He's in a better place. Trust me. I'm 32 and have been clean for 5 years, and I wish I died on my kitchen floor that one time I overdosed. Life isn't fair. It's brutal. 5 years clean, 32 years old, and still have no future, no direction, no skills, nothing. I'm currently on the verge of giving up. I had a job at the TSA that was going to work out. A federal job. But I failed my psychological exam because 7 years ago, when I was getting high, I was admitted into 3 psych wards, and apparently that disqualifies me. They give recovering addicts every reason to give up. I have nothing. At 32. I wish I was dead every single day, and if I didn't have a mentally challenged brother who needed me, I promise you, I'd be long gone off this earth. Your son is in a better place, I promise you. This world is hell. Literal hell.

​@@user-ou9jb7ni5nhonestly though, even if that's true and it's what you believe, why would you say that to someone, especially someone who is in a state of grief and afraid they almost lost someone very close to them which would devastate them?Why would you attempt to strip from someone something that brings them comfort? I'm agnostic myself but it pisses me off when people make comments like you just did. We get it bro, you're so much smarter and better because you're an atheist

Watching my mom make the decision to cremate her child is a memory I wish I didn't have! My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family ❤

She’s a dream mother who didn’t deserve her beautiful & intelligent daughter to be murdered by poison. I’m so sorry for your loss. Just terrible. As a child, I didn’t care that my mother didn’t love or like me. I only wanted her to be nice to me, want me, & protect me. Instead, I was abused on a scale only a few know. After my final escape from a basement at 31, I’ve been searching for a family & parents I never had but always wanted like her. Sending love, strength, prayers, & healing to both you & your family 💕

I lost my only child to fentanyl as well, Melissa was 31. Her doctor prescribed it to her after she had been off of it for 2 years. She had a car accident a few years prior and was literally put back together again. She was bulimic and weighed around 90 pounds when she overdosed on fentanyl and oxy codone that was prescribed to her. My daughter was a drug addict who lost her children and everything she had to live for. It's been 8 years and it still cuts like a knife. I know she is with God as life here was impossible for her here. Bullied by her piers for her kindness and being overweight as a young girl, she never fit in with this cruel, heartless society, we live in. My friends think I am fine. I can't wait to join her. May God give you and your family peace...

This is true! I have seen tons of things showing the danger of these drugs. I remember dare program in middle school. I was scared to do anything of this sort when I was in school. A lot of these kids unfortunately, are even older some young adults and do it. What more can the parents do bc the public isn’t the whole issue but all I keep seeing is it’s the states fault, it’s the police fault, its the friends fault. All these people are not in these home to stop this from happen. Sometimes the word is getting around to everyone. I feel for these kids and parents and I pray this ends.

