Answer by Mind M
Fear of rejection, humiliation and ridicule, of being caught off guard, not having the same interests or upbringing, feelings of intimidation.

Surely traumatic experiences that occurred in ones childhood would play a role in this too.

What Are the Short-Term Effects of Being Addicted to the Drug Cocaine?

Question by Ashley: What are the short-term effects of being addicted to the drug cocaine?
I’m writing an article about Nicole Richie. I know that she was addicted to cocaine for four years, I think, and I want to expand on that topic. I want to write about the negative effects of abusing cocaine. It will be a sort of wake up call to those who are abusing cocaine and to those who are thinking about abusing cocaine. Through this article, I want other people to realize that Nicole’s life became better when she stopped using cocaine. She became healthier and happier. Please help. Thanks.

SSDI Re-Determination?

Question by James B: SSDI Re-determination?
Hi there I have just been sent a letter for my SSDI to be reviewed, I am presently receiving benefits from social security. I am in the state of NJ. My initial disability was determined to be psychological. Depression, bipolar and blindness, I think I don’t even recall. Since then my need for disabilities have grown. I know have pulmonary hypertension with right heart failure as well. Unfortunately i went to jail for a few years ago (May 2009-Nov 2011) & was released Nov of 2011 and during tmy incarceration i had no psychological treatment what so ever and therefore no documentation either to support my mental woes. The NJ state of disability determination services dept has sent me a letter (SSA-3380-BK). I am of course concerned about my lack of mental health treatment recently and the reflection this may have on determining the result of this process. Will my compounded ailments make me more likely to win this process? Will SSA admin understand that the lack of mental health documentation due to my incarceration? Incidentally I called the adjudicator after receiving the letter and this woman stated that the disabilities listed on her records were Depression, Drug alcohol abuse,Blindness,Insomnia, Pulmonary Hypertension and Heart Failure. The only category no well documented is the depression.
Thank you for your time

Can You Get Fired From Your Job for Going Into Substance Abuse Rehab?

Question by angelinas2104: Can you get fired from your job for going into substance abuse rehab?
My husband just went into substance abuse rehab. When told his boss he was admitting himself in the next day, they fired him. They have known that he has been fighting this addiction for awhile and thought he had been clean. It is a drug free workplace and I don’t know how but he just recently passed a hair drug test even after he admitted he wouldn’t pass it. What is the law on this? We live in missouri.
