Another question - how have you dealt with the shame of admitting to a doctor that you're not okay? I don't even tell my psychiatrist (i go to therapy for depression and anxiety) how much I actually drink and I don't have a regular physician or doctor and my insurance is crap. I would have no idea what to say and I feel very nervous about this. Should I go to a regular doctor, or should I ask my psychiatrist?
Sobered up this evening after finishing that vodka - I've had one beer since then and I'm already practically crawling out of my skin with insomnia.