@@miajohnson5744 My heart breaks for you, my sweet woman. But my heart also breaks that people aren't taught/don't study God's perfectly preserved Word (the King James Bible) "rightly divided" to understand what is and isn't going on spiritually right now. I don't mean to hurt you by saying this, but I think it's hurtful to other people when their child overdoses and actually dies and they hear someone else claiming their child had an angel to protect them so they lived. Does this mean that the on who died did NOT have an angel "watching over them"? I can't imagine having a child die from an overdose and then hearing/reading that someone else's child got to have an angel prevent their death. It's simply not true. It's just CHANCE -- nothing more, nothing less. Please read Deuteronomy 22:6, I Samuel 6:9, 2 Samuel 1:6, Ecclesiastes 9:11, Luke 10:31, and I Corinthians 15:37 KJB. These verses all talk about things happening by "chance;" so, it's a completely scriptural thing. Can you please provide a verse that says that God provides angels to watch over some people to protect them when they make unwise, naive, or foolish choices? God is also not a respecter of persons. In Acts 10:34 KJB, Peter (one of the twelve apostles of the tribes of Israel), said, "...of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons..." This means that God would never do something for some people but not for others. That would be unjust, my Friend. It would also be extremely unloving. Also, God isn't micro-managing/intervening in anyone's lives and controlling what happens. We make our own choices, and then we suffer the consequences. Sometimes our choices affect only our life on earth and sometimes our choices have eternal consequences. On that note, it is very important to understand God's will. Concerning God's will, 2 Timothy 2:4 KJB says, "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." Therefore, we need to know the correct gospel so we can trust it and be saved, and we then need to understand sound doctrine after that to grow and mature (because sound doctrine is what God uses to change people from the inside out). Unfortunately, denominational "Christianity" doesn't teach the Bible correctly, so people don't know the correct gospel and then they are taught unsound doctrine to boot! (Unsound doctrine would be doctrine that is meant for the nation of Israel under the Law. We aren't under the Law in this grace dispensation; we are under grace. Grace reigns!) verses to back this up are: Romans 6:14, Romans 5:21 KJB. I Thessalonians 2:13 KJB also says, "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." If I may, I would like to offer a clear presentation of the gospel of grace in case you have never heard it. Then, if you haven't, you can trust it and be saved. You can then study the Bible "rightly divided" per God's instruction in 2 Timothy 2:15 KJB. The Bible must be understood dispensationally. Right now we are in the dispensation of the grace of God (Ephesians 3:1-2 KJB). Salvation is a free gift because Christ finished the work for us. Ephesians 1:13 KJB says when you hear his grace gospel and trust it, you are "sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise." You are "forgiven all trespasses" (Colossians 2:13 KJB), you are "complete in Christ" (Colossians 2:10 KJB), you are taken out of Adam and placed into Christ (I Corinthians 15:22 KJB), you become a "new creature" (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJB). These are some of the many "spiritual blessings" we receive in this current grace dispensation (Ephesians 1:13 KJB). The body of Christ members do not receive "physical blessings" like national Israel did under the Law because of their Covenants. Praise God that we aren't under the Law or these Covenants because the "curses" for disobedience were not too desirable. One thing is for sure. The BOC does not have any angels protecting them. That also would be a "physical blessing," and those, again, aren't promised the body of Christ. Our apostle, Paul, called the gospel he preached "my gospel" three times (Romans 2:16, Romans 16:25, 2 Timothy 2:8 KJB) because he received it "by revelation" (Galatians 1:11-12 KJB) from the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 9 KJB. Christ appeared to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus and saved him by His grace. Christ made Saul "Paul." He is our apostle (Romans 11:13 KJB), our pattern, and the very first member of the church the body of Christ (I Timothy 1:16 KJB). He wrote Romans through Philemon. These 13 books contain the sound doctrine for the church the body of Christ under grace. (Unfortunately, denominational "Christianity" mostly teaches from the four gospels. However, Jesus wasn't dealing with Gentiles in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. (Matthew 10:5-6, Matthew 15:24, Romans 15:8-9, Ephesians 2:11-12 KJB are some examples of this truth.) The Grace Gospel: I Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB) Christ DIED for our sins; He was BURIED; He ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures Grace and Peace, my Friend! Graceambassadors.com

This Fentanyl is the Devil. These kids are noway aware of how it kills. The dealers should be held accountable. Although I have the utmost respect for everyone here..my daughter got a bad bag a heroin with fentanyl in it. She was pregnant living 4 houses down.. ofcourse we weren't talking because her new boyfriend was into the stuff also and I knew it. She passed out, turned blue. He threw water on her and called not 911 - but the Father to my daughters 1st child. He came running and called 911. The boyfriend was afraid he had a warrant so my daughter touched deaths door and she was brought to deaths door but Narcan back. Her BFF took her to get it. He so called love wasn't doing anything to save her. Thank God she and the baby survived. But it wasn't by but seconds. I pray there's not a next time..🙏

