Do meth addicts know why they are
tired?
I was
wondering if meth users are aware of the reason for them being
so tired and sleeping after using for a while. Or do they lose
the ability to attribute any negative physical effects to the
use of the drug? My step daughter was so out of it yesterday
that she pretty much fell asleep every time she sat down. Then
she said, "I don't know WHY I am so tired. I think I've run
myself down by being so busy." and later on, "Can depression
make someone this sleepy? I know I have depression..."
She actually sounded like she didn't KNOW why she would be so
tired. It's hard for me to understand how she couldn't see what
is so obvious. Is it possible that, with enough use, they truly
don't make the connection between the high and why they crash
afterwards? |

I think
she is just becoming a good liar. She is setting it up because
she knows you all are wondering why she is so tired so she just
goes ahead and answers ahead of time. Users know that they crash
when they aren't high any more. No time like the present for
some kind of change in that situation. |

My
addict would say the same things, but to me, it was always an
attempt at a cover-up. He knew I could see him physically
crashing so he would come up with something to say to make me
believe he was sick or getting the flu or just tired or
whatever.
With mine, he definitely knew, he just thought he could make me
believe that he wasn't using and couldn't possibly have anything
to do with that. |

That's what we call "Lying to cover our
a**," as if you didn't know why she was so tired.
Yes, we know why we are so tired. And yes, that is why we
usually go find another bag, to get "Untired."
She probably thinks she's fooling you. |

Well
IMO as an ex user they know exactly why they are tired! Just
trying to cover up so maybe know one else will know.
Meth sucks! |

Re: Do meth addicts know

I
actually might beg to differ.
When I was all messed up, I honestly, honestly, honestly
believed that my being tired, deranged, disorganized, etc. had
to do with "having ADD". My roommate recognized this as
bullshit, but when she tried to tell me that it's probably the
METH that is wiping me out, I honestly, honestly, honestly
thought that she was wrong.
Cause you know, meth "helps" not hurts, right?
Sure, I was lying to myself, but I didn't realize it. I was
believing the meth lies.
Remember, it's never meth's fault, it's never our bag that your
found (we are holding it for a friend, duh!), and no one can
possibly understand our terminally unique plight.
I hope your daughter can break free from the meth lies soon. |

She
knows she's tired. She anticipating you asking her why she's
falling out like that so she basically answers the question
before you ask. I mean it's not hard to figure out that you will
be tired if you stay up without sleep for days on end or even
after staying up for one or two nights you will be extremely
tired. The meth doesn't replace sleep, you still need to sleep
once you come down. She's just acting like a typical addict,
I've said the same thing many times myself. Sorry about your
situation. |
