    First off, if you keep this erratic and abusive life style up, something bad WILL happen. YOu ay actually end up killing yourself. Your body could shut down, because of the abuse. I will say this,

    you do not need to head to a psych-ward. What you are asking is for help and that is a step in the right direction. I'm so sorry you feel the way you feel, but self medicating does not make your problems go away, it only worsens them. Drinking and drugs are slowly killing you. And if you can not see, they have an effect on the brain. They are defiantly screwing with yours and will only have a negative effect on your life. You are much to young, to give up on life. God did not put you on this earth to be afraid or to lose yourself. I strongly hope you go to rehab. There you can get the counseling you need and find the root of your problem. There you will find lasting friends who you can relate to, and hopefully you'll find someone that learns to love you for you and not sex. Also cutting is a completely different topic, stop cutting! If you need release, try drawing on your skin where you wish to cut, try holding a ice cube in your hand, snap a rubber band to your skin. The only person responsible for your happiness is you. Once you let go and accept life for what it is, you will learn to stay clean. PLease, from the bottom of my heart, seek help. I hate to hear that you are going through this, that your are over worrying, that you're scared. It makes me want to cry, it makes me want to fight for you, to seek you out and wrap you in a hug and tell you, that you have a purpose in life and that purpose is not doing drugs. But the worst part is, you may be scared for yourself, but think of how your mother must feel. Her instincts tell her she needs to help you, but you can only help yourself. GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS. -3H

    Bad news for you. It turns out that even a total stranger could have you committed against your will. They merely need to make a statement to the police or a local hospital that they believe you are a threat to yourself or others. A doctor may place a temporary hold on you while they contact a mental health specialist to interview you. If he agrees that your drug use and behavior constitute a threat to yourself or others, he can issue a 72 hour hold during which time you will be evaluated by a team of psychiatrists. At the end of 72 hours, the hold can be renewed periodically based upon a consensus of the psychiatrists. As for legal precedent, drug addicts have frequently been found to be a danger to themselves or others and held against their will for treatment. It all depends upon the severity of your addiction and your behavior while you are under the influence.

    Check into a good rehab clinic, they have docs on staff to help with the other issues and they will be able to address the susbstance abuse. Do It soon rather than later. Best of luck!
