dear Nakka, I now understand why you can't talk to people, it's because not so much the alcohol but the drugs, because when you start to tell them their reaction wouldn't be good, but hey we need something to numb this awful feeling.
I drank alcohol while I was depressed and nobody liked it that's why I became a cupboard drinker, because if they found it they would pour it all out.
One psychologist wouldn't talk to me unless I stopped drinking, so I only saw her twice, the problem being that she didn't understand why I had to drink, so I would put her at the bottom of the list, never to be seen again.
What sort of psych was she, certainly not helpful, she was not open to any of my problems, and isn't that what are meant to do.
Any sessions should be about our depression first, not about drinking, because when we can overcome our illness then maybe the drinking will ease up, and that's what happened with me, and that's what you should say to your psych when you decide to go and see them.
The more you tell us the better idea we can get of you. L Geoff. x
