Yes. I drink to numb the depression and calm the anxiety but drinking actually makes anxiety symptoms worse afterwards. I just do it for those fleeting calm moments. For some reason I choose self-destructive ways of coping. I'm gonna try to sign up for DC medicaid again tomorrow so hopefully I can get back to therapy and taking my meds, maybe even rehab if necessary. Thanks for your support, I really do appreciate it.
