Yep just found out my bf sister was. She was isolating herself at times because she was hiding it until she tried to kill herself and then it was brought out.

How do you cope @cali22bp

@Guitarist07 I just talk with her and find out her feelings and why she turned to drugs and what other feelings she was going through and found out a lot of problems she was ignoring and keeping buried that affected her and a whole lot more. But we keep in mind she wasn't doing it because she hates us and being around us but hates herself and doesnt think she deserves better. Everyday is a struggle for both her and us but we get through it day by day and try to laugh in the moments of sadness. I also dont talk dont to her and make her feel bad for hurting in silence and abusing the drugs because that will make her feel worse but instead I tell her what own your mistakes and past and dont hide from it or pretend it didn't happen because lies will eat at you

@cali22bp at least you get that..... they disconnect themselves from the world and come back when sober and then do it again
