I Battle Depression

I have been depressed since a young girl, but I was officially diagnosed  by a psychiatrist near the beginning of last year. Anyways one of my primary doctors had given me pills for my anxiety/insomnia and they are these sleeping type pills. My depression as restarted again due to a car accident that I have recently got into, and I am even scared to drive on the road I used to love driving and now I hate it .  I also have to live with the person who physically and verbally abused me and I have to live with their boyfriend too which is great. Anyways I have been chugging these pill a lot about over 3 or 4 a day to "numb" myself, and I have also been drinking alcohol and I hate alcohol as a way to numb myself.  I know this sounds somewhat dark but this is the situation I have been dealing with. I guess you can say what I am doing is drug abuse but I am not sure it qualifies like that.  But I have transitioned from cutting to taking a lot of amount of pills and I take around 3 at once, and it also helps sedating me so I do not have to deal with any of the stuff going around me .

Any chance you could see a therapist? You sound like you could use some support

@SW-User Yes I have seen around 3 or maybe more therapist/counselors. I am actually going to be going to a rehab clinic tomorrow as a inpatient

Alcohol usually interferes with depression meds. Might be worth cutting back on one or the other. Sorry to hear about your situation and the car crash.

@Mikemcneil Thank you but I actually don't really like alcohol I mainly buy it when I do want to be numbed. I haven't bought alcohol in a while

That's probably a good thing. I can never get drunk when I really need to