Just the first couple minutes of your story about your daughter, I feel like you are speaking about my boys. Andy was 29.5 years old when he passed away January 16th 2020. He took 1 pill that he thought was Norco that was not. He had a genius IQ but didn't graduate high school. He had a passion for reading and writing. He said he was writing a book in pre-school. He was always reading books far beyond his age, writing all the time as well. He was living with me and his youngest brother Adam who found him that day when he got home from school, Adam was 14 at the time Andy passed. Adam & Andy were like the same person 15.5 years apart. Adam was reading chapter books in pre-school and writing stories as well as poetry in kindergarten. Adam was very socially friendly when Andy was socially awkward. They loved the same things, Andy wrote a story about Ryan White, the young man who died from AIDS in Indiana where we live. He was in 2nd grade and his story brought tears to everyone in the school that day when he got an award for his writing and his passion. Adam was reading at a college graduate level in the 4th grade. He was passionate about what books could do for children all over the world. He wrote poetry more than stories or books. When Andy passed away we cleaned out the loft where he had his room set up, I found the book that he had been writing since he was 4 years old. I had no idea he had it printed and bound, he illustrated it as well. It was a very difficult thing to read, very dark, but it is more like a play, as he was passionate about the theater. Adam passed away May 21st 2023, I found him slumped over on the floor in his room under the window where his face lay in a pool of his vomit and blood. He was ice cold and blue. He had been gone for several hours by the time I found him. My heart is gone 💔 😢. Although I have 1 child living, he is not in good shape, he has been using drugs for several years, I always thought it would be his life cut short because he is the one that uses the drugs daily, he also asks me why he wasn't the one who passed away, but I told him that God must have a great plan for him, he is still not sober. He has been staying with my ex husband, the father of my children. He called me Thursday, October 19th 2023, last week, crying hysterically telling me daddy was gone. They were toxic together, using heroin and he found his dad on the floor in his room the day before, unresponsive. He said he tried CPR for over an hour before calling help, but he had been gone for hours when Alex found him. I begged him to get help, to please make this what would make him stop, but he hasn't been sober since. I feel like a terrible mother but I can't let him in my life or home due to his choices. He has begged me to let him come home to stay with me, but I can't. I am beyond broken 💔 😢. I met their dad when I was 13 years old, he was my only boyfriend from day one. He had addiction problems for the entire time I knew him, cut off communication with him from 2012 when I divorced him until the day Andy passed away. We have been best friends for the past 3.5 years, now he is gone too. I am jealous that he is with our kids now and I am still here. I apologize for rambling on. 40 years of my life is gone in the blink of an eye and you are so right, we hear about the conflicts/ wars in other countries that we are sending billions of dollars to, we see the amount of people that died from covid, but I have yet to see one single news story about this murder weapon that is killing a generation of our country, our future is being erased by thousands of children daily, but we don't hear anything about it. At least Texas is doing these documentaries for the families of all who have lost their child to this very scary drug. I have been watching them for the past few years & I am hopeful that I can go to schools in my area to tell the students about my kids who were just like them. Adam didn't go to school his 9th grade year whatsoever, he returned to a school in our district that is for kids who have had trauma in their lives or need credit recovery to graduate. He finished his 9th & 10th grade classes in the first quarter, he had straight A's as he always had. He was accepted to every college he applied to for academic scholarship. He wanted to be an international journalist who reported from 3rd world countries about the importance of education, mainly reading and writing, his passion. We had a celebration of life for him where every single teacher he had since pre-school attended, over 200 kids that were friends with him, his Big Brother from the Big Brother/ Big Sister program, he was matched with his Big Brother when he was 12, but his Big Brother moved to Texas after 18 months of being his mentor, friend and confidant. He flew in town just to be here for me & his dad during this time. I was so moved by the sheer number of people who loved him enough to attend the Celebration of his Life that ended far too soon 💔. Andy was my oldest son & best friend. Adam was my baby boy, my everything & my purpose to keep going every single day since we lost Andy 💔 😢. I don't know how much longer I can hold on, it's getting more difficult by the minute 💔 😢😢😢... Hugs to you, your family and friends. I am very sorry for your loss & hopefully before our entire future is gone, someone will do something to stop this murder drug from killing our children!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. You have more strength and more courage than you know. I wonder if you can find a grief counselor. They are like angels who walk among us… seriously. They are so kind and so gentle, I’d forgotten how to be kind and gentle to myself. At first I was skeptical and thought to myself that grieving is natural, and all I had been doing was grieving! But that wasn’t true. I had been crying, but not grieving. The grief counselor helped me through the feelings that I had been afraid to touch, because it was all so painful. And you’ve lost three people! Two sons and an ex husband/best friend. That’s a LOT of loss! Truly, I want you to get as much support as you can find, and please, start with the grief counselors. I just know in my heart they will help you so so much, and you deserve it. I will be thinking of you, and knowing you will make it through this and come out on the other side even stronger, and one day, you will extend your hand to reach out to others, because you have that rare, valuable knowledge that’s only gained after it’s cost you everything. ❤

