#Substance Use Disorder

[neuroticboyfriend]

addicts are included in neurodivergent and disabled pride. our experiences matter. we matter. our voices deserve to be heard, and our lives deserve to be celebrated. that is the crux of pride - it's not about encouraging harmful behavior, it's about encouraging disenfranchised, marginalized people to love themselves no matter their story. and that has to include addicts.

This one’s for all my friends on here with problems.

If you’re having a trauma or anxiety episode, if you’re thinking about killing yourself, you just need to make it through tonight. The morning won’t make everything good, but things will be better.

Do what you need to do. If you’re struggling to make it through this moment, there are things like exercise for anxiety, cold water on the face for anxiety or flashbacks, other distress tolerance skills. Use your skills, white knuckle it. Don’t use substances or behaviors. Surf the urge.

Try to get some sleep. It’ll be better if you do, but the morning will still be better than the night if you don’t. If you can’t sleep, see if you can lie down and listen to or watch something comforting, maybe with your eyes closed.

If you can’t do that, see if you can be kind to yourself. Maybe that feels natural right now, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe you don’t deserve it. Try it anyway. If there’s some cosmic (or literal) debt to be paid for it, you can pay it in the morning.

Try to be kind. If you can eat, eat something comforting. If you’re in a bed or couch, maybe curl up with a soft blanket or stuffed animal. Smell something that smells like home.

This isn’t about solving the problem, this is about getting you to a place where solving the problem might be possible. It’ll probably take more than a night. But right now, we’re just making it through to see the sun again.

I really, really need people who claim to be anti-ableist to stop using stigmatizing language around substance use disorders (addictions) and to stop using substance use as an insult.

I saw someone go off on the light it up blue campaign and then yell at the designer of the campaign poster to snort cocaine until they od.

Friend, you can't claim to be anti-ableist and then tell someone to kill themselves with a disorder that is highly prevalent among disabled people because of a lack of access to treatment, isolation, and symptom/pain management.

Anyways I had to block them. If you want to be anti-ableist, learn about substance use disorders and take some online recovery ally trainings. That is hugely beneficial to disabled, queer, neurodivergent, and poc communities as all these communities are disproportionately affected by substance use disorders.

addiction is a chronic illness! addicts are disabled! anti-addict stigma is a form of ableism and sanism! the separation of addicts from disability is a lie sold to you to justify anti-addict ableism and separate us from our community and society! please remember addicts - and people with substance use disorders in general - when talking about disability, neurodivergence, and mental health!

“You’re using up resources needed for sick people!” Ben was told.

“This is what we call a boozer,” he overheard.

A doctor told him, “This is the last time I’m going to save your life!”

Idk if it’s just a me thing but stimulants really make my ASPD and NPD traits very strong so I should prolly stop doing them tbh but idk I like the feeling of not caring and being on top it’s a change from the usual feeling like vulnerable, weak, vulnerable to anything that will destroy my ego or sense of self I hate BPD the most as it’s my predominant disorder and even though it’s getting better I still have bad days sorry if this gets long I’m typing on stimulants so I’m feeling wordy and ready to show others how I’m feeling prolly from the MDMA i took as well but idk and my ex is so goofy like they really think that there words hurt me still like your words just roll off me but maybe that’s a deep defense mechanism cuz the words really DO hurt me deep down but my ego won’t let me realize it I hope he doesn’t see this lmao im a mess rn it’s embarrassing sorry I’m just putting my feels somewhere prolly no one Gonna see this

Criminalizing addiction is vile. Punishing people for having a stillbirth or a miscarriage or a fucking abortion is vile.

i can feel myself making bad decisions again. following my footsteps to the liquor store to select the most disgusting poison that I don't even want. it sizzles in my empty stomach; I know I should eat. nothing sounds appealing. should i binge and purge and get it over with now? eat a normal meal and use skills to not make bad turn into worse? continue drinking and hope to fall asleep, forget, awake to a drop in weight due to dehydration, a delusional delight to me?

i'm skipping a friendsgiving for this hell of isolation and urges. the social stamina and ED masking I'd have to do at such an event seemed exhausting. but alas, now I am home alone, and sad.
