Hi, all, I'm new here. I have depression and agoraphobia with panic disorder, I've been in therapy for almost two years, and I'm currently taking low doses of Prozac and Klonopin. Ever since I've been put on Medicaid I haven't been able to find new doctors who accept it, so I don't always take my meds as often as I should. But the reason I'm posting here is mostly because I'm scared, I guess, and I thought maybe someone here knows how I feel. Apart from my mental illnesses (I think), I have chronic pain in my feet which doctors haven't been able to identify yet, and the fear that pain creates in me makes it even worse. My mom has back problems and I often sneak Vicodin or Percocet from her to make myself feel calm so I won't hurt or worry about hurting. I want to tell my therapist that I do this but I'm really scared that she'll want me taken off medications or tell me I'm addicted to painkillers or something. Has anyone here gone through something like this? If so, please speak up. Thank you.
