Q: using sedatives

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

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
