Q&A: My moms addicted to meth. Is it normal to have anxiety when people around me smoke pot?
Question by Scout90: My moms addicted to meth. Is it normal to have anxiety when people around me smoke pot?
My mom has been addicted to meth for 5 years now. It ruined my family and my parents divorced over that and other issues. My boyfriend smoked before he was with me, but stopped when we got together. He did three times (with me knowing) while we were together, but I began to hyper ventilate and almost have an anxiety attack .
Is it normal for children of drug addicted parents to go through such anxiety over a small thing like pot?

um. its like this…….. while im VERY pro-drugs……… if you don’t want him to do it and he does it any way knowing how its going to make you feel then dump the guy. Is it normal? Whats normal anyway? if this is how you react then he should be understanding of that. Like me i cant stand snakes. if i see one i freeze in terror. is that normal? but people know to keep snakes away from me. hope this helps you.

Well I would say that having so much family problems would lead for you be traumatized. So yes it is normal and I would say that the best thing to do would be to stay away from people who have anything to do with drugs because that usually will lead to more problems.

Its normal to have feelings of anxiety about something that destroyed your family but if these feelings are getting out of control to the point that you cant breath or your having panic attacks then I suggest that you see a doctor about it asap. I just want to say I’m so sorry that your mom got addicted to this drug, its a horrible one and the worst thing possible is that she hurt her family, one being you…..May God Bless you and your family and give you strenght to get through this and may he also place upon your mothers heart to get help before it does even more damage.
