[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 492610, member: 1514"] I agree with you guys. Mental illness has always been my problem but I used drugs as a teen because I wanted to fit in with the only crowd that would accept me. If the nerd crowd that got all A's and studied hard and prepared for college with a vengeance had accepted me, I would have done that with all I had. I would have been on a totally different path. But I was this very socially awkward 12 year old who was thrown into a big Jr High after being in a small private school for elementary school. Even there I was smart but awkward kid. My mom made all my clothes and I just stood out like a sore thumb. Out of pity more or less, one girl in the stoner crowd took me in and my fate was sealed. However, when I became 20 or so, I simply stopped. I didnt know about my mental illness though until I was much older. I knew I was very different along the way. I had issues along the way that worried me but didnt know what they were. I knew I had anger problems and I knew I thought I was depressed sometimes but I had no idea about bipolar because I thought that was stuff about meaning I thought I could fly off buildings and I certainly didnt think I could do that! But looking back after I found out what bipolar really is...oh boy...yeah...I have always been bipolar...lol. I would have never had to use any sort of drug if I had medications to treat my bipolar...or maybe if I actually had parents to parent me correctly all those years. We also have to remember that there are some kids like me who have bad lives. I begged my parents when I started drinking and smoking pot to send me to boarding school because I knew that this wasnt the life I needed to live. I knew it was wrong. My parents didnt listen to me. Now granted I didnt come out and say "I am smoking pot so send me away" but I did tell them that I didnt think going to the big HS was the right place for me. They were having so many problems with me it should have been clear. Instead my mother just watched me having sex in bedroom week after week. Got her rocks off that way. If I went away, that would all be gone. Ok...rant over..lmao. Im sorry. I dont know why I do this. I just try to help but then I dont know if I do? [/QUOTE]
