More drama

After several days of no sleep, little food, and a major relapse on meth, I went into a psychosis last night and had several cop cars show up... apparently they thought I was armed or something. Got handcuffed and taken downtown before being transferred to the emergency department at hospital for an anti-psychotic and some fluids, since I'd gotten so dehydrated. Back home now. I'm not sure if I'll be facing any further charges as I hid everything incriminating when I saw the cops pull up outside. But still, 2 incidents with the cops within one week ain't good.

 

Sweetie, I don't want this to come off as a lecture, as you are an adult and responsible for your own behavior. I also know this has been a rough time for you between the holidays and everything else. Whatever choices you make about your use and your lifestyle, your body is giving you some pretty unambiguous signs that you need to take better care of yourself by staying nourished and hydrated. I know it's the last thing you're thinking about when you are under stress. I am prone to vomiting when I have panic attacks, so I have a few tricks I can share on how to keep a healthy GI tract.

Do you have any favorite beverages that are free of caffeine and alcohol (both diuretics)? I find that a glass of diet ginger ale or lemon-lime soda at room temperature really helps me settle my stomach and refreshes me. For foods, I cook basmati or brown rice in chicken or vegetable broth if I want a hot meal, or have melon or apple slices if I can't manage that.

Eating, hydrating, and sleeping regularly are things your body needs to survive. That is what makes meth so insidious (and I say this from non-recent experience) - it robs you of all those things.

I wish for you a peaceful and healthier 2010.

 

Sweet P, what the fuck is going on!?!?! Please take better care of yourself. I know we tend to say 'fuck it' and just keep on keepin' on but, you got people that care about you and reading this hurts, man. Not tryin' to sound soft but, fuck man, shits startin' to hit you hard and all at once and yeah, I'm worried about you

 

^ We all are.

You really need to take a break for a while Sweet P. Hell, you aren't even fully recovered from your seizure yet, and now you're delving into full-blown meth psychosis. This can't go on for much longer, and one way or another it will end.

Please take care of yourself. Mariposa's tips are solid, but what it boils down to is that you need to stop taking meth. Period. Your body has taken all it can.

Pardon the bluntness, but I think that sugarcoating the message in this case would be counterproductive. You're good people Sweet P, and it would be a damn shame to lose you.
