Octomom Dishes On Addiction, Panic Attacks, And Rehab
November 08, 2012 04:00 PM by Lisa Princ
When the news broke that Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, was entering rehab, some people were relieved, while others were left wondering if this was just another ploy for attention. In a new interview, Octomom shared some of her struggles, and dished about heading to rehab!
News of Octomom entering rehab, for an alleged addiction to Xanax, did not come as a huge surprise to most. While some have been speculating that Nadya actually suffers from a severe psychological disorder, Octomom says she did indeed have an addiction, and that is why she decided to seek help.
Just a few days before Octo entered rehab, she sat down for an interview with In Touch Magazine, where she shared her struggles with panic attacks. “I wake up at 5 every morning and take a five-minute shower,” she said, before admitting that she only sleeps a few hours per night. Nadya then went on to add: “I do the cooking for the next day in the middle of the night. It’s been exhausting.”
Just taking care of 14 kids must be exhausting, and Octomom has been plagued by financial woes as well, leading her take on whatever jobs she can. “I just do as much as I can to survive and generate as much revenue as I can,” she went on to reveal, as her reasoning for doing porn, stripping, etc.
And while Octomom may not be proud of things she has done for money, one thing she is proud of is that she took the first step to overcome her addiction. Nadya issued the following statement recently about her stint in rehab: “I chose to seek treatment for my recent use of Xanax, which was prescribed by my physician for panic attacks. I am working in therapy every day regarding the origin of these attacks so as not to have to rely on medications to handle it.”
Do you think Octomom actually has a drug addiction? Or does it matter, as long as she’s seeking treatment for her problems and leaving her kids in good hands? Share your opinion in the comments section below!

It is disgusting everything is about …Her… and not the children. She is shopping for a dumb sucker who hasn’t kept up with how those kids have been treated. Only one millionair sucker with a few bucks is all she needs.
I have nothing but contempt for anything called a rehab that lets her run around like she does. Same goes for child services. She has exposed what a joke both are.
Does anyone remember or care about the children? So far…not!

You know I just don’t buy this self sacrificing, I do everything for my kids, I don’t sleep, I gave up my bed etc., crap that comes out of her mouth. I don’t believe she would turn down an opportunity for a reality show but says she would only because no one really wants to see her. She is a lot like Kate Gosselin in the fact that everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie to try and make herself look better or more likeable. She is mentally ill and how she has kept her kids is beyond me. Whatever happened to her finishing her degree and how did she go from becoming someone with a PH.D to someone who wants to teach aerobics? She has called every show on t.v. from Dr. Phil to Dr. Drew, Oprah etc., spewing her belief system and stories with the hope that at the end of a show she will be gifted with money to help with her mortgages or food or whatever and so far outside of Dr. Drew getting her a maid service she has not faired to well.

It would make a lot of sense to me if she is in fact an addict. Addicts use drugs or anything mind or mood altering to make them feel better about themselves, or to “take them out of themselves.” She had all those babies because she thought they would “fix” her. There is definitely something missing within her. She is not happy with herself and that is what she needs to work on before she can ever be a good, nurturing mother to those children. Addicts don’t love themselves. If this is true, how can she love her children if she doesn’t love herself? I hope she gets the help she needs, learns a new way to live, and becomes a productive member of society instead of making a spectacle of herself for the tabloids. Like all addicts, she is guilty of attention seeking behavior. There is nothing shameful about being an addict as long as the person gets help. Recovery is possible and they can go on to lead good, productive lives. She MUST get involved in recovery for herself and to give her children the life they deserve.

Just a woman trying to make herself rich through reality TV. She ended up being a dependent on social services. Seriously….what was she thinking, or should I say NOT thinking. I feel bad for the kids she littered the state of California with. Hopefully these kids will be an asset to California. SELFISH woman that’s all she is.

I have been a single mother to 2 children and it is HARD.
I DO not agree that she had so many children but it seems she is making the best of it. It was the hardest thing I ever did and absolutely exhausting. Please give her more respect
