[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679698, member: 1550"] Colleen, you still are that good, wholesome person you always were. Your son is not you and nothing he does should make YOU feel badly. If you prefer,only share about him with a therapist or here. It isnt good to isolate. Joining al anon could also help. Your son may still be using drugs or coming off of a high. My daughter had weird sleeping habits when she used. I thought it was a mood disorder. Indeed,she was diagnosed with one, however I have found that there is no way to get an accurate psychiatric diagnosis until somebody is totally sober for several months. My daughter, now clean,bis clearly not mentally ill. Drug use causes what looks like mania, depression and even psychosis. The truth is, it sounds as if he's way beyond just pot. They dont tell us . I thought my daughter was only using pot. After she quit she told the truth and shocked me. Meth, ecstacy, any speed, downers for sleep etc. Its best to accept that until somebody willingly goes to a rehab and works very hard to get clean that drugs are still around. If your son quits, as my daughter did, you will see a huge change in personal hygiene, friends, ambition, stability and a new interest in the future. Most people need a rehab to quit. We usually do not know what is really going on in our adult childrens drug lives. The good news is that every single day different substance abusers get serious,go to rehab, and quit. There is no way for anybody to know if or when it will happen. It is up to the individual. Heres hoping your son makes that decision soon and you get help for yourself in the meantime. You matter as much as your son and can learn coping skills so that you no longer suffer so much. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
