Ice wolf,
In reading your post several things stood out at me.

My life is in a transitional phase, I'm trying to get back to work so I can find an apartment and undergo a trial seperation with my long-suffering wife.
|
Transitional times are times of stress which tend to aggrevate any mental illness.

Basically I need to get my **** together so the marraige will work again,

Have you considered getting it together for you rather than trying to get it together for something that may or may not happen?

I'm a depressed alcoholic with anxeity/panic disorder.

I too am a recovering alcoholic, with a chronic anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar type II and PTSD. The combination of these illnesses can be quite trying at times.

Currrently I'm hearing voices and music. I'm tempted to take some sleeping pills toend it or make the voices stop. About 12 days ago I fell off the wagon and also took enough sleeping pills to make me groggy and break my glasses but not enough to kill me.
Part of what the voices are telling me now is that the pills can be a gateway between worlds, but I know it's a one-way door and don't want to cross over. I am sorely tempted though.

The voices you refer to here concern me. Having spent 20 years in the medical field my experience says that it would be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor as during times of stress mental illnesses can get worse or tend to show themselves. Hearing voices can be a sign of Schizophrenia. Which is a treatable illness. But it is one that is best caught early.

Anyway should I just try to ride this out and continue with my plans or should I go back to the wacky shack tomorrow? I'm also depressed and not eating/showering/changing clothes.

The not showering/eating/changing clothes concerns me. Please go see your doctor and be as honest with him/her as you were here. In fact you might print out a copy of this thread and show it to him. It might say it better than if you try to speak it.
Good luck. I do hope you find a solution. Please post soon and let us know how you are doing.
