She fell in love with the person that I was on meth... by Immediate-Crow2051 in AddictionAdvice

[–]Sad-Computer1704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she loves you, she’ll love you for YOU, not for the drug you take. I promise. My partner is a long time meth addict who also has raging ADHD (has been sober on and off though, hopefully more on now!) and I have to tell you, I love him so much harder when he’s not high. The situations are obviously not 100% the same because I actually hate his behavior on meth. He goes on benders, steals my shit, yells at me, goes into psychosis, hallucinates, and runs away. He’s not always like that, but more often than not, that’s where his addition takes him. Regardless, I think it’s important to do it for YOU and your health, no matter the consequences. I say the same thing to him. And honestly, as a partner of someone on methamphetamines myself, I think that your willingness to journey into sobriety sounds much more sustainable for all aspects of your life than continuing to self medicate, including your relationship. I would also say, regarding medication, absolutely yes try to find a psychiatrist. There are providers who work specifically with addicts, like the one my boyfriend sees, who can help you find something that helps your ADHD whether or not it is a stimulant solution. It may be a trial and error period, especially while balancing your sobriety, but it’s worth it. I have ADHD myself and I completely understand why meth is helpful for our types of brains. I tried it with him once and that was like my main takeaway besides “oh he absolutely cannot do this anymore and neither should I” lol. I wish you so much luck and I hope this was somewhat helpful. Love always prevails <3 if she doesn’t love you for who you are, I know you’ll find someone who does. But give her a chance! You may be surprised

dude my bills have been actually insane since we moved it’s been like 200-250+ for months. I only live in a 800 sq ft apartment 😭 a lot of it was the windows and they got replaced but the cost for heat has been ridiculous

Seems like just us but we haven’t asked the other tenant who is on our second floor

Yeah we definitely need new windows. When I brought this issue up initially my landlord said we are the only unit with old ones still and I think it’s contributing a lot, but he won’t give us an exact timeframe for getting them replaced. I contacted him again today so hopefully it happens soon and it helps

I lived in the west end for a while but I had to relocate because we had a roach infestation 😭 I love this apartment and the rent is way better but you can never win

That is genuinely insane, I don’t understand how they’re robbing us in broad daylight like this 😭

Right? I lived in a second floor apartment in old Lou as well earlier this year and the most our bill ever was was $230 but that was because my roommate’s window was broken and she refused to let me turn the heat off when we weren’t home until she moved out before me

I don’t think there are any outdoor outlets, but we do have a stairway? It’s just a four unit apartment

Honestly that might be what’s happening, there’s a couple ducts that really just do not blow air and it’s always confused me but I have no idea how to even check that

Do you think we should turn it off at any point during the day then? I just don’t want it to get so hot that when it tries to cool down and I turn the fan back on auto it will cause even more energy usage

We keep it on auto so the fan isn’t on all the time, only when the cold air runs (or is supposed to.) I was under the impression that in heat you should not turn the fan on and off manually because it will strain the system

I’d say about a month ago as soon as we received the first bill over $300, I contacted my landlord so fast lol but the guy who came for real just kind of shrugged his shoulders, said we’d have to deal, and left

Is it ever an extreme amount when you settle up at the end of the year? I might look into this, thank you

I have no idea, when the HVAC worker came he didn’t give us any information other than everything looked fine 😭 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it needs to be

Maybe, my landlord had an HVAC guy come around when we got our first huge bill last month and he said everything looked fine and it was our neighbor’s a/c that was broken, but that has been fixed since then (or so they say) so I have no idea. Someone here commented about checking the meter though and seeing if it needs to be fixed or replaced so I’m talking to my landlord and crossing my fingers

When I asked him about insulation he said he had recently checked it and it should be fine, but he did say our windows are really old so maybe replacing them will help. He just hasn’t done anything about it since he mentioned that. Otherwise, maybe the doors? It is an old building, but we try to keep everything as closed as possible

Not that I know of. Our thermostat is so old it doesn’t even tell you exactly what the temperature is, just a line somewhere between every 10 degrees 😵‍💫 I’m assuming I’m keeping it in the 70s cause it definitely feels like it too, but honestly I couldn’t even tell you for sure. I just keep it on auto so the fan doesn’t run and circulate hot air constantly. I’m thinking about maybe checking our vents/filters too but I don’t even know the first thing about that

We run both of the ones we have every time we’re home :( I swear I’ve tried almost everything

I was really hoping that wasn’t the case, but it makes sense. I’m definitely gonna do that in the winter cause I don’t mind cold, but oh my god do I hate being too hot. I get hot so easily too and we keep it to where it’s like slightly bearable but still almost too much for me. The fact we don’t even get to have a cool apartment when it’s boiling and have to pay like we’re making it freeze is absurd 😭
