hello folks. Let me start off by saying, I'm 20 years old, and ever since i was 7 years old I've known there was something "wrong" with my head - pertaining to mental illness. I have a good idea on what that is now, My mom was a severe bipolar and had to have electro shock therapy, her father was a severe bipolar and alcoholic as well.

I beleive, no.. I KNOW it has been passed onto me. Ever since the age of 12 i've dedicated a lot of my spare time in researching mental illnesses.. to try and figure out what the Fuck is wrong with my head. Now, at the age of 20, i know basically everything, from illness to personality disorder.

for the past, oh.. lets say.. week... I have been Severely depressed. I am no stranger to depression, i've felt it ever since i can remember, but this is something else. And it's for no reason at all. several weeks ago I was in the sky ejoying life, narcissistic and grandiose, thinking i was the next billionaire or celebrity for some weird reason! but a week ago I stole a good amount of alcohol from the place i did community service at, and for the past week and a half i have been drinking myself down to my lowest point, until I am one with melancholy.. until I can actually stand it's presence, and I ENJOY the pain when I get this drunk.

well, i'm running out of alcohol (about 1 litre of liquor a day?) and the real world calls, but i just don't have ambition to get the fuck out of my bed anymore. I wouldn't be able to type this if i wasn't drunk. I wouldn't be able to do a lot of things if i wasn't drunk, like find the energy to clean the house and walk the dog. If i hadn't been drinking, i'd be sitting in my bed all day long and depression would be actual pain.. not a feel good pain.

I've contemplated on going to a psychiatrist many times (went to one steadily middle school-high school) to get treatment, but when I get so close to getting help, there is something in me that just does a complete 180 and runs away! and that pertains to everything too! everything that I have going good for myself, that i can handle and maintain, I just DESTROY for some unanswerable reason, I just can't help it, I can never finish anything I start, and I never hold onto anything I need.
 
I know how you feel mate. You posted on my thread so I think you know your not alone. The road to recovery is a long one but some where deep down you know you have to walk it no matter how long and treacherous it is. I also think deep down alcohol is not the answer, drugs are not the answer. The last few weeks I thought I was on the right road to recovery and it felt amazing. I got the courage to start meds consider seeing a doctor I got a HD on my first exam at uni and i joined the gym. The road turned out to be a dead end. But you know what? I'm going to try a different street until I find my pot of gold and my 1000 virgins. You know you have the strength to push through this pile of shit we call life and find your pot of gold. I just hope you don't suffer to much more in the process, good luck my friend an stay strong.
