Self Medicating
Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but it's related to depression.
I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a pre-teen.
About a year and a half I moved out on my own to go to grad school. Long story short, the program gave me a run for my money, I was away from my family and friends for the first time ever, and I started drinking heavily (nightly).
I'm on Prozac and Wellbutrin, so I absolutely should not be drinking.
Fortunately, it's gotten better, but its still an issue. I'm not physically addicted, but I know I have a mental and emotional dependency on it.
I've gained about 15-20 pounds as a result of this.
The thing is that I'm home alone most of the time. I can't really be away from home a lot because of other issues in my life.
Has anyone experienced this?
