Depression from a binge weekend...

[Festivalman1]

Hey guys. So I've always been a somewhat heavy drinker, along with long party weekends as well for festivals and what not and usually I can shake post festival blues in a day or two... but this past weekend I decided to go home from college for the weekend. Drinking started heavily Thursday night, all day Friday, picked up some coke for Friday night and Saturday, slept for 4 hours then went along drinking all day Saturday along with doing more coke. Then Saturday night drinking all night and sleeping only 5 hours max.. then drinking all day Sunday and taking a 30mg Roxy. I finally fell asleep around 8pm, woke up at 8am, then back to bed at 9 til 430, and then slept that entire night, along with last night. Yet I still feel pretty depressed and still incredibly tired, almost like I'm still fucked up. I feel incredibly alone (and I'm usually an independent person). I fear I'm stuck like this forever because I fucked something up in my brain.... any suggestions, tips, support is much needed and appreciated. Have no motivation to even get out of bed for classes or leave my house to even see friends....

in bold is exactly why you would still be feeling depressed. the lack of sleep, coke use, alcohol use and the strange emptiness opioids can produce is a definite recipe for some binge-blues.

i usually experience this low state to up to a week after a heavy binge. though, i do not binge on pharms, stims and booze anymore.. primarily for this reason..

you'd be fine soon. don't worry, mate .

your brain just takes a while to reset itself after the cocaine and not sleeping also has an effect on mood.

thank you for your response - that definitely made me feel a lot better knowing im not the only one and knowing this isnt a permanent thing. i was advised to try some 5-htp, so i went ahead and picked up some of that. also, i refuse to use further drugs (alcohol, benzo, stimulants etc) to try and make this better, but a friend of mine has adivan and said since it is a very mild anxiety relief that it could definitely help my cause. what is your thoughts, take it or continue on my own?

Going through the same thing as we speak, it sucks but like our good friend Mr Potatoman explained it will pass eventually. Stay tough bruv ?
