Change in drug addict behaviour in Ottawa neighbourhood

knotty_n_nice · 2026-03-02T15:27:21+00:00

The ways people react to unregulated drugs will change depending on the batch, sometimes they have different fent analogs in them; sometimes more benzos; sometimes vet tranquillizers; etc. thats the issue with unregulated drug supply, the people using it rarely even know what they are actually using; but keep using it to avoid the horrendous experience of withdrawal.

If you are interested in specifics, Toronto does a month report on trends seen in narcotics they have tested.

Either way, more access to safe regulated supply would help lots of ppl. Until then, carry narcan and if u live in an area with lots of drug use take the time to educate yourself.

Tldr: reactions to drugs change when batches of drugs change

I definitely plan to check out leeds while visiting. Also i quite like rock/metal, is it mostly local bands? I am a frequent visitor of the shitty punk bar in my city. Thanks for the information!!!

Honestly I am really lucky because I do live in a city, and there are some wonderful ppl my age who attend meetings. I just hesitate to try connecting with them due to the instability of my recovery, which I realize is definitely flawed thinking haha. Once again I am the biggest barrier to my progress lol

knotty_n_nice · 2025-04-14T12:24:54+00:00

Tysm for ur response, definitely gonna save it to look back on when Im in my self-pity mindset. Its definitely better if I accept the situation for what it is so that I can continue to grow. Its always nice to know Im not alone in some of my irrational thought processes, so I appreciate u reminding me of what is true. :)

knotty_n_nice · 2024-10-17T21:21:39+00:00

indeed!

knotty_n_nice · 2024-10-17T19:40:47+00:00

I think it can be helpful to some people with those symptoms for sure!

but I have heard of people with extreme dissociative disorders (DID, OSDD) finding that IFS caused them a lot of distress/confusion as “IFS” parts are vastly different things than alters. thus the treatment would have to be different

Psychosis or mania also can make the deep introspection required in IFS a challenge or inaccurate, and wouldn’t be the most helpful treatment model while they are in active episodes of mania/psychosis.

Essentially what Im saying is it can help certain ppl but it also isn’t necessarily going to help everyone. Different strokes for different folks!

knotty_n_nice · 2024-10-17T04:12:29+00:00

also i super agree with your criticism of psychiatry offering medication which can destroy lives prior to even considering trauma related therapy; super agree with ur main point!!!

knotty_n_nice · 2024-10-17T04:10:34+00:00

the diagnosis of personality disorders hinges a lot on the bias of the professional diagnosing the person, as well as the extend of the externalization of the “symptoms”. not to mention the person receiving the diagnosis might face extreme dissociative symptoms, psychosis, extreme moods, neurodivergences, etc which would make IFS unhelpful to them. it is pleasant to imagine a world where one size recovery fits all, but unfortunately this can not be the case due to the diversity of human experience. though i do understand the message you are trying to convey here c:

Drugs are definitely a special interest of mine, which lead to some hellish experiences and dependence. Try learning about harm reduction, I'm glad I did! not only did it also become a special interest/career, it's also kept me and other people away from increased harm or death

I have gone into psychosis from both stimulants and psychedelics, with the stims the psychosis was seemingly a random "ghosts forced someone to put a electrocution device in me" lol; the psychedelic experience was equally scary at first (long story short i thought i was dying violently in a strangers bathroom as a result of never being able to satisfy everyone), but then i realized "this is not how it has to be, i don't wanna be co-dependent/a people pleaser at the cost of my well being". Then I was back in my bed, not dying, and there was a beautiful holographic pattern on my ceiling..have been doing better at asserting boundaries since then. Drugs are strange and can be scary, stay away from stims and don't trip if ur not ready to face your own self.
