Woman Lost Her Job After a Hidden Addiction Left Her Unable to Stop Using the Toilet

A woman has shared how a serious ketamine addiction completely changed her life, leaving her with major health problems and eventually costing her job.

Jordan Harris first tried ketamine when she was just 19 years old. At the beginning, it was something she only used at parties alongside cocaine. Like many young people experimenting with drugs, she never imagined it would turn into a dangerous addiction.

Over time, Jordan began using ketamine more often. As her body became used to the drug, she needed larger amounts to get the same effect. Because cocaine was expensive, she started relying more heavily on ketamine instead.

Things became much worse during the Covid-19 lockdowns. With more time alone and fewer distractions, her drug use quickly spiraled out of control. At the height of her addiction, she was reportedly spending around £2,000 every month on ketamine and using huge amounts of the drug daily.

The addiction soon began destroying her health. Jordan developed severe bladder problems that forced her to use the toilet constantly. Her bladder became much smaller than normal, making it difficult for her to hold urine for any length of time. She also suffered from kidney damage, frequent infections, severe stomach pain, and other painful complications.

The health issues became so serious that they affected her ability to work. Jordan said she was taking frequent toilet breaks and had to take time off because of her condition. She believes these problems played a major role in her losing her supermarket job during her probation period.

She explained that she was constantly having to leave her workstation to use the toilet and struggled to manage her symptoms while working. Although she was advised to provide medical documentation, she was told she had taken too much time off work.

As her addiction continued, her condition became even more frightening. Jordan said she spent years suffering from painful symptoms, including passing blood clots in her urine and dealing with repeated infections. At one point, her bladder problems became so severe that she had to wear adult nappies because she could no longer control her bladder properly.

The addiction also affected her financially and emotionally. She admitted that she would do almost anything to find money to buy the drug. Looking back, she says ketamine became part of her daily routine and took control of her life.

Eventually, her health reached a crisis point. After spending two weeks unable to get out of bed and suffering from constant vomiting, her mother called an ambulance. Doctors discovered that one of her kidneys was failing, and she required major medical treatment.

The news was a wake-up call. Doctors warned Jordan that continuing to use ketamine could potentially kill her. Faced with that reality, she made the difficult decision to stop using the drug immediately.

Since quitting, Jordan has focused on rebuilding her life and raising awareness about the dangers of ketamine. She says she never believed something that started as a party drug could cause such devastating damage.

Today, she hopes her story will serve as a warning to others. She wants people to understand that while drugs may seem harmless or enjoyable at first, addiction can quickly take over and lead to life-changing consequences. She says many people believe they can control drugs, but eventually the addiction can become stronger than they ever expected.

Medical experts warn that long-term ketamine use can seriously damage the bladder, causing a condition often called “ketamine bladder.” Symptoms can include needing to urinate very frequently, bladder pain, incontinence, and blood in the urine. In severe cases, the damage may be permanent and can significantly affect a person’s quality of life.
