Its really speed, and I tell people this all the time.. You are using legal speed and no child deserves that kind of abuse

Seek psychiatric help and try to get help from your parents if they are still available for you.

If you seek the proper medical resources, people can and will help wean you off of your addiction.

There are many survivors of addictions, after all.

Don’t try to deal with this on your own. You need to seek professional help to help break the addiction. Are you still living with your parents? If so, tell them. If not, there are agencies that will provide free/low cost assistance to help you. Do this today - don’t wait.

Also, can you tell me what state or country you are in? There are places that can help if you know where to look.
