Hi everyone. I haven't been using good coping skills for dealing with my emotions. I have been isolating myself in my house drinking and using so that I don't have to feel the negative emotions that surround me. I am Bipolar as well being an alcoholic and addict. I have gotten really bad in these last 2 months, I made some very bad financial transactions that I shouldn't have and now I am in over my head. My anxiety is to the top. So I drink and use so I don't have to think about the consequences of my behavior. That in itself doesn't even make sense. It only makes matter worse. I tried talking to my therapist about my situation and didn't get good results from her. The Mental Health Clinic where I go doesn't have a doctor working at the time in the clinic. I haven't seen a Psychiatrist for almost a year now and they haven't hired a new one. They told me to go to my primary care doctor to get refills on my Psych meds. I did do that and he did refill them for me. But I don't feel I am getting the proper treatment I need right now. Just yesterday I over dosed on Meth. I had to go to the hospital. I need help but I feel stuck. I am not even which help to seek first. I could use a detox I know. I also think I need to be in the mental Hospital. Any feedback or suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.
