WOW I SLEPT! For far fewer hours than it felt like, it has to be said. I thought it was evening when I woke up. It was midday. I didn't sleep till long, long into the night past 5 or 6 am. Cannot remember when. Then I slept!!
Without pills, which I didn't really want. Or glugging excess methadone (not really a temptation). Or drinking. I did "imbibe" 2 White Stars last night. To prove what was going on was not DTs.
To even think you have DTs you must be pretty far-gone.
Last night, when I was still going batshytcrazy, the POLICE were everywhere. I have no idea what happened. They were parked up all over the place. Wherever I looked some lady police officer in fluoro jacket seemed to be in the car. One particularly attractive one proved to be a parking meter. Ho hum. I was not in an "ordinary" state of mind.
The lights looked absolutely amazing. Then 2 police cars, blue flashers full on. Wow!! That was a moment!!
Then there were police everywhere, following me. Before that, my house, road, and all the shops were full of obvious crack dealers. Talking their horrible way they talk. And just being horrible people I want to avoid forever. Because i hate crack.
I am not trying to say people were serving up all over the place. Just these off duty bastards. Making piles of cash out of other people's misery. Spending the money in my local shop!!
Haven't a clue what was or was not real. That out of it. At one point my room seemed full of radios left on each babbling some different speech or tune. Then I started hearing voices speaking Spanish and Chinese. Now that has to be loony tunes.
I don't know what the hell has happened, and I don't feel I have fully come down. (Don't want to. Who wants normality anyhow??)
But I did sleep. And I am a bit less destructible, disinhibited... still barely any appetite. At all. Not hallucinating smoke and bubbles. Everywhere. This the baseline. Crazy stuff on top. Saw the Northern Lights in candy colors in my own house!! How amazing is that!! All free of charge of course. No drugs.
I did crave a go on the heroin. For about 0.2 seconds. Then I remembered how crap heroin actually is. First time I properly tried it all I could think was "is THIS what all the fuss is about!!" Marianne Faithfull put it best: "Big waste of time."
So there we go. Don't want that any more. Always kind of knew it was an expensive Chemical Lie. As people off it, especially people who had never been on, seemed far happier and more contented than any addict I had ever met, especially the ones still using.
No amount of heroin, no matter how good (and I know I wasn't being ripped off: nearly always disappointed with intros to other people's dealers) even when I was nearly unconscious, still wasn't good enough enough enough enough. Never ever enough.
Thank God all that is Over.
It actually feels Over. Over. Done with. Gone.
THANK GOD!!
PS thanks mental health person. Did get what you said. Was in a slightly "distractable" state. Couldn't get head round charging a mobile phine, putting key in lock, signing into internet stuff. So was only randomly able to achieve anything at all. How I posted I have no idea!
PPS 2303hrs just found this discussion on my favourite cheapie drink White Cider. (White Star #1 choice; White Ace #2 choice. White Ace doesn't taste quite as nice in my book. If you're foreign, get out of your head any apply cultured drink country pub fantasy. This is dirt cheap alcohol. Like liquid brillo pads. With bubbles.
Really nice with tropical fruit juice though. Addictively so!!
Not bad on its own when you get used. I use a mixer to be a bit responsible and make it less alcoholic. As do not WANT to be an alcoholic.
PPPS read this for a lurid depiction of Xanax/etc Valium/benzo withdrawals. In America. Sadistic Doctors in a rehab clinic?? Surely not!!

i am pleased you have slept i was beginning to worry - worry that you had not slept for so long and worry that you had not been online for a while, you know what you need to do tomorrow if its distressing seek help there must be someone sound near you who will help. i have read so much of your blog during this drought i feel i know you and i really want the best for you - take care and stay safe. x
i'm going drs/clinic/somewhere tomorrow. gotta phone 1st. have a litany of complaints. basically bc this happened, and i told 'em and i was almost totally ignored. at least that's how it feels
i'm v angry with all psychiatrists/druggie workers. actually present one excepted. this one seems sound. and the actual doctor. which is really unusual.
still barking up the useless methadone tree though
i don't care about taking it now but i think with most people they're wasting their time bigtime with that one. give 'em heroin!!
Hi, glad to hear you got some sleep at last :o) I feel so bad for you guys even though I'm not in the same boat as you. We don't all look down on you and your predicament. None of us is perfect and there are many kinds of addiction (some not even acknowledged).
Mental health issues get complicated by drug abuse (as they simulate the symptoms of mental illness). I hope you're able to kick the habit, and fulfill your potential.
Pregnant Girl - Don't do anything in a hurry as changes affect your unborn baby. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty - you'll do that yourself anyway, but not too much I hope. You can't change the past, only the future. You should not try to detox without medical advice and supervision when pregnant. It's probably best to wait until baby is born. Unborn babes can go into shock - it's bad enough for adults.
You can be the best mum, so ignore the negative comments. Lots of people get pregnant accidentally and have done since time immemorial, and far less capable people than you. There are plenty of straight heads who are terrible parents, just plain nasty!
Hi Gledwood...glad you slept..
Have no words today...
But really glad you slept
XxXx
Gled,
So many junkys I know get off the smack, and fall in a deep depression for a long time if they don't catch another habit like drinking or amphetamines etc, they end up offing themselves.
I'm worried about you. I know how blue those blues can get. Nothing gives you pleasure. Nothing I can say will talk you out of it.
Right now your just going batshit crazy. Which is horrible, check yourself into a hospital detox. Maybe you won't suffer the depression. I hope not.
Good to hear you got 'some' sleep, they say sleep is the best medicine.
You still sound spaced out to me though Gleds and I'm still worried about you. Do go to the docs/clinic/wherever and get some help. x
Hi Gled,
I don't think my comments are registering. Anyway all I wanted to say is I wish you all the best.
j.
Take care and hope that you will be okay.
