Confession #85
I have been lying to my doctor about my symptoms for better drugs
I want stronger painkillers so I exaggerate my symptoms every time I see the doctor. I say the pain is much worse than it is and that nothing else works. They've been prescribing me stronger and stronger medication. I'm now addicted. I know I'm lying but I can't stop because the drugs help me escape. The doctor has no idea I'm manipulating the system. I'm scared of what will happen if I tell the truth. I'll lose access to the medication and have to face withdrawal. The guilt and the addiction are both getting worse.
