PILLS..I NEED HELP

[LiveLaughLoveMe]

EVER SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN I STARTED GOING OUT WITH THIS GUY. HE WOULD VERBALLY ABUSE ME , MAKING ME FEEL INSECURE, CHEATING, JUST MAKING ME FEEL REAL LOW.WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS HE PUT ME THROUGH HE WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD LEAVE HIM. SO I STARTED TAKING THE PAIN KILLERS ABOUT 4 TIMES A DAY AND THEN THEY WOULD INCREASE. EVER SINCE THEN IVE BEEN TAKING PILLS JUST TO GET MY HEAD STRAIGHT AND TO GET MY MIND ON THINGS. I WANT TO STOP BUT I HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS AND I CANT FACE THEM.

The first thing that I would do if I were you is tell someone about your drug problem. In order to receive help to overcome this addiction you need support. After you do have some support I would stop taking pills. The last thing that I would do is cut out the people that are causing problems and that are enabling your drug use. They are not people you need in your life if they are only going to harm your survival and your chances to overcome this addiction. After you are clean then you will be able to face your problems with a clean mind and deal with them.

I know how you feel with taking pills to relive your problems. I do the same thing on occasion and I have a really close friend who used too. She OD and was in the hospital twice for it. You need to talk with someone who you trust and can rely on. This can really become a problem for your health, if you need someone to talk to untill you can get help feel free to PM me

Hi LiveLaughLoveMe,
It sounds like you're feeling under a lot of pressure and pretty down.I'm sorry that you boyfriend cheated on you, and is currently being abusive towards you. Verbal abuse can really damage a relationship. It could be helpful to visit www.coda.org. They have great information on how to have healthy relationships with others--this relationship seems to be putting a lot of stress on you. Many teens are also in your situation, so you don't have to feel like you're alone in this. Also, you said you were taking pills--what kind were they? Any type of pill could be harmful towards the body depending on what kind they are, how much you take, and how often you take them. Your usage really concerns me because it can definitely have some type of affect on your overall health, now and possibly into the future. The pills provide temporary relief, they are not a permanent solution. I'm just wondering if you have ever spoken to a close friend or trusted adult about your depression or how you are using pills to control your feelings and avoid facing the bigger problems? If you are ever feeling like you need to take more pills, I urge you to call us here at TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673, and we're open from 6-10 p.m PST, or speak with a school counselor or your family doctor. One more resource I would like to give you is the National Drug and Alcohol Abuse Helpline at (877) 437-8422/ Best Wishes,
A TEEN LINE teen
