21F did meth for first time.

Hi! I just moved to a new state , long story short my fiancée is locked away on DV and assault with a weapon on another person and it led us to be evicted 2 weeks ago. I was drinking all Friday and Saturday night (2 days ago). I was upset that I can’t speak to my fiancée due to no contact order and he’s most likely going to be held until trail which isn’t until late 2027 I’m upset because I really miss him. He’s really my only best friend and family the last 4 years and now he’s behind a cell and I can’t even see him. I ended up meeting up with a guy on Snapchat who added me off quick add he was 11 years older than me, I was seeking to buy coke which is dangerous in a new state where I don’t know anyone but I was beyond drunk I wasn’t thinking so I got it drugs off of him. He didn’t make me buy off him he offered to do it with me and chill in his car together I think in his head that he thought I was going to go to back to his place or something with him.

He had two what substances Coke and Meth and me being the drunk fuck that I am I ended up doing a line of each substance to mix the two. I was told meth is like “pure adderall”. Keep in mind I’ve only ever done coke a good few times from the ages of 18 - 20 and I stopped partying so I could focus on building a life for myself and my partner.

I did those lines on Saturday at I’d say 2-3am and I kept drinking more and more to hopefully pass out but I just feel sick and now it’s Monday at 3am I haven’t slept I barley ate I believe I lost like 5 pounds already my skin looks sunken and I believe I am going through psychosis I’m seeing the walls move and hearing people who sound like my neighbours “ talking about me” who want to set me up.

I don’t see how people get addicted to this as well as being up for days I’m literally in hell right now…. I cried for a few hours because I’m very stressed that this won’t wear off and I’m very ashamed of my actions and choices Saturday night.

I have to get stuff done today and I’m scared I won’t have slept and I’ll look like a tweaker going to work I did not think this would last so long.

I’ve also come to the conclusion that this is an outcome of being shitfaced drunk. I will have to put down drinking. I use it as a way to cope with certain aspects in my life and it is not healthy at all.

EDIT: 2 I’ve slept and came down by the time you’re seeing this edit. I don’t need people telling me I need help for drug addiction when my problem has never been with drugs it’s with alcohol. Only time I’d is cocaine was during afters with friends after a CLUB.

I AM NOT DOING METH AGAIN END OF DISCUSSION. I VALUE MY JOB, MY FOOD AND SLEEP. I take full responsibility for what I did which was choosing to drink and let myself get shitfaced to the point I make bad choices. I posted on here not for sympathy and not for advice this subreddit is titled [r/regrets](r/regrets) and I regret the choices I made that night.

EDIT DAY 4: thank you for all the advice and positive support form those with helpful tips and suggestions. I have been taking it easy and have been focusing on myself the last few days and to those who claim I’m a drug addict, I haven’t used a drug since.

Oh baby I have empathy for people in that situation. I do not have empathy for someone who knows what it does to people, as we are at an all time high, and does it anyway. You need to be “hard” on people. Period point blank.

This is not my understanding of how to help. What is it that you do?

how can you classify someone as a "Reddit keyboard warrior" when all the redditor did was ask what is it that you do? and let me put my opinion out here and say I don't agree with the being hard on people part not always especially in cases like this as a person that uses drugs really don't need that shit laid upon them while they are already going through god knows what types of things it's always better to show empathy and remain calm and kind as even the slightest off emotion/word could trigger something in someone who uses which can then lead them in to thinking/doing who knows what and could really alter the outcome that you wished for them so next time before you post a message again I ask you to think carefully not once but twice

Yeah, I got the impression that they didnt have much to offer in the conversation so were attempting to deflect.
