Sometimes I feel like a sociopath...?

I really am a nice caring person but over the past few months I've become more and more detached emotionally. Nothing really effects me and even when it does I refuse to show it.

I'm current have a drug addiction problem and have had a lot of consequences because of it including arrests, jail, homelessness, etc. Trouble it, I really don't understand them. They don't effect me. I see them as no big deal even though logically i know they are.

on top of this, i am also crazy impulsive. i do not think before i act in any circumstance. my psychiatrist told me he is ready to get rid of me as a patient because he doesn't want to be worried about what crazy impulsive thing I do next.

I think there may be something wrong with my frontal lobe...a former psychiatrist of mine said it might be under developed because of past trauma. i have no proof though and my current dr says thats bs.

ideas?

Well when you have a drug addiction it becomes the most important thing in your life so maybe thats why you really don't care about the other stuff and you feel detached. You need to get some help with your addiction. After you clean up you will start caring for yourself and for others again. I wish you the best
