I tend to get attached to people rather quickly... I've recently gotten really attached to this one family, I call them my adopted family... I feel soooo happy around them, and they are everything I lacked in parents growing up... Umm, my adopted mom recently went out of town and it like to have killed me that she was gone soooo long... I feel like I need to talk to her every single day or Im not happy... They are going out of town again soon... For 7 more long days... I dont do right when she is gone, the main reason not only because of me is because of them that I take my medicine... I do good now because they show me that they are proud of me... And I needed that... But now that shes going out of town I want to mess up! I want to not take my medicine... Has anyone else ever gone through anything similar?

I think you need to learn to be proud of yourself. Think how good you'll feel if you take your medicine every day while they're gone, and you can tell them when they get back! I understand wanting approval from others. But you need to find it within yourself, as well. You probably want to give up, because it feels comfortable to give up. It's familiar, what you're used to. So it won't feel comfortable to resist it, but it will get better, and you'll be better for it.

I'm like that with my dad. I flip out if I can't talk to or see him at least once a day. If I can't get a hold of him or he goes away I think he's dead or something.

Hang in there...you are not alone!
