Many people don't understand that the reason a person with mental health issues drinks or does drugs is the chemical changes allow them to feel normal. I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. Please do not blame yourself for this tragedy. The feeling you had was so real as was when you felt that he was alright he was. He came to let you know that he was safe. I will pray for you and your family to find peace. I will pray for Zerek❤

This! It’s not about getting high. It’s about getting through another day. When people have mental illness that’s not being managed well by professionals, or chronic pain, or trauma that has not been addressed, they are often in a state of chemical imbalance. When they try something that seems to restore that balance, temporarily, the survival center of the brain (midbrain) records it as a very important experience, and signals us to repeat that action. It doesn’t matter if that is using drugs, or taking a medication prescribed by a doctor. That area of the brain can’t make those distinctions. is just trying to ensure that the person has enough dopamine to function, so they can survive. If a person is well, and they try a drug for the first time, it’s not recorded as that important to repeat, because they are already fine. Most people who become addicted are self-medicating, not having a party every day. Some normal , healthy people often think of addiction as gluttony or hedonism. For them, drinking or using drugs is an excess, because they already have a healthy, well-functioning brain, so they take that for granted, but mental illness (or physical injury and pain, leading to secondary depression) can happen to anyone, at any time. For people who are hurting, self -medicating with drugs is just a way of feeling more normal, like you said. People with active substance use disorders are dopamine deficient, without the substance their body has come to depend on. People don’t always know that dopamine is not just a pleasure chemical. No one could get out of bed in the morning, or go to school or work to survive, without it. When people with addictions stop using the substance, they not only have to go through withdrawal, but the unbearable depression and bone crushing fatigue of low dopamine. The more we learn about addiction, the more we come to understand that people who suffer from it didn’t do anything to ask for their problems. They were just trying to feel better, like healthy people, so they can survive in this world. They didn’t want to become addicted, and they don’t want to die. We need to understand this, because only when we understand a problem can we help to fix it, so tragedies like this don’t keep happening. It’s heartbreaking 💔.

How many told you to ignore your mama heart: doctors said keep your son on the drugs that drove him out of his mind, husband told you not to bother your son, ‘let em sleep’ but you KNOW your son. You knew when you were at work. You are an inspiration and a force for good. May your story be heard! ❤️

I'm really glad this Mum said, "I think he probably knew it had fentynal in it" because once you've taken drugs, experienced the high, if someone says it might have fent etc in it, a lot of us will still take it! The want of that high takes over rational thinking, sadly. I'm sorry to this Mum. 😔 she is clearly a fantastic Mum. ❤

Please, Mommy, don't blame yourself. I am sober 12 yrs from opiates and also dx with bipolar 2 disorder. When I was in the grips of despair, the only thing that made me feel normal was opiates. It took all the pain away. Morphine was actually one of the first antidepressants used. The only reason I'm here is because I missed this fentanyl poisoning epidemic. I didn't want to die,I just wanted relief. This is murder now. Not overdosing. This is the fault of our government, law enforcement doing nothing and greedy dealers. It's not your fault at all. I'm sending you my love and hugs.

You were a wonderful mom I can tell and losing your son is just horrible, the worst thing that can happen to a parent. I am so sorry and also Zerek sounds like such a loving and carong son the way he gave you hugs and such and asking you if he could do chores. My heart is breaking for you and your husband and bless you both for bing good parents for Zerek.

One thing that is also so painful for those going through mental struggles and attempts to cope anyway possible is the guilt felt when one has an episode or bursts of frustration.

Mental illness is extremely cruel.It hides itself very well. I want to appeal to all the parents & young voters in America to fight for better Mental healthcare for all Americans. This is clearly a huge issue that requires urgent addressing. Unfortunately, Fentanyl & other very harmful drugs will continue to circulate in America for many many years to come. If our young people's Mental health is well taken care of, they WILL be able to fight for their lives better.They WILL be able to resist temptation to get these harmful substances better. A stronger mental state will help them make good choices. Sending you & your family ❤

I lost a self medicating schizophrenic son to fentanyl. The difference is, my son refused treatment, he didn't think he had a problem. You are blessed to have been able to partner with your son, you did an amazing job. I wish I wasn't so harsh on my son. All I saw was an addict in my son. My son was diagnosed at 27, died at 31. Looking back, he may have had his first psychotic break at 16, I thought it was the drugs, it was mental illness. You are blessed to have partnered with him. Please don't blame yourself. There is so much we don't know about mental illness. Many mentally ill people self medicate. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending my condolences.

