Re: Please Can I Have Some Support?

No judging here, I think alot of us have self medicated in some way shape or form. I 've done every illegal drug you can think of and used alcohol for at least a dozen years before seeking help. You are such a kind, generous person who provides so much support for the people here. I think a lot of us are grateful to have the chance to support you at this time. Just keep swimming - you'll make it through. I don't pray very often, but I'll say one for you tonight. Thanks for all you do. Good luck, stay strong, and don't hesitate to vent if you need to.
Take care Cracked
Best wishes

I'm so sorry your having such a stressful time. It is good that you have been able to tell someone about this because now it means you can access help for this issue.

You are very brave and we are all here to support you any time.

I saw a BP psychologist today. I admitted I have a problem with using certain drugs to numb myself out to deal with things like my mood and other stuff. This is longstanding and used to be worse when I was working. She says she has to tell my psych and that we all need to have a meeting. I have a care plan meeting on Tuesday where it will be brought up and also have to have a meeting with my psych and the psychologist too. The psychologist thinks there is a fair bit of stuff to be addressed tho she did acknowledge the bits of me that cope well- but said that all of me needs supporting to get well. She also thinks I may well need more meds to stop myself from self medicating. I think that there is going to be a fair bit of upheaval as a result of admitting it and I am very worried about it all - I am also very worried about posting this as I think I may be judged but I also think that I need to get some support to get through it all. I am going to try to keep doing mod stuff the same but if on some days I am quiet I apologise. Thanks guys in advance for any support.

Hugs

She's right when she says that all of you needs supporting, and it's probably positive that she says you may well need more meds to stop self medicating. If self medicating is no longer an option, then at least she doesn't intend to leave you short!

There's no need to apologise for being quiet some days. I and many others around here will be happy to give you any support we can! :)

Big hugs!

No judgement passed! I've had similar temptations to self-medicate. It feels like it's the easy way out of the depression and numbs it for a short time. I understand. feel better and hope you get the meds adjusted right. :)
