Hw=ello guys a =bd firlsm

oopsm ==what the fuck happened with my typing>!

UUmmm, now I've been known to indulgge ona daily basus in opiates - seeing as I'm an addic\t and all.

Sometimes I tend to overindulge a bit and feel a bit too relaxed, sjhall we say? Benzos are in the mix, as is morphine, and ketamine. This is not an unusual combo for me, and I am aware of the dangerous potentiaion of these substances when mixed.

I know this territory pretty well and I don't feel thta I'm in immediate danger, but I do feel thta I've perhjaps h\ad a bit more than was strictly required. So...

What sounds like a good coures of action?

A brisk walk in the cold night air?

A warm shower?

A cold shower?

Vigorous movement or gentle exercse?

I don't feel that it's an emergency and there are several other people present to take care of me, but I do feel like my breathing is a bit laboured. I've actually had a little bit of speed which clarified teh senses, but I don't want to push my body any harder as it;s already taken enough of a hammering for the last few weeks (or months, even), so no more of that particular pick me up. I know this probably sounds bad, but I have had a couple of overdoses last year and they hit me very suddenly while I was feeling normal. This time I don't feel normal. i just feel a bit too stoned, you know what I mean?

Any advice appreciated !

Take care all
 
Seeing as refer to yourself as an addict, I would think you should have enough experience to know if youre in a good or a bad way.

Besides yourself, the people that are taking care of you are going to have a much better idea of how you are, than people on an internet forum.

But my advice would be stick with sober people and let them know how you're doing, and stop taking anymore drugs.
 
Thanks dudes, I know it's knd of dumb question to be asking internet strangers who can't even see me...

I was actually just wondering if any of you experienced junkheads out there have any quick an d easy tips for when yhou feel aa bit iffy...

Some poeple sa\y jumping around oto get the blood circulating is good, btut I can see a couepl of practical issues with that one; firstly, if I jumparound in myu current state I'm almost certainly going to break some furniture and/or some part of my body in the inevitable wipeout due to lack of coordination; secondly, I feel like if I did something strenuous suddenly I'd probably puke and that'd just look bad for anyoen nearby.

I think going for a brisk walk seems like the thing to do at the moment, especially considering that it's cold outside here in melbourne tonight.

I like the sound of the fruit and veg mix, AS13... but why the low dose kratom? Isn't \that a downer? My main concern is that I'm a bit too sedated at present, so I'm not sure what the kratom would do unless it has some paradoxical effect. '

Anyway, I'm getting pretty tired and I think I'm just gona hit the sack. I'm sure it'll be fine, and if not, well.... I've had a good run.

nighty night all:)
 
I too can vouch for food and hydration. Coconut water or freshly squeeze juice (with ginger to kill the nausea) does wonders for me. Then sleep it off, hope for a better day next day.
 
Morning all and thanks for the replies.

I still feel like shit. Guess I've just overdone it for the last.... five or six years.

Interesting about the low dose kratom, AS13... thanks for that! I'll have to make sure I have some kratom around in future.

Alrighty, have a good one!
 
woweee....

I'm still so fucking stoned today.

I don't know what's going on.. maybe my system has had enough and isn't processing the junk efficiently anymore.

Fuck a duck... I've never moved this slow in my life before. I got up at 7;30 to give my girl a lift to work, and tehn after returning home have done fuck all .... and it's almost 3pm!

Jesus H Christ, talk about a slow one. I realisse that this is more like blog material because it doesn't haave any actual content, but.. then again... it feels signficant in that it miight well be the laast thing I post on this board.

Pretty piss poor way to go out if it is, because I always tried to make sure my posts had some useful content in them beforehand.

But fuck, something just doesn't feel right...

I'm not one to go calling an ambulance and having big drama. I don't trust the medical system after seeing what my father went through during his final weeks. I thinnk I'd rahter just chill at home and post on here as usual.

Ummm.. now i'm just raamlbling and feeling that I should sign off, so...

See you guys on the flip side!

(or alternately, see you on here later if I don't actually die, but just pass out or go into a coma or something).

laterz ;)
 
OK, I'm gonna seek medical attention now. I feel pretty faded. Better stop talking shit on a forum and acutally get myself checked out...

Sorry for being so flippant and setting a bad example. jusst becuase I'm ok with fading away in front of the PC, doesn't meean that other peopplle should ne.

Later.
 
ok, I'm back.

Thanks for the kind words, AS13. I'm glad that i actually decided to do something.

I Don't hate life - quite the opposite, in fact. But I have to face the fact that I have a serious drub problem that's been escalating gradually over the years, and I blame the addition of benzos into the mix for makking me so apathetic about whether I live or die.

