Gender: female

I live in GA i am seventeen. I first tried meth when i was about 13 because my siblings were doing it. At first i thought it was amazing but never stayed up on it more than 48 hours. My brother in law was a semi driver so we did it all the time. I was in the truck with him one night i had been up that time for about 3 days.. and i was in the sleeper in the back of the truck. Trying to smoke meth. I did alittle too much i guess but in the middle of a truck stop far from home my heart started beating really hard and fast like it was coming out of my chest. my skin started burning and my pupils were beating with my heart and everything was moving. I really thought my heart was fixing to explode and i was gonna die. the only thing i could think was i wanted my mama and how ashamed she would be if she had to hear i died from an overdose on meth she always held higher standards for me.but my brother in law got me some benadryll and i kinda dozed off and on but when i woke i started hearing voices and seeing things, and my heart was beating weird. i went through the hallucinations for about 3 days then they finally went away and i was able to in a way go back to normal life, but this was about 3 years ago.. and my heart beat still is not normal
