Hey Toby, it seems that your heart is the only thing that won’t quit. You have a strong constitution to please your mom and friends and not yourself. Certainly, these factors can help. But in these days of relentless emotional and psychological pressures—when stress is blamed for every malady—there emerges some new strength factors. I feel that you really want to be a survivor, you want to resist stress, you want to stay committed to what you want to do, you want to feel in control of your life and, to sum it all up, you need to see some personal positive changes as a challenge rather than a threat to your life. This is where the tricky point starts: you have yet to find a sure functional way to stabilize during the better times and a realistic model method is in need in order to avoid using those drugs as a temporary means to anchor those better times that come from time to time. You might need to take the time away from your studies for a while yet. Because the warning signs of failure are going back to drugs during stressful situations, then you need to avoid all stressful events as well as trouble. Please stay focused on the higher simplistic opportunities that you are familiar with and able to handle without pressure. Do this so that you will not disappoint yourself with failure by moving back to using drugs for temporary relief. You know that using is only fooling yourself and putting off the obvious.
It helps so much that you’ve taken a great deal of words to explain why you’ve gone from exploring the good notions of your life and then as stress enters in to the picture you backslide to the pessimistic notion that you don’t have the initiative to take control of the circumstances. Typically, you have a fairly good idea that you have to be consistent and strive to be an honest and healthier person, which is your practical, common sense speaking out.
At this point, I agree with you that going on with university studies may not be in your best interest. Take the time off to find your true feelings. This is the better idea at the moment.
