Substance Abuse
I feel like I’m matter ect, and FYI, reason why I got drug tested was because I was really hyper that day. It was bouncing off the walls. My pupils were also dilated, but I soon later went to the doctor and the doctor said that my peoples are just naturally dilated. I also have ADHD so I am on mostly the hyperactive part of the spectrum and I was really hyper that day so I have a feeling that had something to do with my ADHD because I’m always hyper and all over the place basically. ( There’s gonna be a part two to this because this is way too long so if you do see my part two definitely read if you want) I had also forgot to mention, but after my boyfriend broke up with me, I made a stupid decision and I decided to go to my local dispensary and buy I had also been sober for I want to say two to three in a half years, which was really a big disappointment and I did end up smoking so I broke my sober count, which was also very sad for me. I was very disappointed in myself, and I knew that I made a stupid decision decision. I lost all my cash because of it so I’m basically kind of broke at the moment. And remember when I said that my parents absolutely hate my SAC well, I’ve gotten in trouble multiple times for seeing her because I’ve always been crying or whatever to her basically talking to her about my problems or whatever the case might be and some of those times she would have to call my father and I would get into arguments with my father yesterday she had called my dad again and my dad had called my mom. I had told my mom earlier that day that I was feeling down and having a bad time, I didn’t know if it was my depression or not I didn’t really know at the moment, and she came to pick me up around lunchtime when I got home. My dad called mom and told her that I went to her after my mom told me not to my SAC does a lot of clubs as well one of those clubs being a anti-bulling club which I’m in and my mom had told me that if I want to see her again that I would not partaken that club anymore and she would ask for the permission slips that she had signed and would rip them well yesterday, I begged her not to take me out of the club and we basically had a big argument.
It really sounds like you are going through a lot with your parents. I am curious why your mom doesn't like your counselor and why she wouldn't want you to be involved in an anti-bullying club. When she calms down maybe you can talk to her about it.
As far as purchasing marijuana at a dispensary, I am sure the SAC could recommend outside counseling to help you. I think counseling would help you deal with everything that is going on.

It sounds like you’re going through a really challenging time, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed by everything that’s happening, especially with the recent breakup, the hyperactivity related to your ADHD, and the decision to use substances after being sober for a significant period.
First and foremost, it’s important to be kind to yourself. Making mistakes is part of being human, and it’s okay to feel disappointed about your choices. What matters is how you move forward from this experience. Here are some thoughts on how you might navigate this situation:
1. Reflect on Your Feelings: Take some time to think about why you chose to use substances after your breakup. Understanding your motivations can help you make more informed choices in the future.
2. Reconnect with Your Goals: Consider what being sober means to you and why you chose that path initially. Reflecting on your goals can help reinforce your commitment to sobriety.
3. Seek Support: Share your feelings with someone you trust, whether it’s a friend, family member, or your SAC. Having a support system can make a difference when you’re feeling down or struggling.
4. Focus on Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Look for alternative ways to cope with stress and emotions, such as engaging in creative activities, exercising, or practicing mindfulness. Finding healthier outlets can help you manage feelings of disappointment or sadness.
5. Set Small, Achievable Goals: If you're feeling overwhelmed, try to set small, manageable goals for yourself. This could be related to your finances, self-care, or mental health. Celebrating small victories can help rebuild your confidence.
6. Consider Professional Help: If you’re feeling stuck or struggling with substance use, reaching out to a mental health professional can provide guidance and support. They can help you develop strategies for coping and maintaining your sobriety.
7. Be Patient with Yourself: Recovery and personal growth take time. It’s okay to have setbacks; what’s important is your willingness to learn and grow from your experiences.
Remember, you’re not defined by your past choices, and you have the power to take steps towards a healthier and happier future. You matter, and seeking support is a sign of strength. It’s great that you’re reaching out to share your thoughts, and I encourage you to continue being open about what you’re going through.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
