| Prepare yourself for a long winded, slightly confusing, story.
I have this friend, Krissy, who was both me and my sister's best friend since middle school. All of this year she's been telling my sister that she is a heroin addict. At first my sister wasn't alarmed. There were no track marks, and really no signs that this could be true. Then in the past month, she found out that she had been sniffing it. Krissy even brought her "stash" upstate. White powder in a bag, in a small jewelry box. And brought it to the bathroom with her everytime she went. Evidence was mounting, we were scared. New Years Eve was the last straw. Krissy got drunk OUT OF HER MIND, and passed out in my room. Vomited on my sheets.. and oh gosh. This was before the ball dropped. While she was drunk she kept screaming out "omg.. HEROIN!".. and such. All my other friends had no idea, and well.. frankly, were too drunk to really remember her doing this. That night she stayed at our house. She hadn't planned to, but she didn't want her mom to find out she had gotten drunk. My parents are pretty cool with that, so they let her stay over. She slept in my sisters room, and I slept on the couch. That night my sister told me she showed all the visable signs of withdrawal. Shaking, kicking... moaning.. what have you. And at like, 5 in the morning she was scared out of her mind for Krissy. Fast forward to two days later. We decided it would be the best idea if we told Krissy's mom about it. We figured, she really needed help. And we weren't sure if it was true before... but now we knew. So, I hung out with this friend while my sister and another friend (who was sober on New Years), went to her house. They told her mother everything. They gave her notes Krissy wrote to my sister, and about how Krissy was getting it. Apparantly, she had told my sister that she was to the point of whoring herself for heroin. She had this whole other group of friends that we had never met.. who were kinda like druggies and such. She even went out with one of them for a year.... and we didn't know it. His name was Joe and he was abusive towards her. This is important. She said Joe was at her house all the time. So when my sister told Krissy's mom about this... the reaction from her mom was utter disbelief. She didn't think Krissy had ANY time to accomplish any of these things. When Lindsey mentioned Joe, her mom told Lindsey she had never met him. Strange? A little bit. It gets stranger. We figured her mom would give her a drug test and if it turned out positive for heroin, she would be sent to a rehab. The past week, she's been in school every single day. She went to the guidance conselor once. Supposedly she has gotten a drug test, and the results aren't back yet. So. Where's the withdrawal? Where's the evidence? Who is Joe? It doesn't make ANY logical sense.. why would she lie about this? Why would she go out of her way for a whole year to deceive my sister into believing that she was addicted to heroin. She even showed my sister her "stash" when we were upstate. This story takes another strange turn. Krissy's been telling everyone at school that my sister told her mom she was smoking pot. Cause, that's such a big deal.. =/. So basically, everyone's mad at my sister for no reason now. Krissy is lying to make it seem like my sister did a terrible and dishonest thing... when really, if Krissy were actually on heroin, my sister probably did the best possible thing to try to help her to recovery. And people are catching on.. cause we have plenty of friends that smoke pot.. my sister does it sometimes, as do I. So it wouldn't make sense that she'd squeal on Krissy for that. My friend actually connected the dots without even talking to Krissy that much about it. She remembered how when they all saw Rent, Krissy's favorite character was the girl addicted to heroin. And her favorite postsecrets are the ones about adicts. She knows my sister well enough to know that there had to be another rational reason. There's another element to this though. What if Krissy is mentally unstable? There's a difference between lying, and actually being schitzophrenic. If Krissy actually believes these delusions.... then she is, in fact.. schitzo. If she's just lying for attention, and she's getting it.. that's a completely different thing entirely. It just... why would she lie about this? And if I do believe that she's mentally unstable... and she's actually hallucinating.. or believing delusions.. and living an imaginary life. What can I even do about it? It's not like you can casually accuse someone of that. This whole situation is nothing short of crazy. Just I dunno.. thoughts? Advice would be nice. |

| People who do hard drugs tend to dissociate their "drug friends" from their normal friends, so I don't find it all unbelievable that someone could mask such a behavior for a year or more. However, as you said it does sound sketchy, and I'd have her drug tested, b/c heroin is no pissant drug like pot. It can really fuck up a person's life. You'd be doing her a favor before she has to hit rock bottom and run out of options for escaping the lifestyle. | |||

I... have no idea why she would fake something like that.  But if your sister saw her shaking from withdrawal, ect... she must be doing something. I can't imagine it's uncommon for her to deny it when it becomes more serious, even stop using it temporarily to try and make herself seem clean. Just keep an eye out for her, make sure she doesn't slip into it again.
And if you want to know about the mystery Joe... just ask her. She knows you talked to her mom, you have nothing to hide by asking. And she shouldn't have anything to hide either.. unless it IS all a lie. In which case, um,  |

| Math: We got her drug tested. Supposedly the results haven't come back yet. It's been well over a week. And Krissy isn't letting my sister call her mom. My Friday, my sister's gonna call her mom anyway and find out what she's doing/not doing.
I just. I'm lost on why someone would lie about this. And I'm lost as to why she's in school feeling fine, and even feeling well enough to spread rumors and be like... normal. It's just all so strange. |

| This is going to sound a little harsh, but some girls DO like to screw with people's heads... which could be what she's doing. Why she's doing it I don't know (attention?) but from what you've told me her behaviour certainly doesn't add up.
Your best bet is to get into contact with Krissy's mum. Is there anything going on in Krissy's life at the moment that might be upsetting her? |

| Nothing that I know about could be upsetting her. We're giving the situation until Friday. My sister has already given Krissy numerous times to tell her what's going on, as have I... but she keeps squirming out of telling us. Or she's covering lies with lies.
And she does do other things that beg for attention. Such as inappropriate behavior.. all the time. She's super loud and outgoing. She once threw an icecream cone at a cop. That wasn't too fun to run from  ..
So yes, that's one of the many possibilities we're considering. We just don't understand why she'd exaggerate it to the point that we'd think she was in serious danger, and had to tell her mom. Like, we've cried about it. We've worried and stayed up at night lost for what to do for the month we knew it was serious. Why would she torture us to that level? That's why I'm having a hard time justifying it as just attention seeking. (As a side note, that John Lennon quote you have relating to music... is my favorite music quote ever. I'm sorry, just got a bit excited when I saw it in your sig) |

Originally posted by Snow Tomato I find it particularly relevant also in an age where music publishers believe they have the right to install rootkits to people's computers... As for the attention seeking theory, some people don't know how far to take those things.... so it is still an option.  |

| If there was a way to test that stash (...aside from obvious means...) then I'd do that just because at least then you'd know if she was doing heroin or flour.
I don't think it makes any sense... my gut feeling is that she's BSing you guys but at the same time I think she might have a problem that she'd have to see a specialist about. |

| Talk with her about drugs. Be direct and don't hesitate on the words. Don't wait. If you have to tell someone, do it now. If it's true, the sooner you'll stop her, easier it will be. It it's false, she just feels depressed and needs attention. (edited by Cornellius on 01-12-06 10:09 PM) |

| Yeah, I did a fast read
I though that they didn't know if she was taking drugs or not, and didn't know what to do. |

| .... she just told me she came up clean on her drug test.
For everything. Which is strange. Like, nothing was found.. at all. And on top of it... she's not talking to my sister. Krissy told my friend Russ tonight that she's "done" with Lindsey. Wtf is that?! So she basically was lying the entire time. I'm happy she's clean, but I'm angry that she'd torture us like this.. it doesn't add up.  |
