Thanks all! Dark place your story did ring a bell with me too. I used to think I was "highly functioning" but don't make that distinction any more. All my issues have been alcohol related.. The anxiety and depression go hand in hand. Congrats on talking to your family,big step but definitely the right one. It's the support here I'm struggling with. My family are back in Ireland and my partner and I have had issues for a while but when I told him about my drinking (big step for me) it's like he didn't know what to do with the information and just doesn't know how to help. I'm hoping SR can help me. From what I've read people have amazing stories and advice here
G'day OverIt
) brissy certainly is a beautiful place. I feel lucky to live here, and get so angry with myself sometimes for closing the blinds, throwing on the air con and drinking all day instead of being out enjoying life in the sunshine! I'm working on it tho, haven't made a plan yet, but happy to have finally joined SR!
