everyday is a battle between me and the disease.

Peace,

He said he is using speed (amphetamine sulphate) rather then meth (methamphetamine).
There is a big difference.

Don't self medicate with street drugs!
Try get clean and talk to a doctor about your problems.

Speed&freak-Understand that you are not alone, and that using the "chat" as you call it can actually cause the feelings of fear and lack of trust that you have. It will be hard, but you need to seek out help, lose your user friends, and look for a good NA support group, or other support group to help you through this. Take it one day at a time, if it is too hard, then you may have to seek inpatient treatment. You can do this!

I also use speed a lot. I love the up feeling it gives me and how it allows me to get so much stuff done. As a bipolar, it also induces hypomania for me which is always nice.

When I come off of it, I use caffeine and ginseng as substitutes. Although they are not nearly as strong, they still give me a decent buzz and up feeling. I now reserve amphetamines and methylphenidates for exam study. Another thing that gets me to limit use is thinking about how I do not want a tolerance to develop (because I am cheap). This is why I take frequent drug holidays.
