i wondered if anyone here has had issues with self medicating and managed to overcome it without outside help. personally, group meetings where people cry over their problems are my idea of hell and i will never be a part of one. i don't have a big problem, it's not the first thing on my mind when i wake up but i spend a lot of money on it and maybe should cut down but it's hard and my selfcontrol fails me. i don't get out of hand (anymore) and my mum doesnt seem to think its a problem and my friends seem to find it funny i guess. the only people who have said it is a problem are the doctors and nurses i have seen recently but i reckon it's just someting they say to people with mental problems. my meds make me lazy and i really don't have it in me to switch to something like exercise. i guess i'm just looking for an easy way out (cut to rocky IV music)
