Advice needed please. My friend has been u seing off and on for about 4 years and I never really noticed any changes but lately she is angry aggressive and has been violent. I talked to her and she is doing more and more often. She said she .can still stop when she's ready and to show me she didn't use for about 5 days. I don't know that much about meth but she said you won't really be addicted unless you shoot up. She has PTSD from emotional and physical abuse and depression and night terrors. She said that meth helped the depression and I think it did for a while but now is making it worse. How can I help her without making her feel worse about herself, or is it possible that she can just stop on her own. I will say the violent a t was a man being rude she told him off he bite her face and she lost it and beat the he'll out of him but it was still out of character of her. I feel she is lossing the battle with PTSD and feels this is her only option. Please her me, I love my friend.
Your friend has to want help. No one can want it for her. I know it is hard. The lies are part of the denial and what she tells herself to continue to use. When her consequences are bad enough, she'll reconsider, but not before.
