Hello cryingontheinside: I'm sorry you are feeling such despair. I would simply like to send some warm thoughts your way with the hope that somehow you might find deep inner peace...

Hi crying. I am sorry you have so much pain that you want to self medicate. It is a natural impulse to want to lessen pain, but there are other ways beside self medicating.

Do you have a psychiatric doctor that you could explain your situation to? With the psych doc, there could be ways to get a more balance medication combo that treats your symptoms and helps you wean yourself off self medicating. Check with your psych doc which self medicating drugs might react with the prescribed meds from the pdoc.

Glad you are joining us here. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

Well it sounds like the drugs you're using aren't doing the trick.

Have you ever been in the hospital ? You might get off what you're on and get some other drugs that can help to make you feel better.

If you are taking recreational drugs, does that mean you are not taking anti depressants? Can you go with the anti depressants?

i am dealing with alot of those problems too... not sure if it would be a good idea for you to talk to me about it because i dont want to make you feel worse...
but if you do want to talk to me abot it you can pm me - just if i say something stupid then know it wasn't intentional, my mind is just running on fumes...

i have always self medicated.... it helps a little in the beginning but it just turns into a cycle that just makes you feel worse in the end you know...
not trying to condemn you are say you are a bad bad bad person - because im pretty bad
so yeah... if you wanna discuss a little i would be glad to take a PM...
maybe i can tell you about my experiences, you can compare them to yourse...
dunno if it would help, but atleast you know you arent alone....

alot of us do those things to try to cope... you're not alone cryingontheinside
