Too many pills?!
Question: In high school I was addicted to pain killers, and had a bunch of other problems. For about 4 years I did not take any pills, but recently in the last 4 months or so I have been experimenting with a lot of drugs on the weekends, and a lot during the week when I was on my month long winter break. I used to drink often but now it seems I can't even get a buzz without some pills.
I need to slow down because of school starting again, but I feel terrible. I feel incredibly depressed. Its hard for me to sit in a classroom for 3 hours straight and working 3 days of the week on top of a huge school work load seems to get me going crazy. I'm not sure if I should quit, or go get help or both? Im a really embarrassed person and don't tell a lot of people how I feel when I am depressed of anxious. I haven't felt well for 2 or 3 weeks since I've slowed down, and today and yesterday I feel lower then I have in years. What to do?

do yourself a favor and get help. you arent in denial so the process might be easier. you know its not healthy to do all that. its not worth being depressed all the time. i say finish this semester and get help. and then start school up again when you can. good luck!
you need help, you really do. Is there any clinics where you live???I had been strung out on pills for damn near 15yrs. The last pill I messed with was ultram.I was taking 20 to 25 pills a day. When I could'nt get any I would hurt every where. It felt like I was withdrawling from herion.I went to the hospital and told the crissis people there that I was going to commit suicide. They admitted me. I did'nt know what I was going to do. They only kept people for 72hrs. I started looking thru the phone book for AA and NA clinics. I came across a methadone clinic. I thought they only took people that was trying to get off of herion. I was wrong. It was for any body that wanted to come off of opiates.That was back in 2000. I can honestly say methadone saved my ***.It is 2008 and I am still on it. I proably will be on it till the day I die. They say coming off of methadone is worse than herion. So I am just not ready to come off it yet because I know I'll just go right back to my old ways. You do need help and you wont be able to do this alone.Try and get the help you need before you get like I was and thought suicide was the only answer. I will be praying for you.........
Quit, if they drug test you, you'll loose your job. They what will you do?
If you won't seek professional help, go to AA, they help drug users too.
