Struggling with drugs depression anxiety alcoholism anything would help right now

Hey Kyle! Glad you’re here!! You are in the right place. Sounds like you’re in a nasty vicious cycle. The depression and anxiety are going to take some time to get “under control”. The alcohol and drugs that once used to keep these “under control” basically stopped working, and are only making things worse. I suggest that today you focus on not drinking or drugging no matter what. You probably feel as if you haven’t had a choice, but today can be the day you take that choice back. Grab onto whatever help you need. Share on here, go to a meeting, listen to some sobriety podcasts, etc. Do whatever it takes to not pick up today. The depression and anxiety may get intense because you have nothing to numb yourself, but you can learn to hang in there and let those feelings pass. They are temporary and will pass. The point is just because you don’t drink or drug, don’t expect it to go away. In fact, expect it and prepare to get thru it. Practice this on a day at a time basis for the next little while. I suggest getting plugged into a recovery program. For the majority of us this is extremely helpful. AA/NA are the most popular, but there are several other options as well. Wishing you well my friend
