I'm new here - just want to introduce
myself a bit. I'm 20 years old, up in
Canada, female, I've been "using" pain
pills for almost two years now (since
surgery I had) and more recently starting
using sedatives... recently my partner
found out and needless to say, she is
worried, and it has to stop. I have a
history of
depression/anxiety/self-harm/jaw problems
(requiring the initial surgery). Wow,
honesty all in one paragraph, haha. I
adore animals of kind but in particular,
dogs! I am currently studying psychology
(ironically) in university.
Anyhow, I hope to get to know you guys
around here
- J

Welcome. I hope we can provide support and
answer any questions you may have. Feel
free to jump in and ask anything. I hope
you will seek some help from a
psychiatrist for your depression. Self
medicating is dangerous. You can feel
better with the proper prescriptions.

Hello and welcome. You are not alone by
any means. There are more then one on this
board that have, still do, or will be
working in this field. Believe it or not,
our same principles do not matter much (it
seems) when it is ourselves we are dealing
with. As antigone said, I also hope you
find some answers and comfort here. You
might indeed want to consider some help
for yourself for a change.

Hi J,
My name is Tanya and I'm 21 from Toronto.
I was a pill addict before anything else
but eventually escalated to other drugs
(cocaine being the one that truly brought
me to my knees). I've been clean for over
a year now. best of luck to you
