You're lucky you have a job. I'm on LTD for depression. Thanks to my company's policy, after 4 months of being off work (3 months were short term), they re-fill your position. So, I don't think I'll be cured in that time frame, so bye-bye job. I'm too sick to get a job anywhere else, and have no confidence, spirit, etc, to interview anywhere else. I'm screwed, as is my family now.

Anyway, this is about you, not me. I never did drugs. Always too afraid of them, and afraid of losing control. I drink rarely, but since I'm on maoi's, drinking makes me feel horrible, phsysically and mentally.

I'd check into rehab somewhere and get your life back together. At least your job can't fire you if you do rehab.

This is not casual use, this is addiction. So I'm panicking now thinking, ugh, I've become one of those stories, one of those sad cases people frown upon, and it's making me so sad.
