I think, without therapy, it's way too easy to choose self-destructive ways of coping. I've been struggling to get into a regular schedule with a therapist, and have only been able to get 2 appointments with a psychiatrist (who was terrible anyway). I always choose the self-destructive ways of coping, especially using drugs.
Hope you can find some relief soon.
