I am not at risk of drug addiction, I didn't self harm either. I am not an addict, drug seeker, it don't have any desire to take pills or become addicted.

It was an accident. That left me traumatized from a sedation that went horribly wrong in the ER. That triggered every nightmare and pain I've experienced in my life. That has left me in a downward spiral that I didn't ask for and have been desperately trying to control.

I did as my T asked, I'm frustrated and exhausted. Seriously, just needed maybe a week or two of low dose pain killers. That's all, and because pain meds have been abused by others, I'm somehow a future addict.

Sometimes it's like being in an invisible wheelchair - some people just don't get it, and you havebto work sooo much harder just to get treated like a 'normal' person:(

I am sorry if my post made you feel that I was saying you self harmed. To be honest, I have never met anyone who self harms who did it for attention. I am sure that a small minority of those who do it for those reasons exists but generally it's got little to do with attention seeking.

About the possible addiction, Not calling you one. If you follow your docs advice and take the medication exactly for it, and if it stays short term, you won't have to worry about it so much.
