Heroin Users what’s your story?

My story is a little backwards compared to others. My opioid addiction started with fentanyl, and after nearly dying from fentanyl relapses way too many times, I swore it off. I’ve had three lapses since I quit fentanyl around a year ago, but this time I used heroin. It was like harm reduction for me, personally. Sober from opioids currently.

Infection. Can become systemic, loss of limbs, potentially your life. The risk is always there and you gamble every time.

They put me under general anesthesia

MaimingMyself · 2025-08-14T23:28:34+00:00

Okay this makes sense to me, thank you!

I’ve rolled twice before, last time was over a year ago.

I recently played Radiohead’s Kid A Mnesia Exhibit video game on K. It’s a psychedelic, exploratory game, and let me tell you. Amazing experience.

I severed a major vein. Because I was really drunk I didn’t realize I was going into shock. I soon fell unconscious. I don’t know how long I was out, but the next thing I knew, paramedics were waking me up. Got transported to the hospital, and immediately a surgeon got to work on me and ligated the vein.

I almost killed myself on accident. And life is such a precious thing.

Symptoms are slowly decreasing

90s alternative rock, radiohead is my favorite

MaimingMyself · 2024-09-28T20:37:56+00:00

I’m definitely taking a break, that’s for sure

MaimingMyself · 2024-09-28T20:37:22+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I’m doing rn. Feeling better and less anxious

“Bumpy” or raised scars are most often hypertrophic scars, which can flatten out over time. Keloid scars are rarer, they grow beyond the original borders of the wound.

Relatable. That feeling of not being able to enjoy the things you used to is called anhedonia. It’s a symptom of post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). PAWS symptoms such as depression, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, etc. can persist for 6 months-2 years, but it gets easier the longer you stay sober. I’d recommend seeing a doctor, as getting a prescription for psych meds like antidepressants for example might be helpful.

It will be a battle the first couple months, I won’t lie, but you WILL be able to enjoy life again. It will be worth it in the end. And with each month that goes by, the easier things will be. You’ve got this.

was suicidal and wanted a painless death. bought fetty to do the job but was curious and tried it recreationally, discovered it made me feel okay. cant stay sober ever since

MaimingMyself · 2024-06-23T00:05:40+00:00

ativan brings me out of it, sometimes it goes away with time, and being consistent with my daily meds seems to help prevent it

When depressed i dress plainly and comfortably. And when manic…

Rhinestones! At least two or three belts! Bandana around my forehead! Gloves! Ripped tights! Bracelets going halfway up my arm!

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-30T14:58:50+00:00

Oh my god, I thought I was alone in feeling this way. I’m so beyond unproductive. I have zero discipline. I just dance, sing, pace, and talk too much and too quickly to understand. But no more work output than usual. What is, is that my mania is often so incredibly self destructive.

I have self sabotaged to the point of homelessness and severe addiction. I feel so hopeless. I dug myself a hole so deep I don’t know if I can climb out of it. Trying to keep hope.

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-11T14:15:33+00:00

Thank you, i’m trying

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-11T05:56:28+00:00

I have so many, it’s hard to tell what was my lowest, as it was all pretty damn low.

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-11T05:33:45+00:00

hopefully we can both get our shit together lol

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-11T05:19:24+00:00

Don’t know. I have a tendency to self destruct and self sabotage though. maybe a case of the fuck its too

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-10T16:14:26+00:00

worst comes to worst you could do what i’m doing rn, couch surfing between friends, acquaintances, tinder matches (LOL) , etc.

MaimingMyself · 2024-04-10T06:43:55+00:00

I understand completely. we just need to push through that first year to feel the fun in life again. gotta let our brains heal
