Me too…. always been stubbornly resistant to peer pressure, would rather be alone than do something I didn’t want to do just to be accepted….at times I was so stubborn about not breaking my own rule that I annoyed myself….but I just couldn’t do it…it was like my own kind of integrity….from a very young age….8 I think. I was terrified of drugs…I think I knew I had unusual brain chemistry and was scared of how things would effect me. Vodka makes me cry and gin makes my arms ache. Wine makes me dissociate. I ‘tried’ a little bit of marihuana when I was in my early 20’s, took 2 drags and the first one wasn’t even a proper one, I was paranoid for 2 whole days, couldn’t leave my apartment. It didn’t effect anyone else like that….just me, that was the one time I gave into peer pressure…but it was more like giving into my bf because he wanted me to try it.
I really hate the idea that I need to take medication for my ADD symptoms. I don’t like feeling like I ‘need’ anything if there is a chance I wont be able to get it…. I think its a control thing. I already feel so out of control of myself and my life…I really don’t need anything else to be out of control of.
My bf became my ex-boyfriend and went to jail for something, then he got addicted to heroin and moved into his parents basement.
Sorry, got a bit off topic….my meds have worn off. 😯