Obviouslyh I need to get some help. Even thogh I'm trying that with a psych (for the fourth time in my life) and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Problemis with the peopppple in the health care servicces, is that although they generaelly mean well, most of them don't actually know what it's like to have lived with the shit that they're trying to treat people for, and as nice as it is to have someone listen and try to help out (for $150 an hour), it's just not the same as having a chat with someone whose been to the dark places.

That's why i hang aroound on these boards. cuz I hope that something I say might strike a chord with someone who knows what it's like to not be understood/ It doesn't meamn I can do anything.. but that's the point, I know that sometimes there's nothing you can do, so I'm not gonna try and tell peolple how to get themselves back on track or how to re-enter the mainstream society or whatever. I'm just going to listen and perhaps understand a bit about where they're coming from so they know that they aren't the only one out there who feels isolated or defeated.

Anyway, peace out. I'm good to go (to bed) and should be fine tomorrow, just have to deal with the massive benzo and opiate binge aftermath... (again)
 
Halif have you had to deal with anxiety properly yet? Ive had a few bouts, that started before any drug use, back when i was an 'elite athlete' of sorts haha. Each time it started with a feeling something was wrong, that led me to me being convinced i was actually going to die, and its led to seizures since. It would usually flair up on a bad day, which it sounds your having.

For me personally, good physical health is everything. The good body feeling health, diet and a comfortable sleep pattern gives you goes a long long way for me, especially when abstaining from substances. The other important thing, take some real time to think about your life, what was going right when you happy? what do you want back in your life? what do you want to excel at in your life? Its all about finding something that means enough to you, or that makes you want to prove yourself in some way, to take your mind off drugs, and actually WANT to be productive rather than high. In the end its all mental barriers and confused feelings. You gotta figure out how your mind works and trick it almost. Start getting hobbies

Drinking green tea also helps i find, antioxidants and what not, and after my last binge i tried noopept, which i found seemed to help with my concentration in classes and general mood and chattyness. Noopepts a russian piracetam/nootropic drug that sold OTC for brain health, although studies show potential to reverse drug related changes. Getting a comprehensive blood test/ health checkup can go a long way to easing your mind about things too maybe.

Have you had a look into headspace clinics? I think they are well established in all the major cities in australia? Theyre a more bare bones approach to problem drug use/councelling/teenage depression/suicide etc. You can get a dude thatll go through your drug use with you and educate you on it, stuff like that. I got booked into a specialist guy there through a friend, so i dont know if youd get the same experience off the street. Maybe you need to take charge more in your psyc appointments. You already said you probably know a lot more about drugs than the people your talking to. Bring that to the table, set goals. Have someone you can dissapoint without feeling guilty then hopefully learn, move forward and give it another go.

I had 4 psycs, and the only one that really helped was the one that passed judgement on my drug use, but never to make me feel guilty, and it was never assumed as a likely cause for anything nonrealistic. Kind of a opportunity to buzz knowledge back and forth, and she just kind of let me know if she was worried about where my heads at and my reasons. I actually had a arguement with another psyc about how my anxious breakdown was drug induced, while i tried to tell her i started smoking weed after it happened, and weed generally gets rid of my anxiety pretty fast
 
fuck, I hope your alright now dude and you get all your current problems sorted sooner than later.. I really love reading your posts and would hate to see you leave these board... please take it easy brother and let us know how your goin
 
Eating salad, drinking fruit juice, eating fruit, going for a run, sitting in the steam room, going to the beach, going snowboarding, doing laps in the pool, boxing, yoga, meditation... These all help
 
^haha coke...

Wait, you mean the drug, right? Not the cola?

Anyway, I did actually use a bit of speed on that night which helped to keep me conscious. Basically I just ended up walking around in circles in the house, because the second I stopped moving I started fading out. I've nodded plenty of times and I know the difference between a good nod and the type where you can feel yourself actually slipping away...

Thanks man for the advice. I know first hand how much of a difference being healthy and physically active makes to your life. I actually have maintained a pretty good level of fitness for the last 15 years, even during my depressive episodes. It was all about the power of momentum: Once you get a routine up and running, it's so much easier to follow it through even on the days when you feel like you just don't care anymore.

Problem is, starting about a year and a half ago, I hit this big period of heavy depression which just dragged on and on, and during that time I gradually let go of all my good habits and rapidly ramped up my bad ones. As I lost momentum and started neglecting my life more and more, I found it harder and harder to make a comeback on the days or weeks when I wasn't feeling too bad.


A rigorous shower followed by a warm pie

What kind of pie? This is really important and I'd appreciate an answer within the next couple of hours if possible.

I hope your alright now dude and you get all your current problems sorted sooner than later.. I really love reading your posts and would hate to see you leave these board...

Hey thanks, man! Nice to know my input is appreciated by someone.

Alright, I'm better now (in the immediate short term, I mean), so we can let this thread go away for a while. It's always kind of embarrassing to admit to the general public that you're a raging drug addict who can't often control his intake of substances8(
