Just wondering if anyone else here finds comfort in the bottom of a bottle, when having a really down episode,
Or does anyone drink to make them feel better, or just to get some sleep, if so whats your poison?
I don't particularly like mixing alcohol with my medication, but one bottle of beer at the weekend is alright. If I am out, and I have not for a long while; then maybe I try to reduce what I used to… read more
Someone i know told this to me TWICe its still ringing in my head . Cant release this thought out of me.
Run as far away from this person as fast as you can. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.
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
No, I hope you can join Alcoholics Anonymous, and a good doctor to help you through this journey.
Sending prayers!

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.

Last night was the scariest for me when he drove drunk and wrecked his car. He has never nor would he ever drive drunk before. Something is really wrong. His girlfriend… read more
Absolutely! Thank you
Mine is anxiety, depression, and PTSD. What other matches are out there? and what do you think the difference and the similarities are? like between someone with anxiety and depression, and someone with ODD and depression, or bipolar and depression?
I have this Bipolar I mixed state & Borderline Personality Disorder
I was thinking of printing and framing one of my photos I shot
( camera) for my doctor and the nurses in his office.
Oh yeah I forgot about my doctor's nurse,yep John and Tracy,my favorite doctor and my favorite nurse and they both work together 😜😋🤪😉
Drinking in general will usually counteract antidepressants. I don't think a drink or two once in a while would hurt but I would advise against drinking. I also notice that ever since I've been on… read more
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
Ask your doctor or therapist why you shouldn't drink alcohol! Hang tough! YOU MATTER!!!
