I don't know what happened in your past with what you might consider to be drug-abuse, but self-medication is often a symptom of mental illness and is understood to be so by a competent psychiatrist. Perhaps you or your doctor could approach your mother with these facts. It might give her some insight into why you behaved as you did.
By the way, I think you are bipolar. You might have comorbid ADD, but I see bipolar disorder as the explanation for some of your expansive writings on Psycho-Babble, and is very likely the driving force behind your self-medication and erratic behavior.
