[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 680076, member: 1550"] Agree about using anxiety to abuse drugs just like some fake back pain for same reason. RN, if your son really gets so anxious at the idea of work or school that he has to use, and understand as one with high anxiety I really doubt it, then he can never live a normal life because you have to be able to work without shooting heroin or whatever he uses. I believe he is exaggerating. He may well have anxiety but nit enough to risk death by drugs. One of the reasons I never took drugs was the fear theyd kill me. Yes, we are all different but I dont buy the excuse. I think he knows that it makes you pity him so he tells you that. Now every single post here is just our own take on things, myself included. Take what you find useful and leave the rest. My own feeling is that risk takers are likely to take serious drugs. Highly anxious people, who like me could once not even leave my house out of fear, tend to be terrified of death and may smoke pot but not risk their lives. Just my own experience/opiniin. Disregard if you feel its unhelpful. Hope again that this is not too harsh. More hugs. [/QUOTE]
