I was wondering if someone could please help me. I am dealing with an abusive BF who I believe is abusing again, as his behavior is odd. I do not understand it, but it is hurting me too much and I have to get away from him as it is making me very depressed and anxious. I know he is an addict and an alcoholic, but I cannot help him, as I have tried. I just need to know if behaviors such as disappearing for hours and then not showing up, anger, lack of caring about others feelings, irresponsiblility, asking for money a lot, lying, etc. Does this mean drug use again? He always sounds very drugged, then he stays up always late and then sleeps in the day. He was taking antidepressants, but stopped. He a lso has a habit of taking pain meds with alcohol and going to the hospital to get them. The last time he went there, he told me they would not help him. I told him because they know he is addicted and he got very mad. He keeps saying he can control his drug use, and he is not like other addicts. This is very odd as he is 58 years old. He tries to keep me up and I just cannot deal with this behavior. I just had the worst, most hurtful run in and now my depression is back. He has a long history of cocaine and alcohol abuse, jail etc. He has been to detox, but always refuses the jail programs, gets angry when I bring up a problem. I know I am supposed to help him, but it makes me sick and very anxious, as he is abusive. He borrowed some money from me recently and I asked it for it back and he was out somewhere and would not specify and said he would bring it to me when he could. Earlier he had told me he would be at my house at 4 p.m. He then yells at me for being angry. Is it me or this crazy behavior? I am concerned. I suffer from depression and have to stay away from this as he triggers me. I realize he has a disease, but he will not listen to anyone. Thanks for any advice.

I've been smoking pot everyday for two years and am trying to quit for good. I am on day 2 and am having a difficult time. I can't sleep, I'm very anxious, I am cold then hot, I'm having terrible stomach aches. Is there anything I can take to help me relax and sleep?

Hello everyone. I am a 35 year old female. I have two sons, one is 16 and other is 7. I am a drug addict that is trying to make my life better so I can be a better person and a better mother. I also suffer from some mental illness issues. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, anxiety attacks, and I am a cutter.

I am lost inside and even though on the surface everyone thinks I have it together, i dont, I have let 20 plus years of "having fun" turn into a horrible addiction to powder cocaine which has evolved into a massive crack habit and I dont what to do or who to talk to,,

I'm new and diagnosed with Bipolar II and have meth addiction for about 3 years. I have stopped before and took my meds only but in the end I stopped my meth. Meth makes me get out of the depression episode I seem to stay in and the medication actually make me feel more dull. Does anyone have advice or the belief that People with mental illness only use drug to self medicate or was I a drug addict first? I know life is a little better clean but i feel depressed on the medication and off when not getting high.

I've am a recovering addict (NA) for 5 years now and I am now a 4.0 student studying psychology with ultimate goal of opening a rehabilitation facility in the future. I have found through a 3 year journey of hospital stays and 4 hour long therapy sessions, my academic endeavors, and I hope my intellect that I have a very strong grasp on the utilities needed to offer a proper insight and an encouraging fact to those who struggle with addiction also.

Hi everyone. I'm here because people I care about in my life have dealt with alcoholism, but also because I can sometimes become dependent on alcohol too. I primarily struggle with BPD but occasionally I will abuse alcohol to deal with my BPD. My boyfriend is a full blown alcoholic and so was my father.
Substance abuse is something I'm very familiar with in life and I'm grappling with it right now. As my depression worsens with time it's becoming more and more tempting to drink away many of my problems. I am sad to admit that I do this sometimes without understanding why, but I am going to therapy to try to stop escaping my problems through vices...Before it was an eating disorder; now it's this. I hope we can all find support with one another here when we need each other. Luckily alcohol isn't a daily issue for me so much as a circumstantial/secondary one, but I want to help others here with the same issues as well. __________________ "Health is the greatest possession.
