ive been living with depression since i was probably about 11 years old. i started drinking alcohol on the weekends. ive tried suicide 4 times and had anorexia about 4 years till i got pregnant. after that ive pretty much kept myself from becoming completely obsessed with keeping myself from eating. but the last time i tried suicide was the first time anyone found out. my mom found me and called 911. but when i realized how much my family and friends love me and are there for me and how selfish i was being i promised my sister it would never happen again. so now i take my depression pill everyday and do what i gotta do but i still have a substance abuse problem because drugs help me to get out of bed and do something other than lay thefre watching tv so i dont have to deal with anything. anyone know what else i can do to help my depression with the pills? they help but im not myself and im ready to stop letting myself be this person ive become.
