I was doing meth for 6 month every day quite a few times a day, I have a serious problem! I'm very very young and my mom just found out about my drug use. I am now trying to get clean and now living with my dad. I haven't lived here in 4 years so I feel pretty alone because I'm going to a new school I know no one here I'm not as girly as most girls so its hard to make friends. I don't have a phone so I cant talk to anyone, they took social media away and only let me have short monitored calls to my girl friend (yet she was the only one helping me try to quit before now) since I have been clean for a week I have had horrible withdrawals and severe depression. I'm supposed to start seeing some type of therapist as soon as I get my insurance transferred but its taking what seems like forever... please help me find inexpensive ways to cope and get through this process of getting and staying clean thanks!

There is no magic cure. It is going to hurt, and it is going to be hard. You keep busy, you try to start a exercise program.

You stop making excuses, "not girly girl" who really cares, there are lots of girly girls, and non girly girls in all schools. That does not change making friends. It is hard to start new friends, but you start talking to most people.

Of course you are being monitored close, you made some really bad choices and now have to pay for them.

I know that I made bad choices and now I pay the consequences but making new friends is not easy I really have tried also people at this school are all really girly and look at me like I'm crazy when I try to socialize with them. Keeping busy in my house is very difficult everyone here is very kept to themselves that's why I feel like an outsider, I cant go anywhere because of restrictions and I'm not saying they are wrong for punishment but I am not benefiting in a healthy way being alone constantly. I try to explain that and they don't really pay attention cause they are more involved with what's on the telle

Harshness Warning

Stop trying to explain and get sympathy, you are not even thinking clearly, or rationally. For now you are alone under the eyes of your helpless family, and all you can do is eat, be sick, and stay hydrated, until more help arrives.

Sorry, you MUST go through this misery ALONE to emerge in a better place. That's the usual result of a 14 year old making a really bad choice in getting caught up in a DANGEROUS situation.

Find some gratitude because as bad as it may seem now,it could have been much worse, as you could still be getting your fix, or be dead or in jail. At least you have a family that is trying to help, limited as there resources and knowledge is, so buck up and do as you are told.

You are truly luckier than most, so act like it!

17 is not very, very young and it takes longer than a week to get used to a new school and make new friends.

Talk to your father about looking into a support group. I am certain you should be able to find one in Arizona (given location). It would give you the ability to meet and talk with people who have been and are where you are right now.
