Mental Health Meth recovery and depression. Is this normal?

[Dbb]

I have smoked meth off and on for the last 4- 5 years (More on than off) It is day 6 since I have touched it and I feel like I am losing my mind. I don't want to smoke. But, I am really going through some super dark fucked up depression. It is just soul wrenching sadness and self loathing. I have gone through mild depression before and so, I know that this is most likely something I can work through. I just want to know if anyone has experienced this before? Please tell me it is just one of the stages one must go through in order to reach a full recovery! I am having a hard time dealing and I am pretty sure my boyfriend and I are over due to this out of control emtions/depression.

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out. What you're probably experiencing now should not be present nearly so much after two weeks clean.

If you let your boyfriend know in an honest manner what you're going through, it may help. This is probably too big a secret to keep from him. I know it's painful, and that you may want to save face, and/or fear how he'll react.

I withdrew from prescription stimulants at a high dose. I've been clean for almost five months, and am doing well.

A doctor may be able to give you something which addresses the underlying reason why you felt the need to use methamphetamine.

Thank you so much. I have detoxed in the past. But, never has it been this rough mentally! I really appreciate your input.
And, yeah, I should talk to him.
Thank you