He was so young !! but Mummy you did everything possible to help your son and you loved him so much You are not to blame It’s the people making these drugs knowing what’s in them are to blame This pill wasn’t what Zarek wanted It was something to help with what was going on in his precious head !! It’s these awful awful monsters who are to blame !! My heart breaks for your family especially you Mummy It leaves a large shocking hole in your life ! My brother died suddenly from alcoholism There’s nothing more shocking than a suddenly death out of the blue I was just left reeling Thank goodness my parent’s were in Heaven they couldn’t have coped with this pain of seeing their son with what he looked like at the end My heart is completely broken Our young son is 23yrs old He is just a little child because of his disabilities ! It was so difficult when he was born because of the blame game that goes on in your head but now I’m so glad he’s safe because these drugs are everywhere You have no idea how much I just want to reach into the screen and hug you Mama because you are the most beautiful human being I’m so so sorry for the loss off Zarek but you my dear Mother are the best of Mother’s in this world 🌍 God bless you xox

It's not your fault, and if you don't know that, I pray for you, that you get to a point where you know that. You saved him so many times, but like you said, you can't always be there. I can only try to imagine the pain that you're going through, but we all know, until we're walking in your shoes, all we can really do is try to imagine. This is every parents worst nightmare come to life. I truly pray that the Lord touches you and guides you with his grace, and that someday, you're able to find real joy in your life again. When my mother died, it took literally years for me not to think about her without my heart feeling like it was going to beat out of my chest. So, I know this is not going to happen for you overnight, but, I do pray that a day does come, where you can look back at the memories with a feeling of being blessed that you have them. No parent should ever have to bury their child. Godspeed to you and thank you for sharing your son with us all.

Zarek’s mom tried her best, and Zarek wasn’t her only child. She was doing what she could do.

I am so proud of you mama, I didnt know tiny for long, but he really helped me get through the 1 month of our suspension school. I wish I had more time with him, he told me he was trying to push me away, and I let him. I'm so sorry Tiny. We have all failed you. Your mama loves you, we all do.

I’m so sorry for your loss and your pain Martha. After hearing his story, I wonder how much those medications played a role in his passing. SSRI’s can mess with some people’s brains so much that they become suicidal, I speak from experience. It was only after I discontinued the use of those SSRIs that I was taking that those extreme suicidal ideations went away. My love to your family

Mama, the pain you are feeling must be unbearable. I wish something could be done to curb the incoming supply of fentanyl. It's off the charts. Also, I hope one day, this country will see the critical nature of treating mental health issues amongst teens and young adults. BTW: Your son was super-cute ❤ actually quite beautiful. But I'm sure you know this. Rest Easy, Zarek 😔🩵

God bless all this families. Is a difficult situation to live in. My heart goes to the kids that get trapped in drugs, and to the families that suffer with them. For the people that sell this poison they deserve to be in hell.

I am very sorry for the loss. I do think though that all the warning signs were blaring in front of his parents. Whatever they could have done, they should have done🙏

i've seen enough of these stories to know there is nothing anyone else can do because people will do exactly what they want. He would've told Mom and Dad what they wanted to hear, but still have purchased and taken this pill at some point in time.

As Tiny's friend, you are very wrong. I didnt know him long, but I knew him long enough to know he hid how he felt. He acted happy and then angry. He never seemed sad, he was just angry sometimes. Which is pretty normal considering his mental illnesses. The truth is you cannot prevent someone from using. Nobody could prevent me when I was addicted, I always found a way. Please do not come into this comment section to tell Tiny's mama that she could've done better, it is disrespectful because she is a loving caring sweet beautiful mother who cares very much for her son. She dedicates her whole instagram profile to him, we all reach out to her because we know she needs to know she didnt mess up, she didnt fail, there was nothing more she could do. When you're addicted, that substance is all you crave, its like when youre thirsty and your mouth gets dry and you just cant stop thinking about water and drinking and the coldness of it going down your throat. Its the exact same thing with drugs, you just cant and will never understand because you havent been there. Have a good day.

So so sad. The meds they push onto people my age and younger have the worst side effects. I pray he’s at peace now and you didn’t fail him mom and dad 💐
