First off, welcome Chris to LS, im sure you've probably realized by now that this is probably one of the friendliest and supportive communities you can possibly find on the internet. Judgment free and full of caring people who will do their utmost best to provide love and support to everyone.
as for the situation your in, i know it extremely well, i too have had problems with drugs, hard and otherwise - ive been clean for a couple of years now.
Ive also lived in a sometimes volatile environment. I moved out of my parents home when i was 15/16 due to the arguments and screaming and shouting getting me down to such an extent i was prescribed Prozac. Due to unpredictable things ive had to move back in with them, and due to many factors that have happened in my life i have been put back on anti-depressants.
Another thing i can relate to is the anxiety medication, im on and off this like a yo-yo. Due to being abused mentally and physically in the past, ive grown a fear of people. Sometimes if im out somewhere i can have a panic attack just because im surrounded by people. Same if someone makes a fast movement near me, or just moves in a way my brain reacts to it as a threat and i panic.
prime example is when i was at the cinema with Fireblade, my fiancee, i dont know what triggered it but i got really scared and panicky, luckily Fb knew what to do and managed to get me to calm down before it got to a bad state.

i get this from my parents ALL the time. Its incredibly disheartening that they refuse to show me any support while i go through such a hard time. I understand exactly how it feels to be told its not real and that its all in your head and you can make it go away if you dont think of it etc etc. if only things were really that easy!
dont feel alone out there with these problems Chris, theres a lot more people like me and you that have these problems, and its together then we can learn and help eachother. Ive found such support here and from other people that know what im going through i hope myself and everyone here can help you too
