Thanks for all the advice. I do feel better after I sleep, and I am forcing myself to go out inspite of my averson. I think part of it is that I have taught in a nearby school district for so many years that this town is populated with my old students and their families. I know that I will undoubtedly run into them, maybe have to face questions or looks or maybe it's my imagination. Anyway, I will start school in 3 weeks so I will have to face it then. It's probably more of my own paranoia than anything. I am not afraid to admit my son has a drug problem. It's just so hard to deal with the thought that it was in the paper and that it is public knowledge. Anyway, I will keep on top of my symptoms and go to visit a doctor if necessary.
