I realised that talking to people doesn;t help much. What i really want is someone who i can hug and cry on and who would hug me back without being all stressy about it...

...that was my realisation. Other than that, do any of you use drugs to get away from everything??
I take poppers and get out of my head on alcohol and sometimes get stoned. Only, if i do poppers, i have to take them every 5 minutes for it to do anything.

I'm just wondering if anyone is the same on the "drugs as coping mechanisms" thing??

Wow, rather short post. Yay. xxx

Why on earth would you want to do that? Are you on a doctor's prescription for anything? If you are, this could be VERY dangerous.

I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict ~ and trying to "escape" from everything is gonna lead you to stronger stuff. You'd better stop now before you get into trouble ~ believe me, I know what I'm talking about. You'll say "Oh I know what I'm doing" ~~ I'd NEVER take anything stronger." HA!!! That's what everyone says -- and they end up stoned on something MUCH worse than poppers!!!

Stop now before you REALLY get into trouble where you can't QUIT. I've been there and done that. You're on the road to hell.
Thanks for this!

Gentle hugs to you.

Lee is wise, and correct. Unfortunately, going to the bottle, pills, or pipe is never the best solution to our misery. It only complicates our lives even more than before. It gives people more reason to avoid us, only making us even lonelier than before.

I have been there and done that myself many times. Just last night at that! It is a never-ending battle to get out of the cycle of hurt.

No, you aren't alone at all. There are lots of resources out there for drug & alcohol support. In my opinion, using is always more complicated than a person just needing to get off the bottle (or whatever). There is always pain inside that people are trying to avoid. It's just a matter of time before the cause of those pains is revealed. (In my humble opinion, anyway.)

Gentle hugs to you.

....that would be my question, too. Also, not afraid to admit I take Xanax not only for anxiety but just for stress in general, when I feel overwhelmed.
