...See more So Im 16 and next year Ill be moving out to attend university and its scary as hell. My stress levels have been through the roof lately. The prospect of going from full time highschool, living with parents to attending university, living alone with a bunch of strangers, holding a job, balancing schoolwork, making enough time for my boyfriend and actually knowing what I want to do with my life is way too much. Man, the thought of it makes me want to just go to college ;/ itd be so much easier... Anyone whos been through this, is it as bad as it seems??

Child of parents with addiction

...See more So ever since I can remember my parents had been addicted to drugs. My life was never constant, and now seems like a very distant haze; my parents separating, getting back together, fights, police, confusion, naivety. I have but a few memories of my family life from my younger years which arent traumatic. (Before I was removed from the situation) Luckily, my parents were able to pull their lives together when I was around 14, and they quit for good. Although, sobering up isnt just as easy as that. Ive dealt with severe anxiety and depression, and continue to deal with low self confidence and trust issues. The reason Im writing this thread is because this has always felt like some kind of secret, something I have to hide. As anyone who has experienced addiction will know, there is a great deal of shame attached to stories like these. This subject is taboo in my house even, everyone just acts like those 14 years didnt happen and ignore the affects that it has had on my entire family. Addiction is common and prevalent in todays world and shouldnt be as taboo as it now is. Feel free to share your own story, or even just upvote in support 👍