There may be different reasons why some people in life experience more suffering and heartache, but I’m confident there is a Father that loves us, and will end all this pain. May He bring those into your life that can offer support.

I survived . Fentanyl missed me, maybe it just wasn’t around enough yet in 2015 when I got addicted to heroin. I was a gifted student. I was smart, I had talents and hobbies. And I had a boss at Work who introduced me to the drug. And I hope to God any parent that sees this really really tries to start making these things matter. I tried to get into rehab. I would call all the clinics around where I lived. The beds were always full.. I was told unless I was shooting up or pregnant that I would not be getting into a bed anytime within any year. My mom took me home and I quit here when cold, turkey and I’m eight years sober but it was literally only because I didn’t know anyone in the area that had any. I got claimed from heroin by a stroke of luck. I listened to the story today to remind myself of why. I’m quite sorry for your loss, but I have so much things in my heart for sharing it with us

It's the world we live in. You have any idea how hard it is to get a career these days? I'm 32, I've been clean for 5 years, and can't catch a break. Had a federal job with TSA lined up, but of course my past disqualified me from it. Just unbelievable. Life gives every recovering addict reasons to just give up. I wish I died that day on my kitchen floor. Life isn't fair. I've self taught myself and gotten certain licenses for fields such as pest applicator, but still can't find somebody to give me a chance. I've done everything right for 5 years, and still can't get one thing to go my way. Children these days are scared. It's not like when you guys were growing up where you could get a job, move out at 18, and have your future set. It's not like that anymore. You have to know somebody or put yourselves in mountains of debt in order to get an opportunity. There's nothing you can do to help. It's simply the world we live in. Until this world has jobs that pay a reasonable liveable wage, kids are going to continue to turn to drugs. That's the reason I started. No direction, scared about my future. Leads to depression and anxiety and bang, before you know it, you're a full blown addict with little reason to get clean.

It’s most certainly moral and medical. To extinguish the need for moral foundation in raising humans is exactly why we see the rise of “mental health illness” in this society. I work with acutely symptomatic patients every day, and the most sick are not those who need anti-psychotics due to schizophrenia or even those with Autism, but those who have zero roots in spiritual beliefs or values. They are lost, depraved, empty walking zombies. The ones that progress and experience positive outcomes have some semblance of moral foundation and reliance.

I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict who has been clean and sober 33 years. And Fentynal has been in EVERY STREET DRUG SINCE 2016. All of them. There are articles, TV programs and KZfaq videos on this subject. "A&E Intervention" Canada did a WHOLE season about the Fentynal crisis in 2019 I think. The government aren't able to solve this problem for whatever reason so parents need to start talking to their kids when they are 10 years old "To NEVER, EVER, EVER take a pill or a drug or a substance from a friend, stranger or ANYONE. And to only take prescriptions that you dole out to them that are prescribed by a doctor. And have a family meeting once a month about this subject. It's the only way it's ever going to end.

