every now and then i take pills. not like bars or anything, nothing that i have to buy. just pills, like perscriptions in my dads bathroom cabinet and when im at a friends house sometimes when they arent around or when theyre sleeping i take pills from them. i dont really know why, mostly the pills just make me feel like i dont care and/or make me sleepy. i feel sometimes like id rather dream than be around people or in reality. everything is so frustrating. im not trying to overdose or anything like that, i just feel like i need to take pills so that im not so into reality. lately ive been feeling like this a lot, almost like i HAVE to have something. (not an addiction because i dont do it enough) whats wrong with me? how do i make myself happy like i used to be without withdrawing myself from reality?

BLONDE911 answered Wednesday October 5 2005, 9:25 pm: you might be wrong.. it is an addiction.. just like all the other answers... this isnt safe at all! You have to stop until it gets worse.. first of all have you thought of therapy.. even a counselor at a school is a type of therapy so start there and then see if you need more help. First of all try doing something that gets you happy and energetic such as getting some friends like going to a theme park or going to the movies, out to eat, swimming anything active and with people! Tell a friend and maybe your friend can help! i hope this helps but the main thing is GET HELP!

It's really dangerous for your health especially since the feeling that you "HAVE to have something" can very very easily lead to the physical addiction that you are talking about. There is also such a thing as emotional addiction, which you do have. Your body doesn't need it...yet...but your mind definitely seems to. There are tons of ways for you to be happy and taking pills is not one of them. Taking pills is probably actually preventing you from being happy because you believe that it's the only thing that can make you happy. Stop right away if you are able to and talk to someone about it right away. I hope that everything turns out alright and that you find the real happiness that you're looking for. Good luck!
