jeroen, i can actually relate on many levels. Not only once have i regretted taking a substance but twice.
First I took acid when I used to have substance abuse problems. That instantly left me majorly depressed as well as majorly anxious. I never really had any super bad mental illnesses before until then. So it hit me extremely hard.
Then I continued to have problems from it and was diagnosed with HPPD. Derealization, after images, just distortions from LSD in general.
Eventually I suffered so greatly from this that I just learned to let go. There was no coping mechinism for this, it was just to let it be and accept it(accept the pain that comes with it). This example is harder to explain.
My second mistake with a substance was Luvox, i took it and I started having teeth problems. This has reaked havoc on me, considering I have OCD like qualites so everything is intensly magnified. I just recently have learned to let go of this problem. I looked deep into why I care so much and i found out why.
But anyway, maybe you have OCD like qualites that is making this harder than it should be. Once you let go, that is when you start to heal. Which is ironic because it is so painful.
this is only a suggestion
