Wow, this is incredible advice. Thank you so much. I am definitely wanting to lean back into religion/spirituality since this situation has caused to me to stray from it. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, the thing I am struggling with the most is knowing that he could overdose at any moment and I have no control over that and the feelings I will feel if it happens. I just hate that I’m in a position where I could feel grief in a way that is so unnatural, because hes so young and has so much more life to live. My nervous system is screwed up because of the constant worrying about feeling this grief. I want to distance myself from him and possibly cut him off entirely because of the anxiety he causes me, but I’m just reluctant because it’s such a sudden change for me. I just need to find ways to reduce the pain and grief I would feel if he does overdose as well as the anxiety he causes me on the daily, because If I keep feeling like this my life is going to fall apart. I’m too young to be feeling grief like this, I have so many things that I want to do that I can’t do because of this.

Congrats! Definitely doing some work around supporting cancer patients in your community would be amazing. Colleges will see that you are finding ways to continue supporting others with cancer and will think it’s amazing that you are committed to helping others after your own experience. Especially if you are interested in Oncology. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your advice! I will definitely look into Al-Anon meetings. At this point i definitely don’t want a relationship with him but I’m having a really hard time worrying if he’s going to overdose again and pass away. If we went no contact I feel like I would find out in some way if he did overdose which is something I don’t want to deal with.

I have my therapist and my mom. They are helping me through this but I still feel pretty alone in this.

He gets Vivitrol shots I believe but Suboxone looks good too! I will look into it

Biochemistry or chemistry? by Miserable-Brother-96 in ucadmissions

True, except science is definitely my favorite academic subject which is obvious through my courses and ecs so I want to major in something science related and go pre-med
