Just want to say how disappointed I was today to find a bag with marijuana dregs in it on the couch today. I asked my 17 yr old son if it was his and he looked guilty and said "yes, but he's only been smoking it occasionally and it won't cause any harm."

I think I'm insane.

Hallo. For the past 2 weeks, I think I may be slightly insane. I'm not really sure how to describe it. I don't have any diagnosed mental illness, (I'm too afraid to seek help in real life) But I think that I should at least figure out what is wrong
