Are any of you Junkie skinny? Sick, drugs, insanity, doctors, insomnia

The joints of my limbs are like the knots of a rope. My fingers are thin like branches of a tree and my face is gaunt and pale. My eyes are droopy and dead looking. What I don’t understand is that I have been clean off drugs for months now so I don’t understand why this is happening to me. Usually this happens when under heavy opiate use. The only thing keeping me alive is fluids like water and tea and some hot soup, but most times I just can’t finish it and throw the rest in the bin. I haven’t slept or eaten for weeks and I feel like I am going fucking insane with my head feeling all fuzzy and boiling. I need serious help before I end up jumping off a bridge sooner or later when shit hits the fan. Has anyone else here been Junkie skinny before? I am recently off my anti-psychotic meds and things just aren’t improving. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I am still on my anti-depressants.
 Does anyone know? Any similar experiences?
I am posting in the Pub because I will get more responses.

I can't say for sure because you are on anti-depressants and coming off anti-psychotics..
It sounds like you just have serious insomnia. This would mess up your bodily image, make you depressed, and destroy your appetite. Along with this, it leads to some serious issues. Humans are simply primates, we need sleep to recuperate.
I'd go check in with a doctor about the sleeping thing if I was you, that one might not turn around on its own.

I tried smoking weed and it didn't do anything. My apetite is just not there anymore. I feel like I am slowly dying or something.

I told my doctor countless times about my insomnia but he hasn't done anything to help me. He keeps wanting to higher my anti-depressants cause he thinks it's just depression. I am mentally dying here, ugh . I need help...I will call him one more last time and see if he will help me...if not...fuck my life

Trust me, I have tried and it comes back out. I've vomitted a few times because I tried forcing myself to eat. It just isn't working. I have tried again and again and nobody is helping me...they think I am lazy or acting...they don't believe there is anything wrong with me . I need help! HELP!

try eating small snack sized high nutrient things throughout the day, so you don't feel like you are gorging. as mentioned sleep is essential. even if you can't sleep try to get some quiet shut eye to help your body repair.

Maybe if I go back on Olazanpine...things will improve a bit...or maybe not...I just don't know what to do anymore. No amount of meds can clear my mind or make me better...I need out

Here's your problem here man; a lot of your problems could be down to a lack of sleep. Put in some time to get some rest and chances are you'll feel less like your going insane and your appetite will likely improve too.

When I got off opiates I was about 30 pounds skinnier than I am now. I was "junkie skinny."
The only the thing that eventually brought back my appetite was exercise and weed. Even if it's just a walk down the street or going for a quick swim, your appetite slowly comes back man. Good luck.
I'm sure the lack of sleep is also affecting your appetite. Maybe try DPH. 50mg's of it would put me to sleep, even if it was just for a few hours.

Even when I do get sleep, the problem still stays the same. I don't wanna sound like an asshole, but I don't think anyone here understands . What's the point of trying to get better...ugh. I feel like giving up now! The problem is insomnia and I've suffered it for years...that's why I have black bags under my eyes. I was prescribed Zimovane and it helped a lot...I slept like a baby and then they stopped giving it to me and I fell back into the hole. I don't want to rely on meds for the rest of my life, but if there is no other way then I guess I am gonna have to pull up my socks and take it . Stress, anxiety and depression is probably another factor that comes into play why I can't sleep. I have tried going for long walks, exercise, reading, banging my head, listening to music, opiates, weed etc...it doesn't work. There's too much brain activity or energy. The only time I had a good apetite was when I was on anti-psychotic meds...I kept eating and eating non-stop. I seriously need to get out of this hell hole of a country

See I don't think I can give much advice when it comes to dealing with insomnia because it's something I never had to suffer with. The only thing you can really do is figure out what has been going on in your life that causes you to suffer from insomnia (whether is it stress from work, stress from college, etc) and try to deal with that.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think anyone can be insomniac by nature, not unless you had serious problems with sleeping from very early on in life (but like I said maybe I'm wrong )
