Question by daniel valadez: Whats going on with my body after long-term drug abuse?
Well I want to know what’s going on with my body right now. I’ve seen some changes on me and people say that I’ve changed and I got uglier. Well my story is I’m 18 now, but last year when I was in high school I met new people and what not. So I met somw girl that had a drug problem and she introduced me to cocaine. So me and her would do cocaine like every day at school. I could say that yeah I was addicted. I would do like 3 lines every hour because it wouldn’t last long. So that went on for like three months. Then one of my other friends came back to my school and introduced me to ecstasy. After that I didn’t mess with cocaine anymore. But I started doing ecstasy on a daily basis for about 6 months straight. All my friends would call me a drug addict and told me I would be a bum one day. I would handle like 2-5 pills a day and wouldn’t care what anyone told me. But
now then they wouldn’t hit me as hard anymore. So then I tried meth because I heard it givs a GOOD rush and last 12 hours. So I did that and got addicted. All my friends were worried and telling me too stop but I couldn’t. I wasn’t that bad of a addict cus I didn’t have that much money. I would handle like dubs at a time. I was scared to overdose again so I would do that at a time. Well I did that for like a month and 1/2 and started to notice changes in me. My family said I was getting uglier and I was really lazy most of the time. I noticed my face was getting bad acne and I did feel uglier because my frends would tell me that too. My self esteem is really low rite now. I’ve been meth clean for about a month now. That’s a big improvement for me but I can’t fix my face back. My acne is still bad and I can’t gain weight, can’t sleep at nite, I get bad drug cravings so I smoke weed everytime I get a craving. I tried killing myself last week (I tied my cell phone charger around my neck but my frend saved me). I guess I just don’t feel loved anymore, and I feel ugly cuz my brothers tell me all the time.    Read more...
