did cocaine & low self-esteem almost get me family-annihilated while i was pregnant + postpartum? ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”ชโœจ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’€ chic.

ok yโ€™all.

so i did some
โœจlight googlingโœจ

๐Ÿ’€

and apparently
the #1 documented side effect
of cocaine is:

๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ๐Ÿ’€

โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ”ฅ becoming a fucking asshole. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ซ


likeโ€ฆ
โœจclinically.
โœจspiritually.
โœจrecreationally.
โœจfull-fucking-spectrum.
๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ

and i just sat there like:

wait a fucking second.
this shit tracks
too
fucking
hard.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

and ummm.
๐Ÿง  the common thread?
BABY!
itโ€™s giving powdered narcissism.๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿฅ‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซโœจ

โ€”

hold upโ€”
๐Ÿšจ disclaimer ๐Ÿšจ
for the defense counsel
creeping in my views:
๐Ÿ”ฅ iโ€™m not saying
i personally watched anyone
snort powder off an iphone screen.
iโ€™m saying the vibes are consistent
with stimulant-brain behavior. ๐Ÿ”ฅ
like, a working theory.
๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ
just saying
the conduct had
โœจsparkly white residueโœจ
all over it.

๐Ÿงพ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

โ€”

lol
but babe.

when i read
โ€œchronic stimulant use can
๐Ÿซ  blunt empathy +
๐Ÿซ  crank impulsivity +
๐Ÿซ  inflate ego defenses,โ€

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ๐Ÿฅ€


i literally went:
oh.
so itโ€™s not that iโ€™m dead inside.
๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

itโ€™s that i was trying
to emotionally negotiate
with someoneโ€™s

dopamine hostage situation.

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆโœจ


yes.
cocaine turns you intoโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ a whole certified dickhead. ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฉ

and honey,
like not just
regular level garbage ๐Ÿ”ฅโ€”
nah,
โšก๏ธ weโ€™re talking platinum-tier,
โšก๏ธ ego on uppers,
โšก๏ธ โ€œdo you even have feelings anymore?โ€ levels of asshole.
๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿง โœจ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’ฅ

โ€”

because the symptom list
is basically like thisโ€”

characteristics of being a piece of shit (vaguely) ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ’ฉโœจ

โœจ๐Ÿ‘ค empathy? โ†’ absolutely zero.
โœจ๐Ÿ“accountability? โ†’ who the fuck?
โœจ๐Ÿ’ฌ lying? โ†’ faster than the fucking speed of light.
โœจ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ guilt? โ†’ pops in for 3 seconds then goes ghostmode
โœจ๐Ÿ“› shame? โ†’ immediately outsourced to you.
โœจ๐Ÿšซ consequences? โ†’ donโ€™t interrupt his vibe, babe.
โœจ๐Ÿ‘‘ personality? nah. none. just weaponized charm

๐Ÿ™

like.
how did we go from
โšก๏ธ โ€œi love you and our familyโ€
to
โšก๏ธ "oops iโ€™m a felon in texas" ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿšฉ๐ŸŒช๏ธโœจ
โ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜ฆ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ๐Ÿซฃ
๐Ÿ’ฅ with no visible brain trauma?
๐Ÿ’ฅ only vibes and
๐Ÿ’ฅ a suspiciously dry nose?

lol

shit.
i was like,
๐Ÿ‘ค๐Ÿ’ญ
โ€œsurely, no one can
sustain this level
of
emotional emptiness
and moral insolvency
foreverโ€ฆโ€

๐Ÿฅ‚โœจ but they do.
with fucking confidence.

๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’€

like damn,
why do i feel so numb? ๐Ÿ˜ถโœจ๐Ÿ’ซ
idk bro,
๐Ÿช„โœจ
letโ€™s run that shit backโ€”
like wow.

โญ so the options are:

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ cocaine/stimulants
๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ untreated ptsd + personality disorder
๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ both, holding hands, skipping through my fucking peace.

๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’€

so if it
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป walks like a cokehead,
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป talks like a cokehead,
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป beats its wife like a cokehead, ๐Ÿ’ซ
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป lies like itโ€™s fucking breathing,
and forgets christmas
while asking for goddamn gas moneyโ€ฆ
๐Ÿซข๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ๐ŸŽ‰
then idk bro.
maybeโ€ฆ
homie might be going
heavy on the blow.๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ

either way,
if youโ€™re wondering why
you felt ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ
๐Ÿšฉ gaslit,
๐Ÿšฉ violated,
๐Ÿšฉ confused,
๐Ÿšฉ defrauded,
๐Ÿšฉ and then blamed for itโ€ฆ

congrats babe.

๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’–โœจ

you might
not be fucking crazy.
๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ’ซ
you might
just be dealing
with someone whose
soul took a bump
and never came the fuck back.

๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿ’ซ

โ€”

so???
๐Ÿ’– was it domestic violence
or
๐Ÿ’– just a lil bit of blow?

โœจ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ”ช

idk man
but feels a lot likeโ€”
๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’ cocaine said "for worse"
and
he took that shit literally ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฉ
