Addiction And Depression? **PLEASE Do NOT Read If You Are Triggered By Talk Of Addiction Or Alcohol.
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know that you shouldnt medicate with alcohol and drugs. A little bit of my story is I broke my ankle when I was 14 and I was never told that I would have pain as bad as it was when I was finally able to walk. They said the pain would be light and would go away which was a lie. They had to put a metal plate and pins in. It would throb and swell four months after the surgery. Therapy did not help at all. except the part where I was able to ice it. After six months I was just so tired of the… read more

Son In Crisis

So my middle child since the age of 15 has had depression anxiety self harm and then he developed a drinking problem. He got better. He's been off his meds for three years and was doing fantastic.

Am I Just Weird???
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have found that so many people turn to drugs and alcohol when depressed or anxious. When I was in my 20's I did my share of getting drunk and loving it. But once diagnosed in 2001 I haven't' taken a drink of anything. I go to parties or out once in a while and it is ingrained in my mind that I am not supposed to mix alcohol with my medication. It is so important for me that my meds work that I would never risk it. However, others on the same types of medications seem to drink when they want… read more
