Hi, I'm a female student, (ironically) about to finish a Criminology degree.

I've lived alone since I was seventeen when my mum died, and that is when my drug use began. Within weeks I went from saying "Yuck I'd never do anything more than weed", to sniffing line after line in the toilet before school started, making sure it was enough to deal with life without her.

I'm 22 now, and I've finally been able to admit I have a drug problem.

I told my psychiatrist two weeks ago that my drug use is out of control. I've never said this to anyone before. I've been telling myself for years that taking drugs is part of who I am, and I am completely capable of living a normal life...

I haven't taken measures to stop yet, but hopefully here's a good place to start. Next step is a women's only young adult group I've found called Oasis, but I am scared of talking about it so openly. I'm hoping to get more comfortable with it through the forum before I begin next week.

I look forward to meeting people xx
 
Heya Whirley -- welcome to Bluelight! :D

I hope you enjoy it here -- I'm so happy to be a part of this amazing community, where I can spill my darkest secrets and no one bats an eyelid and only wants to help, not judge. It's the total antithesis of my real life, and so I end up spending a good part of my day here either helping or being helped. I like to practice 'do unto others' and all that peace-loving jazz.

I look forward to seeing you around!
