It doesn't offend me... not much does.
Self medicating.. hm... well, I won't go in to huge details regarding my own versions... I'm the first to say that it's not always right. Especially for me because I don't always do it in healthy ways. I've about given up on trying to talk to my doctor about it because it doesn't seem to matter what I have to say, she believes that everything that is wrong with me is because I smoke. She's gotten pretty nasty about it the last few times I've gone to see her.For myself, self medicating includes changing the dosage of my meds, drinking, work, and sleeping. Usually I can make myself forget I have a problem with depression. For awhile anyway.
I don't condone it, but until I kick myself in the ass again and start taking meds and seeing a therapist, I'll probably keep doing it.
Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for.> I hope this doesn't offend you, but I was wondering about your self medication. I've been trying to find more information on this topic, I've been doing it off and on since I was in college. If you don't mind, could you tell me a bit more about your experience with this?
> Thank you so much. . .
