turning to drinking

[Gem-Louise]

so im turning to drinking to try and make everything better...ive become so depressed ,soon as I wake up in the morning I go to the fridge and drink alcohol ,yeah I no that alcohol makes things worse but I cant stop I cant remember the last time I went a full day without drinking....its getting out of hand to the point were its getting me in trouble ,I got arrested for being a public nuisance ,ive been getting drunk and drinking my thoughts away and when my drink is all gone I literally start crying needing more .I need to get a ****ing grip but I cant seem to do it ...im not being responsible at all just feel like I don't care anymore what happens to me

It sounds like your drinking to escape the way your feeling. However when your finished drinking the feelings will still be there. The drink may be temporarily masking the way your feeling but from what you've already experienced this is only making other areas of your life difficult. If drinking is something that you want to stop do you think you could talk to your treating team? That way you have some extra support. Take care

Like Kat says, the drinking might make things go away for a little while, but they don't fix the problem. What's making you drink?
