Currently I am going to college to become a drug addictions counsellor, and the pre requisite to be accepted into the course was you had to be clean for 3 years, which I have been, but it's really difficult I struggled with a drug addiction and self harm for quite a few years and all that's holding me back from not doing it again is my school. (which is completely bogus I might add) But all that keeps running through my head is how I could probably just do it again and not even get caught. Due to my accident my mother ha me speaking with a psychologist about my problems but I feel like I'm going no where as I've learned everything she is saying to me in class. I'm kinda just lost... Like I don't want everyone in my life to know how broken I am, I don't want my boyfriend to know how I'm feeling as he is going through hell himself right now and my parents are so proud of "how far I've come" most people just tell me that I'm being a coward and that my life is too perfect for me to be "acting like such a baby".
I don't know why I'm even making this post honestly.

You are trying to handle changes in your life and part of that is coming to terms with both your past and new expectations. Transitions can make you feel a bit lost. I don't understand why anyone would call you a coward. You are courageous!

Follow a path that will bring you some health as becoming an addiction ADS counselor. In the classroom you can discover the extent of addiction and apply treatments to yourself. The peer environment you can learn so much more about yourself than all alone. Helping others is where you can go for support, please seek that out.

Be well is my hope.

Also I use DBT DBT Self Help emotional coping skills to help me keep a calmer mind. DBT has a great assortment of tools to learn and practice. Self-Help literature that really can make a difference is hard to find. DBT is a real find for emotional stability. I hope you investigate the site.

Agan, wellness is my wish for you.
Blessed be.
