[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741159, member: 18958"] My son was a health nut. He worked out all of the time at the gym and did martial arts, mainly Brazilian forms. For 10 years he was into anti-inflammation and macros. He ate coconut oil, oodles of spinach, salmon everyday, organic, grass bed beef, no carbs, etc. He did food combining and macros. All of this has fallen by the wayside. He subsists on energy drinks and snacks. He is still using supplements but more as a feel-good thing or to respond to anxiety or body monitoring that is obsessive. Kind of like he uses caffeine pills. And now he is using nicotine to get high. There is a name for what he is doing. It is from Scandinavia. The working out and sports are gone. He eats candy and cookies. I can hardly believe it. I am unsure if this is the effect of living on the marijuana or whether it is a symptom of mental illness, or addictive thinking or living a marginal and unproductive lifestyle or all of it. But this is a person who has gone from a commitment to himself and his life to complete alienation and abandonment of his core self. I felt happy today on this thread until I started typing this post. There is not one thing I can do to get my son back. I am almost glad I lost my phone Tuesday because I am less aware that he wants no contact with me. And feel more in control that I cannot beg him through texts to love me. I try hard not to think about what he could be doing, where he is, where he will be when it is cold and wet, why he cannot find love for me, how he can so easily live without me, if I do not serve his interests in the way that he seeks and demands. He wrote a month or so ago how traumatized he was about what happened. I guess he means squatting in the yard of the 20th st. house. I guess he means all the times I called the cops when he came here, and barged in or would not leave. I guess he means that I finally called a halt to his living off of us. I guess he means when I hit his leg with the pot, so he would back away from the door when he would not leave my kitchen out the back door. This thread has been so wonderful because we have focused on our own health and well-being. Like it is important. Like we have central importance. Like there is hope for us. Like we can cultivate health and hope. I am grateful to all of you. [/QUOTE]
