Long time no see. I seem to have fallen into a giant hole of despair. My meds weren't getting me through the stress and anxiety, so I started self-medicating. A week went by and I talked to my therapist. She urged me to tell my shrink. It was hard, but I did. He gave me a lecture on street drugs and bumped up the dosage of my meds. I've been sober for about 16 hours. That's where I am.
I can't believe I was able to talk to both my therapist and pdoc about it. I guess when you hit rock bottom, it doesn't really matter to you anymore.

I'm glad you were able to reach out.
Please keep taking care of yourself...take it one hour, one minute at a time. Be gentle with yourself.
Peace to you,

you are always welcomed here. I used to self medicate but it only made things worse and my problems were not only still there when I came down but then I had even more. Stay clean- it can only get better (I know its not easy, believe me i know).
