I think i might be addicted?

Question

i feel like im finally getting things on track. well most things. tommorrow is the first day of me exercising more. today i did a warm up and went on a mile walk and a two mile bike ride. school is about to start and other than my weight i feel confident. im 14 years old. i havent really had much of a childhood. my parents are together now but back untill i was about 9 months to 10 yrs old she always cheated on my dad so she was never around, because i always chose to live with my daddy haha. uhm around last yr so i was 13 i suppose i started to get alot of headaches. i took alot of ibuprofen. then when i didnt have headaches i started to take them right when i woke up. two about every four hours. it never did anything to me but i just always wanted to take it. like a strong lust for it. my mom has a whole bunch of diet pills and i took a bunch at one time and puked my guts out. ive never tried anything serious but i know if i got my hands on oxycotton or vicadin i would certainly take it. its not that bad but i know for a fact i wouldnt turn it down. i dont really know if im addicted to pills or not? i dont know if you would call it addiction but i guess it could lead to that? any thoughts? ill choose best answer. thanks in advance

Answer 1

I heard that in America it is normal to be addicted to something (alcohol,illegal drugs,s*x with animals/parents &amp; gambling) so dont worry.

My advice would be to go to hungry jacks &amp; buy a few &quot;whopper&quot;

meals &amp; not worry if ur getting fat or addicted to something.

Be a good american,follow the crowd.  

Answer 2

ib profen is not addictive and you can&#039;t be addicted to other pills you haven&#039;t taken. sounds like you want to be addicted.

Answer 3

i think you have to relax yourself . Its very good that u have do some exercises as it will clear your mind a bit more . Maybe you could find some friends that you can share your problems with. In that way you can resolve some underlying stress  so the ‘need’ for it is lost. You too could invest in activities that contribute more constructively to your mental and physical wellbeing (e.g., working with groups or joining a gym).

I believe WackoCan is right, I don&#039;t think you can be addicted to Ibuprofen.  If you think you are a candidate for addiction to something, then I recommend that you don&#039;t even step near the line.  What I mean is, if you&#039;re convinced that you&#039;d gobble up vicodin, then you should stay away from it.

Also, it would be a great idea for you to talk to someone who specializes in addiction (say you&#039;re doing research for a school project), and find out what can happen to your body and mind from abusing substances.  To start with, too much Ibuprofen will eat up your stomach lining, and so will vicodin, and it&#039;s irreversible.  A doctor can tell you the other unglamourous things pills can do to you.  An addiction specialist can tell you about the other ways substance abuse can destroy the other parts of your life.

If your family matters are making you want to start taking pills, you should find someone to talk to who can help you.  Trust me, using pills, drugs, or alcohol to make yourself feel better emotionally is totally temporary.  What it does is just make you avoid feeling emotions you need to deal with and get through.  If you got addicted and made it through addiction without it ruining your entire life, you&#039;d still have all those feelings to deal with once you were done.

Don&#039;t take pills.  You&#039;re too young with too much wonderful life ahead of you.  Don&#039;t become self-destructive.  Find yourself some help.  Send me a message if you want to talk.

Answer 5

You&#039;re not an addict. You are young and have had a lot of problems that are NOT YOURS TO TAKE ON. Rather than someone (an adult) helping you with your problems, you are left to deal with them on your own. Becoming addicted to drugs is a common way to &quot;deal&quot; with that. Note: It doesn&#039;t work.

If your parents can&#039;t step up to the plate and HELP you, get an adult who can. Talk to a school counselor or church pastor.
