Think I came face across my first 'meth face' yesterday.

Past Lifer 1957-2014 In Memoriam
In the entrance to my building I came across a lady who seemed to be in her twenties, wearing a hood, and with several sores the size of a pinky fingernail on her cheeks and forehead. Thing is, the lady looked familiar but I did not stare so I can't be sure. She reminded me of the young lady who used to live in the apartment across the corridor from mine.

This lady may in fact still be living there but I haven't seen her at her door or heard her since the fall. She was experiencing obvious personality changes at the time, getting increasingly furious over nothing. I could even hear her yelling in her apartment but she was alone there. She got a dog a few months ago and was yelling at it also. It's like something had sucked any hint of patience from her. She got into lots of verbal fights with the guy next door from her but he's moved since.

I really hope it's not her but the face and hoody sure looked like it was her. Can meth affect a person's face in just a few months? I thought it would take a couple of years. Might not be her since this lady had always been civil to me (I was always nice to her, giving her popsicles this summer...) and the person I crossed yesterday looked the other way without saying a word.

Sad, whoever that was. Just a shell now. 🙁
 
Presumably the bumps on her head could be from the fall you mentioned? Concussion would explain the mood swings.
 
If she is still suffering from an accident she had in the autumn it is probably quite serious. You shouldn't be so nasty about people who are suffering through no fault of their own. Has she been to a doctor?

What you see of her suffering on the outside may be nothing compared to what is happening to her emotionally and mentally.
 
She did not fall. Fall is a synonym of (another way of saying) autumn. It's the season between summer and winter. I haven't seen her since last fall, a few months ago.

And those were not bumps I saw. They were sores, open wounds like shallow red pits.

And how am I nasty? I am all kinds of empathic towards her plight and suffering.

Since her last fall? Are you saying she has them quite frequently? She sounds like my nanna who often has to go to the hospital when she has a fall. I hear my mum speaking to her on the phone about it and sometimes she starts crying.
 
Smoking meth is very bad on your face and mouth. If she's been going at it for a couple months straight, this decline could be possible.

"the fall."

lol you can't read.
 
Yes it can happen that fast. The "faces of meth" mugshots have dates on them to prove it. F'n scary stuff.

We've witnessed the transition between failed attempt at humor to downright trolling in just a few posts, folks.
 
The open sores are caused by scratching and a lack of sleep since meth often causes people to scratch and not sleep.

Sleep studies done on mice showed that mice kept awake for days at a time would develop gaping wounds that eventually become infected. Simply keeping an animal awake for days at a time makes them wither away both mentally and physically.
 
I wonder what she thought as she saw you? "Ugh! There's that creepy guy that was trying to give me Popsicles and was always staring at me."

I was starting to think that I was being trolled and stopped replying. Almost felt like saying no one can be that stupid but...

Interesting thought actually. Maybe she got some fake sores from a fancy dress shop, pretended to have a fall, etc.

If that is the same person. I'm not sure.:hmm:

WAIT? WHAT? 😱

(I just gave a popsicle occasionally when it was very warm last summer and she was still throwing stuff out. She did not have A/C in her apartment.)

Very true, but open sores can also be caused by an allergic reaction and prolonged exposure.

Lets say that their allergic to codeine, but their addicted to pills with codeine. They break out in a rash, and overtime the parts of the rash turn into open sores.

I have a fiend thats and RN and works the emergency room. She told me they see people with open sores all over their bodies from time to time, especially in people who are allergic to codeine.

So if the young lady is strung out on crack or crystal meth, she might be allergic to something in the drug, which makes her break out and develop open sores from prolonged exposure.
 
Well, there is a crack dealer in the building according to the police. Maybe he's also be dealing in meth?
