I have no addictions presently. I used to and I've been unhappy (excluding when high) for a long time. I function OK but I feel so empty and it makes me crave being drunk or on a lot of Valium, on E, whatever. I'm just a self-medicator I guess. I don't need to be addicted to alcohol or drugs to crave them because when you're unhappy it's like you crave anything that will take it away. I don't use compulsively, these feelings just worry me. Needing to escape so bad. Honestly, do you [feel the need to] self-medicate? Answer anonymous if you're uncomfortable admitting it openly.

I feel a lot better today. : ) Rickenbacker Posted at 2:39 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 I medicate with medicine prescribed to me which many use recreationally, if that makes sense. paperskyx Posted at 4:46 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Ugh, no.

I did mean intoxicating drugs but people do self-medicate with tobacco. It's proven that unhappy people smoke more cigarettes. When I used to smoke cigarettes were comforting. Like a hug or something. it is comforting now it just makes me feel a million times worse even sometimes brings tears to me because i dont want to anymore due to i got a new life starting next month YeahBoii Posted at 4:12 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from effyouseakay at 6:40 am on Sep. 22, 2008 I don't.
