Frumious Bandersnatch
So I had been arrested for burglary a few weeks before this... did the same thing again yet I apparently didn't learn my lesson.
This took place 10+ years ago when I was young and stupid.
I was blacked out on an amount of xanax (I don't remember how much, probably 8-12mg) and probably 10+ beers. I was arrested for burglary a few weeks prior to this after this same combo and not learning my lesson.
Anyways, high, drunk and blacked out with no money in my pockets I naturally started wandering around. I noticed my landlord (also our neighbor at the time) had his door wide open. His car was gone. So I wandered inside... instinctively looking in his bathrooms and medical cabinets for drugs. I was so fucked up I found this small liquid bottle. I'll never remember the name of the drug nor what it said on the bottle - however I honestly remember it saying "take for pain as needed". So naturally, I break the bottle open and chug that shit. Later on, I found out it was IV chemotherapy medicine (and I just drank the entire bottle).
I pass out. In the morning I wake up with the WORST stomach pain and diarrhea I've ever experienced in my life. I was in catatonic pain on the toilet for hours. This quickly developed into the most severe illness I've ever experienced.
For the next week I was so sick I can hardly describe it. Every flu like symptom, my gums hurt and were bleeding, I couldn't eat without vomiting, I could barely stand, I became delirious.... A few days into this I had a massive seizure in my sleep and literally almost bit my tongue off. My tongue was so swollen I couldn't speak properly for 10+ days. Then all my hair fell out.... I was young and this was terrifying (I was about 19 at the time). I was so weak I couldn't push a shopping cart through home depot. I was on deaths door, and yet I never went to the hospital because I was so embarrassed and ashamed of what I had done I couldn't admit the truth to anyone.
Eventually months after I went to a doctor and told the truth. He told me I should have died, and I believe him, especially after that seizure in my sleep. I made a full recovery after a few months.
I've told this story to 2 people in my entire life... for some reason I felt like sharing it with you guys.
Drugs make you do stupid things which can end up killing you...
Life is worth living. Always think twice about what you're doing to jeopardize that.
Also gave me a new found perspective on what cancer patients have to go through.
Life is precious you guys...
