After many failed attempts at trying to stay sober I joined AA and NA in 1988, after 3 years
of misery and a suicide attempt I admitted myself into a Veterans Hospital and was diagnosed with depression. I have been in and out of treatment for the last 18 years. Last year I was hit with a major episode combination of anxiety and depression, and that is when I found and joined SR. It started to make some sense of what was happening to me thanks to the help of the contributors of the mental health and the Spirituality forums, and after a few try's a good Pdoc who understood both Alcoholism and Mental Health.
It has been a slow process, with many try's at different meds. and combination's of meds. It sometimes becomes very frustrating with all the trials to find something that works for everything, but there has been progress, It just seems like it isn't helping fast enough, but I am extremely thankful and grateful that I am no longer suffering in the mental anguish that I was existing in. before I found the help I needed.
A couple weeks ago I had another major recurrence of anxiety that confused me and exaggerated even more a difficult situation that I had to use every bit of both prayer and willpower I could muster up to accomplish. The problem was with a medication, and I want to bring attention to it in another thread.