Thank you for putting the responsibility for this back on parents. There isnt a single person regardless of age that does not know that you are playing a dangerous game every time you ingest pills/illegal drugs/drink. These deaths are tragic and sad but putting the responsibility completely onto the shoulders of the government/dope dealers will not solve this problem. No parent should have to deal with this but when it happens, we have to get real about the reasons and they do not begin or end with government oversight or lack thereof. They do not begin or end with dealers who push this poison. The cold hard fact is that if there was no customer/partaker of this drug, there would be no dealers and no problem for the government to get involved in. I am sick to death of hearing, they thought they were taking oxy or percocet. Those drugs are illegal too. They got more than they bargained for but lets address the willingness to take illegal drugs period.

Anxiety seems to be a recurring theme, especially, these last few years. As someone who “has always” suffered from it, I can say that there are things one can do to lessen its impact. Our young adults should not be suffering from all this, but the state of the world, etc… Heartbreaking.💔 I loved watching horror movies, but had to come to terms with the fact that they worsened my condition and triggered the nightmares; they’re night terrors - not just prevalent in childhood. Of course, mental health issues are a conglomeration of all kinds of things we don’t fully understand. But, if we could see into the spirit realm, we’d probably lose our minds. There are doors that shouldn’t be opened, but I speak for myself. I can’t even try to convince my daughter about what she allows her children to watch. Everything these young minds watch is absorbed into their subconscious. And things DO GO bump in the night. My grandkid has always been highly sensitive to these kinds of things. I’m speaking from personal experience, treading carefully - not trying to offend or convince anyone. If we believe in God, we have to pray for a covering over these young people, in the name of Jesus. I’m not trying to convert anyone, but read the book of Ephesians (chapter 6). May God comfort and strengthen you. Thank you! - and ALL you parents sharing something that is so personal and raw for the sake of raising awareness.

I lost a friend to fentanyl. He was my spiritual advisor always looking for a way to get closer to God. He was very experienced with psychedelics and helping military members with PTSD. I was researching after his death and happened upon this channel. I immediately called my teenage granddaughter. She is fifteen. I think she may have smoked pot in the past but she had never heard of Fentanyl. I sent her a couple of these videos and explain to her what it was, and that she needed to share this information with everyone she knew at her school. I hope she did. I hope she took me seriously. She goes to school in Mid-Michigan.

As we begin to learn more about trauma (emotional brain damage) we can begin to understand how the bit of us which is suffering and in distress clouds and overpowers the bit which is all about logic. The way I see it is that, in the end, all anyone really cares about - intelligent or otherwise - is how they FEEL As humans we'll take action to feel better, even if it goes against what we know to be safe or right. People just want relief from their distress. All drug use is an attempt to bring relief, even if it's temporary. That's how intelligent people end up in the morgue right beside other less intelligent people. I hope this makes sense?

His mother, and my grandmother and my mother were too embarrassed by addiction to even begin to admit it was happening to them. They passed addiction down the line and yet his death was “his” fault. They did not have a funeral they just erased him. I watch these so I don’t forget. We can’t forget this can happen to anyone any family anywhere. We need specialized task forces, we need community outreach and we need awareness. Drug addiction and overdose isn’t a drug issue it’s a hurt inside that need’s safety to be expressed and extinguished. Why aren’t there mental health task forces, why is that an out there idea???!

This story touches me very deep!💔 On one side I’m a mother too and my beloved daughter is one year older than Kate was, and only to imagine loosing her makes me sick in my stomach, so I feel deeply with this so brave and sensitive and wonderful mum! On the other side, I was once a kid like Kate - I had the same feelings, for example the thought that I was walking constantly through a fog, completely lost and that I’m not allowed to be in the light and sunshine of life - like all others are, but not me… And I was addicted too, using heroin since I was only 15, because of all my anxieties and depression problems, because I didn’t have any support at all and I didn’t have such a caring and understandable mum or family and lot of traumatic shi*t happened trough my childhood too… But I’m so lucky that there was no Fentanyl at that time, because I’m pretty sure if it was, I would not be here any more - like Kate!!😪 And that makes me sad and angry, but also glad for me personally, and I can’t describe what else… I feel soo sad for this precious young girl, her poor mummy, her family and all the other precious kids that die daily from this horrific poison!!! On the other side I’m happy to be still here, I’m happy for my kids, happy that I was lucky enough to escape! This epedemic must stop!!! No more deaths!! It’s so heartbreaking…💔

