When You were in hospital did anyone speak to you about seeing a therapist for the problems You're having'?
It might help if You had someone to speak to at the moment someone to vent to, to let it all out.
I hope that You do not ever feel the need to take those drugs again as any drugs are bad and do not help in the long term.
It does sound as though You're depressed at the moment, I think it is best You try and organise an appointment with a counsellor or therapist when You're able to go and not working.
Best of luck

There is some phone counselling services if you cant afford a therapist consult, the free phone counselling service might be ok for you until you get other options.  Im not sure on any numbers because im not from america but Im sure you could get them from the internet or from a general dr's office without making an appt.  Its worth a try.  Let me know how you get on.

I am sorry You are unable to afford to see consult at the moment.
I am really glad to hear that you do not want to continue to use drugs and that you
will stop. Your friends are right and drugs can cause an awful impact on someone mind
and mental health. I hope Your able to find a free therapist/counsellor soon and you're welcome. =)

So you guys think its deppresion.because I'm scared it could be a brain disorder from using ecstacy.It gets me angry because my friends n my love n my brother they all think I'm acting up.but I'm not I really feel bad I really can't sleep.they say its all in my brain that I can control it.I wana be my self again my brain feels like it need rest all the time but as much as I try to relax I still have stuff going on in my brain like I'm always thinking.I feel like my heart is always speeding they check my vital signs and I'm okay ughh deppresion or ecstacy messed me up?

Seroquel is an antipsychotic and while it may help you sleep for this short time (this is from someone with experience with the drug) I would be careful taking it and relying upon it.
I was placed on seroquel at a very young age and am still fighting to stay off it 10 Years later. Seroquel is a short term benefit while it may be good for those who are use to it I would never suggest it to someone who has never been on it. The side effects of trying to stop the tablet for eg; if you ever want children and can not take it during pregnancy are horrid. I do not understand why it was prescribed to you as it is not used to treat depression

You are more than welcome. I really hope You get better soon and I am glad You do not want to rely on medication. Sometimes people need medication to help them and if that is the case than it is best but I just think Seroquel is hard to stop once You have been on it for awhile. I am still struggling with my sleep and I have been off it about 5-6 months now.
I am glad Your brother and sister inlaw took you out and You had a good time, it seems as though it was a good distraction and nice to be able to speak face to face with someone about your fears and problems who is in your life.
Will Your Mum not be coming back'? I know exactly how you feel in that situation I love my Mum dearly and not a day goes by I don't wish I could just at least hear her voice but unfortunately yes in some situations you do need to move on.
You can message me anytime hun if You need to talk or want support or anything.

Yes You click on the name of the person (the name in blue) and on the right hand side up the top it will offer You to message that person.
You need to type in a subject like an email though otherwise it will not send and than write the message.

Breaking up with a loved one you spend years with can be devastating. Living with someone for years you grow acustom to them, there living. It put a lot on you, and caused you to feel alone. E is not a good thing to do, and does mess with you rbrain depending on what kind you use. Take 5-htp the next day as well as vitamins, it will give you back the seritonin as well as putting your body back into  abetter shape. You may feel odd for awhile, but it does take awhile to get over things. I say wait a few months before judging anything.
