Earlier this year I was tying to detox at home by myself from a heavy heroin/opiate habit I ended up not sleeping for 5 days.

I became incredibly paranoid. I would swear I was hearing people outside wanting to come in. Since I was alone with my dog, I locked us in the bedroom together all night.

At the same time I didn’t feel like I wasn’t here. It was almost like I was living in a dream. Like I wasn’t a real person anymore. I was just in this lonely void.

It was fucking terrifying and I ended up buying more drugs to stop it so I could sleep.