I agree! in 2023! there’s been MORE COVERAGE on fentanyl than I can even imagine, BUT kids of ANY age are still “AT RISK!” of what could and for SO MANY “has happened!” and yet they STILL play Russian Roulette! a LETHAL GAME OF CHANCE! they somehow rationalize that it will NOT happen to them! MY GOD how SAD these stories are!!! 💔💔💔💔💔💔 I have 2 adult sons (38/34) and one of them is currently on meth and the other is struggling with an alcohol addiction!!!! I CONSTANTLY 🙏🏽🙏🏽WITH BELIEF! that God will DELIVER THEM BOTH from THIS MADNESS!!!! they can only receive help!! when they ADMIT to needing HELP!! these videos just CRUSH ME!!!!!! my heart 💔 and BLEEDS for these surviving moms & families!!!! I AM SO VERY SORRY for their loss!!! 😢 the sad part is although some of them may have education behind fentanyl, the REAL DRAGON AND BEAST is the addiction! so as one mom said in another same type video, they just want to TURN OFF their sadness, depression, loneliness, lowliness, emptiness, feelings of whatever for however long trying to mask the pain of whatever they’re feeling!!!! even while knowing the feeling of euphoria will only be a few fleeting minutes! the deep and VERY persistent cravings in the prefrontal lobes of their brains OVERRIDES EVERYTHING!! telling them to TAKE THAT RISK anyway!!! 😢😢😢💔💔💔I’m SO 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for these families! it HURTS beyond the telling of these stories!

@@lashurediscussion4970Fentanyl was killing young teenagers when Trump was President, we noticed that, nurse in the ICU when Covid came, but my job was in the Emergency Department. It started around 5 / 6 years ago, before Biden became President. It wasn’t in the news, we were pretty surprised, because of the amount of deaths and overdoses of Fentanyl. We wanted to warn the Health Department, but were told that it wasn’t that serious, just like Covid, we couldn’t understand why so many were dying of lung infection, suddenly we had two Doctors die, some nurses, it took months before Trump told the truth, had known that it was a airborne virus, deadly, about 30.000 people had died around the States. The death toll of Fentanyl was out of control. When Biden became President, was when he received the real truth about the death rate of Fentanyl. Many had no mental health issues, never tried drugs, just out of curiosity. If people had really known how long this had been going on, something could have been done earlier. It’s mostly was coming from China then, and President Biden was able then to stop containers coming of ships from China, packed with Fentanyl, but then it started being smuggled from Venezuela, Peru, into Mexico, then packed into trucks, also from small speedboats packed usually with marijuana, were now packed with Fentanyl. Many have huge laps, all over America, in huge mansions. You would think that it’s only immigrants, but, not true. Many, people you wouldn’t think about being involved with the making of this drug, are White American citizens. Why l know this, my sister in married to a sometimes undercover drug dealer, but he is a Detective in the Narcotics Division. It’s to heavy to carry over the border from Mexico, Marijuana was easier, and didn’t receive a heavy sentence, and carriers were dying from the fumes, because of the warm weather, etc. Gladly now, after 5 /6 years, something is being done about this situation, but because they have been doing this for so long, without it being taken seriously, it’s out of control, and guess who’s getting the whole blame for this situation that started when he wasn’t even President? President Biden, when it was Trump who was President, but didn’t do anything to stop it. I honestly don’t care who was President, but he should have done something about then, just like Covid, waited almost 3 months before he told America and how deadly the Virus was, he found out first week in December, but didn’t tell the American people until March, Countries in Europe were already closing there borders. 3 months in Europe, only Doctor, Hospitals, Drug stores and Grocery stores were open for 3 months. That’s why the death rate was low, America had over one million Americans die, and still dying. It really hurts me, but it isn’t only Texas, Florida, California, all around America, people are dying from using Fentanyl, every day. We had one day, 24 overdoses and 19 deaths. Trump waited to long, and let President Biden deal with it and the blame, just like Covid.

