Ngl I just got a lot of videos about what drugs feel like and psychedelic visualizers. To balance that I tried to find something like withdrawal stories or whatever really, more like people doing funny things while feeling weird then anything. But this video feels like it's made by someone who really knows and cares, so that's good stuff
I just broke up with with my ex who is a drug addict and then realized that maybe I didn’t understand his struggle? So I started watching this kind of videos and believe me when you started to explain it with the whole “not eating” thing I started to cry. I have an eating disorder and never thought those 2 addictions could be so similar..
My best friend. She’s been struggling with addiction for some time now. When I first met her, she was the sweetest girl ever, and now, she’s struggling with her alcoholic and cocaine addiction. She’s lost lots of friends. And now she just got kicked out of her parents place, I’m talking to her daily, tryna help her, but I don’t understand addiction so idk if the words I’m saying are helpful, told her she can stay here for a night or two if it’s needed. Poor girl lost literally everything she had from the year I first met her
I have a food addiction. I binge and as a consequence I feel calmer. When I'm lonely or have not been with people for a time the urge to binge comes back. It gets stronger and stronger, but if I resist it lessens. Sometimes I give in to it. Then i feel ashamed and guilty. It's a horrible addiction.
Thank you for sharing Lucy. I really hope you are getting support with dealing with things and you have a good people around you able to listen and be there for you.
meow_cat thank you so much. It feels like the first part of the process in being able to help others, is being able to understand them and what is happening to them. ❤️
@@notnotnormal4205 I agree. I spent 15 years in and out of addiction and now I'm advocating now myself and educating about addiction and stigma in my city. Your video was the most accurate description I have ever heard. All your videos are great and I appreciate you speaking out about it.
meow_cat thank you so much. That sounds like empowering and positive work. A good thing about going through difficult times is being able to use that information to help others know what it’s like and what helped me. Best of luck with things and feel free to hit me up any time. 🖖🏻
Its just like being in love. Cant sleep because you cant stop thinking about her. She becomes your life. You require her. You feel a wave of peace and energy when she is around. When its obvious she doesnt love you your life turns upside down. You still cant sleep but this time it hurts. It hurts so bad that you would rather be asleep, maybe then you would stop suffering. But you cant go to sleep, because your mind is racing. Your constantly saying to yourself "im not good enough" or if it gets really bad "i want to die". It feels like you took a whole bottle of ZQUIL thats how tired you are. Your hearts racing out of your chest constantly and nothing ever feels good. This doesnt go away in a day or two. You go through this every day for weeks if not months. And the only way out of it is being around her or looking at a picture of her. But you cant really do that if you two are seperated. Or you could keep suffering and eventually your mind will get off it. PURE HELL.
Sometimes Love itself is an addiction. Being addicted to love. Addicted to one person is the one i fear over all the addictions. And yes it happened to me too.
Please I’ve felt like this but not this extreme but I feel how you felt, I’ve been there before. If you have or still feel like this or are prone to feel like in the future then let me tell you what I did: I accepted God into my life, I’ve been running from God and saw how painful life really was, to be at peace with myself I had to feel at peace in my heart. It wasn’t like life was the issue it was the damage it did to me that was the root to my issues, I needed to destroy the root issue n God healed my heart and that issue by making me feel accepted and secure and confident, I knew I neeeded a savior from life n the afterlife after I die I will go to Heaven, I asked for forgiveness and God forgave my sins bc of Jesus, my heart n mind have clarity, I hope you accept Jesus into your life.
Rewatched this vid and found your comment again. This time from a new perspective. Your comment about dependency in a relationship Word of word described the life of Jarad Higgins, other known as Juice wrld. He passed a few years ago to OD but the unlimited powerful music he left us is still alive and I want you to listen to some of his songs. He knows how you feel. He has been through the ringer of love. The codependency, the drug addiction, the constant fight w good n evil in his mind, his path to true love, him finding and enjoying true love, all of that is painted in hundreds of unreleased songs he made daily through his 18 year old life. I’ll link some songs you might like. Jesus still and will always love you and can free you how he freed me.
Watching this hurts! My little brother 18 is addict to drugs..i feel like im hard on him...im really trying to understand what its like for him so i can help him...
It's hell watching a family member spiral out of control and not knowing what to do. Unfortunately, you can't fix this for him, it has to come from him. I'm not saying you can't help him get into rehab, I'm only saying he has to want help. He's still your bro, and is no less a person than anyone else. He did not ask for this, he played around and crossed the line one day. You can try an intervention, get the family together and confront him. Let him know how it's hurting everyone. If that works, take him to detox that day or he will change his mind. Get educated about addiction, so you have an idea of what it's like. Know this, it often takes several attempts before he kicks it. Don't ever give up on him and don't enable him, because then you become part of the problem. Addiction is a living hell for everyone including him. I hope and pray he gets clean. Btw, my name is Jeremy and I'm an addict
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your story and I’m wondering how are you doing now? ❤a friend of mine is going through this at the moment😢and just praying with all mine heart that the lord Jesus help him because I want to see him good. I Hope with the help of GOD you are doing really well and this is a part of your past. Much love and looking forward hearing from you.
@@jorschu well said.we need to support people who go through addictions rather than letting them stay hanging. You have to be an addict to feel what its like.
Lmfaooo that heartless bitch comment had me 😂🤣😂.. I'm here because the father of my unborn child told me he is struggling with addiction. I'm here to understand what he is going through. I can't help him but I can put myself in his shoes and try not to be an ass. He already feels like he is an ass
Im watching this because apparently my brother in law thinks of me as a witch and doing bad stuff to cause him harm although we barely talk. Everything that’s happening bad to him he blames me for it. Like WTH did i do, we don’t even talk at all..He confess to my sister that he’s taking cannabis 3x a day.. i felt so angry.. i just wish my sister could help him get over to his addiction.

Just the thought alone that someone else thinks like this and also feels not in control is very comforting to me, thankyou mate
Hey can I ask you a question mate?

I 100% get those obsessions that’ll last a whole hour then go away and come right back

Ty!!!!!!!!!!!
My ex was an addict..i dumped him because i thought he was weak...im so unbelievably grateful every day that i dont have any kind of addiction.
@Cosmic Rift Chill. Not everyone is going to get it. Thats ok.
@brwood33 You're the reason society is primitive in dealing with drug addictions, dick

@@ForexWithKhomotjo did you have a healthy kid? 🙏🏾
I did cocaine and percs alcohol weed and cigarettes before never got addicted but give me a quesadilla and then I’m not so sure😭😭😭
Addiction is a life line u pull out of emptiness.
What if you could never get your drug of choice ever again ? 💖
Heroin addiction fucking sucks!
