What are the signs of psychosis?

He's been hearing noises-for example last night he swore he heard a scream-he said it was scarey. He heard it twice. As far as I know he's been using since last spring-how long does it take to create permanent mental problems? When he crashes he's very nit picky about everything-it's like nothing in his world is ok and I hear about it. He's lost a lot of weight. He looks so bad. He's nice when he's high and when he crashes he sleeps for two days off and on and is just grouchy! Is it possible that someone can actually stop the addiction of meth? What are the chances? What is he up against? What kind of support should I or should I not offer-I don't want to be enabling. Is my staying enabling him? I have so many questions and need so many answers. I have never been around drugs or experienced anything like this.

Re: What are the signs of psychosis?

it depends on what your mind set is when you begin.
........about 6 months ofr regular use would be enough to get it's claws in good.

Is it possible that someone can actually stop the addiction of meth?

no

What are the chances?

slim to none.

What is he up against?

He's got to hit bottom, he has to WANT to stop using.

What kind of support should I or should I not offer-I don't want to be enabling.

....there's nothing you can do, he's gone.
I suggest you back away.

Is my staying enabling him?

yes.
..he'll use you to yell at, and blame, and make ends meet that he dropped, responsibilities that are his, will be yours...

your new life will be covering for his addiction.

this is just my opinion.
....I was an active meth addict 22 years.
I know what happens, I saw it over and over.

in my relationships, and in my using friends.

.....speed is real hard on a relationship.
and on the individual.

I wish you well.
....you'll get more replys, so keep checking back.

I agree ....

There is really nothing you can do, except protect yourself at all cost. My ex-boyfriend really ran the gammit, he is/was a meth. addict for 15+ years, and before that it was Cocaine for 20+ .... when we got together, I had no knowledge of the Meth.

The only advise I can give you is this:

It will not stop, UNTIL YOU STOP IT!

I'm sorry, but that is the way it is. You didn't break it and you can't fix it.

Protect yourself at all cost.

Re: How Long?

.....or you are watching him become a monster, and flooding your memory with ugly, painful images and despair?
