If someone does a line of cocaine

And then shares a drink with someone, how much (if any) cocaine is likely to be passed to the person they are sharing with???

Not really aibu but freaking out!

No one uses mirrors and money to do cocaine anymore they dab it on the back of there hand and do it there.. if they're just recreational anyway.

Guys to yet post. Op is fragile, lay off her.

Never thought I'd have to post that on here Sad

PowerPantsRule · 11/09/2017 09:37

Sarah420, I am very sorry. I had terrible anxiety for a good year or so after giving birth which is why I recognise it in you. You mustn't suffer like this love. If the doc says the antidepressants are safe, and the therapist does too, they're safe. It's better for baby to have a chilled relaxed mum on antidepressants than not....better for you too.

You're having intrusive thoughts which is part of OCD, and linked to anxiety. Your brain is being irrational because it is stuck in a loop of worrying! I really feel for you - I remember feeling just like you did. I took antidepressants to get me out of it and it worked a treat.

It is really really common for anxiety and OCD to worsen after giving birth.

well presuming her baby isn't about to go shopping with the credit card, or the money, or need to do her make up in the mirror, because, like SHES A BABY, i'm pretty sure shes safe from his drug infested 'kit'.

Jesus wept.

Hope you are ok OP and your stupid husband feels suitably ashamed.

upperlimit · 11/09/2017 09:43

Fucking hell.

The op's first concern was for her baby. That's reasonable - as unusual as that wobble turned out to be.

I'd be a bit bemused if my DH decided to snort cocaine because it's not something he does. Bemused is perfectly fine and reasonable.

As a reader, its not as satisfying as leaving the bastard or as dramatic self righteous angry rage, though, admittedly Hmm

raviolidreaming · 11/09/2017 09:48

If you're suffering from heightened anxiety and PND I suggest you step away from this thread, Sarah. All it is going to do is give you more to fret about. I would also caution you against accepting a further mental health diagnosis from someone on the internet who hasn't met you; OCD traits are recognisable in anxiety / PND but nobody can effectively diagnose you based on this tiny snippet of information.

Sarah420 · 11/09/2017 11:46

LIZS

It wasn't his cocaine, it was someone else's, the chances of him using his own card, note, coin or whatever it was exactly he used to snort it with/off aren't high. And either way, bank cards and notes aren't my babies favourite toys (ie why the hell would I leave things like this around my baby even on a normal day? Hmm) ... partner takes cocaine of one occasion and suddenly I'm the most irresponsible parent of the year, is that right? Fuck off.

'I think op needs to be more than "bemused"'- I'm ever so sorry, what is it exactly you think I 'need to be'? Apologies for not listing every single emotion I feel about the matter! Hmm I am more than just bemused.

How the hell have I become the villain in this? I haven't done anything wrong fgs!

Again: fuck off

Omg why have people attacked the OP, accusing her of having PND. Seriously people if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything at all. She was asking a question not for relationship advice.
There won't be any cross contamination from the cocaine so don't worry about that.

Coffeetasteslikeshit · 11/09/2017 12:02

Well said OP! It really pisses me off when other people tell me how I'm supposed to feel about something.

Sarah420 · 11/09/2017 12:03

Baby's*

shadylane · 11/09/2017 12:08

Wow people are being horrible here. OP I hope you're ok. While doing coke on a Sunday night is obviously less than ideal it doesn't mean he's a threat to you or your baby. If it became a regular occurrence that would be serious cause for anxiety because cocaine is a costly and detrimental activity. The odd line now and again does not mean he has a drug problem, and the fact he admitted it straight away is a good sign.
I hope you're ok and that people stop giving you shit for your worrying on here.

Sarah420 · 11/09/2017 12:16

Thank you Thai, I did actually have pnd and do suffer from anxiety (never diagnosed with OCD and don't think I actually have it, but a lot of symptoms of various mental health issues tend to intermingle so I understand why poster suggested this). I just don't understand why people have decided I need telling off! I was being neurotic with the breast milk thing but surely that's better than being careless! Aside from that, I can't see what I have done wrong here (apart from not LBT which is no doubt what everyone has decided I ought to do in response to this one off occurrence).

Thank you Coffee And shady Smile

LIZS - I think you'll find an astoundingly high level of bank notes in the UK have traces of cocaine on them. You're being ridiculous.

I understood what you meant Sarah and I think you're handling it fine. People on MN are very anti-drugs though so I'm not surprised you've got this ridiculous drubbing. Also AIBU is a bit like fight club where people are twats for a laugh.

Sarah420 · 11/09/2017 12:21

And thank you Power for your kind post, I agree I need to get over this fear and probably go back on the antidepressants, at least for a while.

OP posts:
Aeviternity · 11/09/2017 12:21

If you're worried about 'catching cocaine' from someone... why are you even hanging out with them?

Good grief, just let it go.

Sarah420 · 11/09/2017 12:35

Ha, thanks Jiggly! I know what aibu is like and probably shouldn't even bother responding to some of these posts but after my silly wobble about cocaine tainted breast milk I feel the need make it clear I am not actually thick!

OP posts:
baffledcoconut · 11/09/2017 12:45

Don't go shopping in The City if you don't want to handle notes with coke on them. They are practically doused in it. Grin

You'll be fine OP- more likely to be anxiety than anything else.

PowerPantsRule · 11/09/2017 16:35

I'm sorry if I gave anyone the impression I was diagnosing the OP. I may have been a tad too enthusiastic in trying to help. I'm certainly no doctor, just someone who suffered after giving birth and then researched it.

I so hope you get to feel better soon OP. Anxiety is rotten...
