Depressed, Fatige

Methamphetamines

I had done meth for seven years, then went to prison. The reason I started doing meth was because I would do nothing but sleep. Meth was the answer. I would go to work, come home, take a nap, wake up and eat dinner, then go to bed. I felt like I was wasting my life. Now after going to prison, I led the same boring life. No motivation to do anything. So I started using again. It keeps me awake and I am much more active. I am happy using but I dont want to suffer the consenquences for using. I have the best job I have ever had, A girlfriend who I love very much, and im free. I could lose it all if I get caught. When I went to prison it was the same boring life without no motivation for anything. I would sleep 12 hours everyday. I hate it. I think that I might have something medically wrong with me. I dont know anybody who sleeps as much as me. So I was wondering if anybody was the same as me. I think I should be on some sort of meds. I get along with my new girlfriend better when Im using. But she dont know and will Leave me if she finds out. So its either Im lazy bum for a boyfriend, or lying to her. Really bad situation. She hated it when I do nothing but sleep, and so do I. Meth cures me but I need to find something thats not illeagle. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like depression - have you been evaluated for that?

It could be depression, or it could be a thyroid issue. I have that, feel so tired when I get home I just conk out. I had to have a full panel done (blood work) and that was the deal. I'm on synthroid and it's a miracle!! I have to go back every six months or so to have blood work. I'd see your doctor.

I'm with the others on this one, depression, make sure you tell your Doctor EVERYTHING.
Take care

i agree with the others--also thats how you are gonna feel for awhile but if you build your dopamines in your brain back up by not using and staying healthy you will find that the you thats high is just the same as the you that feel good--or at least a close(better) second

My Daughter was a heavy ICE user and I can only tell you what I have learnt from her!

The issue is between you and the Drugs, not between you and others! You may have different partners, but there is only one of you!

You can move forward now and you don't need to look over your shoulder for your future!

We don't expect to see an infant walk perfectly the first time they try, the occasional fall is to be expected and things are no different when we are adults!

I am proud of you and my daughters efforts!

Hello Mezz,

In reply to your message, it's like you are talking about me, i stopped taking speed about 3 years ago and went back on it again for the very same reasons.
i am tired all the time to the point of i can't speak as i feel so drained. have been seeing a councellor for a couple of weeks and she thinks i have been depressed for quite a while. i am on antidipressants but still continue to take speed. if you find out anything to help you let me know.

Hi,

I agree with the post here, I am almost 3 years clean of cocaine,and I know how you feel.

I too would lay around for days on end, just feeling drained and lost and depressed.

EXERCISE really helped me. Once I finally got the energy to get up and dressed, I started to focus a lot of my time on working out. It kept my mind off drugs and I started to get my energy back! Instead of laying around, get up and MOVE!
