using sedatives
Posted: 05-24-08 00:22am

Hi everyone,

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 Smile

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 Smile
