What helps keep those alive in “survival mode” might not be what helps them live. People rarely choose this for comfort but instead have learned it works to prevent pain of all kinds. Those not so great survival skills are the exact thing that protected them.

I remember an unhoused person saying they used so they could stay awake at night and keep moving bc it was too dangerous for him to stay in one place and risk getting hurt, freezing, or their stuff getting stolen.

Only time i ever considered doing hard drugs was when i was trying to survive being fully homeless outside and it was only to sleep/stay awake

People will do all kinds of things to try to survive in unimaginable circumstances.

many also try self medication since they can't receive mental health care.

No, don’t push this narrative. It is an excuse for addiction. People primarily use meth because it is extremely addictive and euphoric.

Drug use is for people who can afford to hide it. #TheMoralistsNovel

The fact that it feels incredible is a happy accident. And please ignore the fact that sedating substances that make you *more* vulnerable are actually more popular. Now we just need to find a palatable explanation for the men who abuse amphetamines. 🤔🤔
