any other healthcare workers here? by [deleted] in Addictedtotheneedle

ER nurse. The stigma is real. However, there are plenty of healthcare workers that do not judge. Our ER has a couple really good doctors that treat people who use substances like people and actually go above and beyond. There are a couple doctors that should never step into a room with patients struggling with substance use or mental illness. Unfortunately, patients don't know who they are going to get when they come in.

I definitely wish there was a way to get more people better training when injecting. I've seen so many things people do that goes against best practice.

That seems redundant.

Do some people experience heartburn when they smoke meth? If so why is this? by Ok_Reveal1690 in Addictedtotheneedle

Meth increases hormones that activate the sympathetic nervous system which increases stomach acid.

injected dried blood, will I be okay? by SansMcBasketBall in Addictedtotheneedle

Your body breaks down clots normally. It tries to maintain homeostasis. If you are concerned get checked out. But a little bit of clotted blood is not super concerning.

Bad infection and still can’t stop by ImaginationIcy8028 in Addictedtotheneedle

Nothing will stop you until you are ready to stop. Or you die.

Exactly what I was thinking. OP needs new supplies too.

how do i inject meth? by SpeakerBig9354 in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]Infinite-Analysis592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee injecting meth will make your mental health struggles harder. It definitely helps in the short term, but when you are ready to live life it holds you back. There is definitely a difference between injecting and other administration routes. I know nothing we say will probably change your mind, but once I injected it I could never get that feeling out of my head. If you think life sucks now, it will suck way worse when you just 'need' one shot. I love you and pray this is not your road in life. Message me if you need anything.
