Weird surreal feeling a week after taking cocaine?
Hi People, I went out last friday, and started drinking around 4 in the afternoon, then we got some coke and started doing that. I had a gram to myself and snorted that in the space of around 3 hours, as well as continuing to drink. Then we had more and more cocaine and we didnt actually stop until 4 the NEXT DAY! I really am ashamed of my behaviour and i will never do it again. But heres my problem.... its now friday a whole week later and all week i've felt like im in a dream, nothing seems real, i feel light headed and i cannot concentrate on anything!! i dont know whether now because ive spent all week worrying that i still feel this way but im having panic attacks, i cant think of anything good and this surreal feeling ive got is making me feel like im going mad!! i actually feel like im losing my mind. i dont know if its just me coz i am a worrier but i just wanna go back to being myself again, im so scared that im never gonna feel the same again!! ive been to see like 4 docs this week and they've all said im not going mad and its normal to still feel this way after such a binge but ive taken cocaine before and it never had this effect on me. please help if there's anyone out there that has felt like me.. i need some reassurance before i go insane, that is if i havent already!!!!!!! help and please dont judge, i regret what ive done and im paying the price. also just to mention ive been prescribed temazapam for sleeping because of the panic attacks and anxiety... everything is so surreal i just want my life back i dont feel like myself anymore HELP!!!
What is the biggest regret you did while high on cocaine?
The biggest regret I did while high on cocaine, was more cocaine. And then more. And then more.Eventually, I started selling it as a way of keeping myself supplied, keep the cash flow going, and doing more, and more, and more.It wasn't long before I maxed out my credit cards to pay back the money I skimmed from the company till. I also began owing a shit ton of money to people who had no sense of humor about it.And, eventually it led to me facing imminent arrest and losing my personal freedom.Other than that, no regrets.
Do you regret taking cocaine? I did it a lot, from around 1975 to 1986. I missed a lot of musical wonders even though I was in the room for them: cocaine is the enemy of empathy and engagement.
You know someone’s going to ask about reds and Vitamin C at some point.Seriously, I have certainly done other dumb shit in my life, stuff that has had a lasting negative impact to this very day… just not that particular one, so I don’t really have that regret. Others, sure.Example: marrying a guy who talked quite neutrally about, also during the ‘80s, having a cocaine addiction to such an extent that he pawned his stereo and everything else of value not nailed down. I was quite a bit more sheltered and ten years younger, and I’m sure I was staring at him like “U wot m8?” as he told this rambling story in the same tone as he might tell a particularly amusing tale of Things Seen While Tripping. (Such as a tiny version of himself. I suppose that may be how he got so far up his own ass…) Later it became increasingly apparent that he had merely switched the cocaine addiction for alcohol. I’m not at all sure that’s an improvement. It certainly didn’t give him any empathy, and he only engaged with things until they exceeded his frustration tolerance, at which point he would take up a new fad — he had been a rather good amateur photographer, with some quite nice captures of Etta James and other musicians at a blues festival, which I praised in detail. Then one of his two camera bodies broke in some really minor way. We had the money to fix it, but for some reason he never touched either camera again… and I was too scrupulous to steal his camera bag when I divorced him.
I have developed a rash on my face 2days after taking cocaine. they are little pimples all over my face and th?
they're called crack pimples. google the term "meth faces" usually occurs after prolonged use of methamphetamine however cocaine is pure, in most cases. So I'd say you got bad quality coke, with cutters in it and thats whats causing your pimple condition. i'm not judging you, by the way, experimentation is normal, and coke's pretty damn good. they tend to go away in time, don't scratch them, or they'll scar.
How can I avoid doing cocaine when I'm drunk?
Self-control. And don't buy it. It's not like you can just pick it up at Wal mart!
Have you ever tried cocaine?????????
i dont want to try it. but every one experienment with something in their life and if you have tried cocaine, what did you think about it?? i dont see what the big deal is. when i see people do it in the movies they dont act any different so i cant picture it as being anything spectacular.

What drug or drugs do you not regret trying?
All of them. The illegal ones at least. I regret trying Prozac. That did some long term damage. Seroquel probably did too. But as for marijuana, opioids, amphetamines, psilocybes, LSD, DMT, and the other drugs that you were probably thinking of when you asked the question, nope. No regret at all. There's nothing to regret. I've never been an addict and my experiences have been almost entirely positive except for the threat of law enforcement.
What is best way to stop cocaine use?
The hardest part for me (and many other addicts) in getting clean is that no matter how awful you feel/how bad you want to get clean, the brain likes to trick addicts. So you get high, it makes you feel like shit, and you regret it. You tell yourself you're done. Then a few hours go by, maybe a couple days if you're lucky, and your brain forgets about the horrid feelings and instead makes you think about how wonderful the drug is. Some people call it ‘romanticizing the high’.So the obvious solution is to remind yourself about the reality of the horrible-ness of addiction, no? Yeah, well, it sounds easy in theory if you have great self/thought/impulse control but addicts really aren't well known for any of those.My advice then is this: sit down with a pen and paper. Write down any and all negative things about coke as well as addiction. Even if it's just slightly annoying. I can't really speak for what you might put down but if I were to make such a list specifically for coke I'd put major things like intense paranoia (and to make it more powerful write exactly what that feels like) and also things that are just a pain in the ass like not being able to get ahold of your connect so you waste your money calling that kid down the street (even though his shit sucks) cuz you just can't wait another hour. Write every little thing you think of and if something pops in your head later, save it on your phone or whatever so you can add it.So the next time you ‘romanticize’ pull out that list. Read it over, and over, and over til you make yourself sick. Don't stop re-reading til the urge passes. And if you end up relapsing, when you start regretting it again, add that to the list. How it feels to not be in control and to do things you don't want to. Every time you relapse, write it again.Do all that enough and your brain will learn how to correct itself. Eventually you won't have to pull out the list because you'll associate the craving with everything you wrote. Then, theoretically, your mind soon won't associate coke with anything other than all of the negatives.This won't happen overnight. Getting clean takes work, determination, and perseverance. But it can be done. Anyone strong enough to live the life of an addict is more than strong enough to beat it.