Agree & My one shift from your perspective: Working w HS & college students, it's not necessarily a 'simple' not care; it's more a recognition::denial ratio of the risk. We process information w such complexity. For example, looking at a pill--especially a little blue or pink one, or having a brand/context, like 'it's a Xanax', can be a shrug or impulse + swallow. How lethal or the risk/s is hard to fathom. Even w everything about drinking & driving? People drink & drive--'just this once'; or 'it's not far', or 'I ate food, I'm ok'... Few drivers set out to be in an accident. Few think them in this car on this drive is lethal. The same is true w diabetes & insulin, or being sleep deprived, etc etc. I'm older & experienced & KNOW it can happen to me. Other people reason, rationalize or don't think---don't think it will happen to them---or won't THIS time. Regardless, it's heartbreaking how vulnerable we are.

Kates mental health issues make her completely relatable. I suspect the majority of people alive today on earth are dealing with mental health issues. What happened to Kate could happen to anyone. I relate to Kate. I am an old lady now but from the time I was a child I suffered in a very similar way to Kate. I was a very sensitive child, creative, fun, loving, and very extroverted. I was tormented by nightmares through most of my childhood, and plagued with heavy anxiety and bouts of depression in my teenage years. By the time I was graduating high school I was self-medicating with marijuana. I did that for 20 years. It really didn’t help that much, but it did distract me. Also, I’d like to note that today’s marijuana is a lot different than the marijuana that I was smoking and I would encourage anyone with children to discourage their children smoking what is a highly engineered product and is also being used as a vehicle for fentanyl. Things didn’t turn around for me until I got on medication in my 40s. It took a while to find the right combination but today my anxiety and depression are under control. It took a lifetime to accomplish that. I send my best wishes for healing and prayers for peace to Kates family. May the sweet girl rest in peace. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Shevwas funny, kind, mouthy & a force to be reckoned with. Ill never know if somewhere along the way someone hurt her. I was super protective but i wonder what caused this force of nature to doubt herself. To need to quiet the noise in her head. She often asked why am i like this moma? I had no answer. All i could do was love her hard. Get help . I know so much more than i knew 5 yrs ago. Today we might have had a chance. 5 yrs ago it was crumbs compsred to the knowledge we hv know.

My son had an opiate addiction after being in an automobile accident and given OxyContin. We sent him to Mexico for an Ibogaine treatment which is illegal in the US. The US is supposedly doing trials with it to see if it’s safe. He was given the dose of Ibogaine, stayed in Mexico for 3 days after treatment then on to a drug treatment center for 3 months. That was 5 years ago. He’s happy and healthy, he finished college and does some charity work. I wish this was available in our country…

I so badly wanted to send my son for treatment in Mexico. Whenever I talked about the treatment their doing in Mexico my friends and family would think I’m crazy for wanting him to do such an experimental treatment. My son was the one who told me about it. We read so many success stories about their treatment program. He was willing to do anything to get better. I was a single mom having lost my husband at a very young age. So needless to say I couldn’t afford sending him to Mexico. Even though I would have done anything in my power to save my son. He was my world and his struggles were my struggles. I lost him to this horrible drug on 11-25-21. That was also the last day I will ever be truly happy again. I will fake my smile for my two daughters and pretend to be ok for the rest of my life. I will miss him every second of everyday until my last breath.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have a 30 yr old daughter who has had substance and mental health problems since about age 11 or 12 including fentanyl, which almost killed her twice. She relapsed about 4 months ago and last I spoke with her she was trying to get clean but having so much trouble finding mental health/drug treatment without health insurance and she didn't want to go into a rehab. I haven't heard from her in 3 months and have no way to reach her or know where she lives. I am expecting the worst, if I ever find out what happened to her at all. My deepest sympathies for anyone going through this. May God be with you.

My heart goes out to you, I can’t even imagine what all that worry is doing to your heart. I hope that your daughter finds healing and peace.
