Need help regarding Drug abuse
Overcoming Addiction
Name: Mindy
Comments: I have a friend that so emotional that the slightest thing causes her to use drugs, how to help her?
Pandora covered it quite well, although speaking from experience as an ex-drug addict I can honestly say that most consumers who do have a problem have no idea that their reality has been altered, they do not see the mood swings as abnormal and are normally in denial about their problem. I would suggest trying to find the source of why they began using drugs in the first place and going from there. Perhaps offer an open ear and moral support, it took someone to tell me to my face that I had a problem before it woke me up and it was a good enough scare to get me clean in a hurry and positively changed my life.
From what little Mindy has said about her friend I'd say your friend needs to face her / his fears. Getting emotional over the slightest things means your friend has some major underlying problems and probably uses the drugs to make her / him forget.
