This is quite sad. You started taking drugs before you even hit puberty and messed with the balance of chemicals in your brain. Now you're going through puberty and your chemical balance is even more messed up.

Honestly, I don't think you even know what 'feeling normal' really is, so how could you possibly notice any 'warning signs' of mental illness? I would quit everything if I were you and let your body adjust. You will feel many times better once you are clean and sober.

^Indeed. I'm so sorry you've been going through all this Kaitlyn, but I think that instead of more drugs you should really consider less drugs so you can defog your brain, get a feel for the person you are and how you're developing. I know it might seem impossible now, but you absolutely can turn things around. You're very young and have your entire life ahead of you. Please don't let these set backs control the way the rest of your life pans out.

Keep checking in here and let us know how you're doing. I think you could definitely find a lot of love and support from people in TDS. Even though this is an Internet forum, we act as a family in here.

All the best.

Thanks for reaching out Kaitlyn.

Have you considered going to a doctor? I know you are young but you can still go to a doctor if your parents allow you to do so on your own.

I'm also sorry to hear you are experiencing PTSD, I also have this myself. If you want to talk about what has been going on in your life, feel free to.
