Question:

Are there drugs or additives in my food that I dont know about?

My mom asked me if I‘m on drugs today. Like, she honestly asked me, and of course I said no. Because I would never do something like that. So then I proceeded to lock myself in my bedroom, drowning in my tears, so hurt that she would think I‘m on drugs.and she told me she‘s sorry. Then she said that she recently read about how there are additives put into our food, and it can manifest itself in our bodies like drugs do. Is she right, or am I just a crazy person? Because I KNOW I‘m not on drugs.

Answer:

Some additives can affect people who are sensitive to them, but I don't think it's your food. You live with your mom, so I'm guessing you're a teen? This is NORMAL behavior for a teen. Your hormones are at the strongest they'll be in your life, and they can definitely make you spaced out at times, as well as super emotional. Don't worry, your hormones will normalize and your emotions and brain will all settle down and start to work a lot better in a few short years!
