Nie,

Thanks for being honest with us about how much (and why) you’re using medications to numb things. I can tell that it’s difficult to cope with the feelings you’ve been having, and that getting high or taking too many pills has given you relief in some of the worse moments.

You mentioned that the school has gotten pretty strict about your pot use…do you find yourself taking pills more often because that other way of coping isn’t available anymore? Do you think you’d be willing to get help if you started to get any worrisome physical symptoms?

Nie, I can hear how difficult — how much of a fight it is – to just keep going every day, and how it often seems bearable only because of those things that help you feel numb and distant from the heavy emotions.
