I have on occasion had an impulsive moment where I downed sedatives to knock me out. I did share this because my doctor is also my therapist. He didn't show signs of anger or concern but he did prescribe something safer that I couldn't abuse. And he limited the number of refills so that I regularly have to check in with him to get it called in. That way it is monitored. But as I said, this was impulsive during a time of unusual stress, which I don't do anymore. I do think this is actually pretty common so I wouldn't make it worse for feeling bad about it. We are all doing the best we can.
