Hii.I hope youâre doing fine.
Nearly after a month of being clean, I was feeling the same so strongly that I found myself on the verge of collapse.
But instead I took a psychiatric appointment randomly, choosing the first psychiatrist I found on the internet who looked fine and took the appointment the same day. That was the best decision Iâve made.
Staying clean from amphetamines is not easy for many different reasons, from the lack of motivation to even gaing weight as for me myself.
I used to see another psychiatrist before, but I wasnât honest with him. I never told him of my addiction. So I changed my psychiatrist out of nowhere and surprisingly that worked. Iâm on new meds now those are really helping me stay away from illigal drugs. Today I had another appointment and despite my previous experience with years of useless treatment, itâs helping and I owe that only to being honest with my recent psychiatrist. I try to tell him whatever that bothers me, no matter how ridiculous it seems.
If itâs possible for you see a psychiatric, or if you already are and itâs not working, try being honest with them or just choose another person.
Thereâs always help if you feel drained.
I wish you the best

Hi @Chevelle sorry to hear about your struggle. I can imagine it is hard. Meth is not something I have used myself but I have heard enough to understand some of what it can be like to recover from it.
The good news is your worst day sober is better than your best day when you were using, so at least thatâs a win (though I know it doesnât always feel that way).
You can browse posts here from other people recovering from meth by searching the thread tags (most threads have have tags under the title, little keywords like âmethâ or âalcoholâ, so people can see the main subjects of the thread). This search (link below) brings up all the threads tagged âmethâ or âmethamphetamineâ - I bet if you browse them youâll find some posts about what youâre going through now.
Donât give up. It is possible to learn a way to live clean and generally happy, patient, and free. (It comes and goes in waves but it does work.) It takes time and some struggles (physical and mental) but it is possible.

Welcome. I have 10 years off meth and just want to say it does take time to get emotions and motivation to return. I myself relied on meth to perform everything I needed to do. Unfortunately I turned to alcohol after quitting drugs but can truly say after 15 months sober my emotional state including motivation to live the greatest life has returned. I am glad you found us. Take it one day at a time and be good to yourself.
