I’m a new poster but have been a reader for a long time. I’ve had bad depression and anxiety since HS. I’ve been a heavy drinker since high school, smoked pot, used lsd, mushrooms, ecstasy, coke - until my late 20’s when I had kids. Percocet (prescribed for a messed up back and neck), multiple antidepressants, Xanax, gabapentine. Lately got my hands on some suboxone to try to get off the Percocet. Everything makes me feel horrible. I had a really bad day today. My husband used to be fun and cool and but now he’s pretty much just boring and always in a bad mood. Living on his high horse and acting like he is a saint when he was a little stupid kid when we met. I did everything for years until I had a breakdown and he had to start pitching in. But he does things his way, doesn’t give a shit about anything I say but whatever, I accept the help. I worked for 20 years until I lost my job in August.I have a hearing on 1/4 to see if I actually will get unemployment pay and there’s a chance I won’t be back paid (smh). Now I’m a stay at home mom to a 5, 9 and 11 year old. I pay $16000 a year in property taxes but I’m the essentially an unemployed unpaid teacher’s assistant. I’m also in school myself and my husband usually works 6 days a week and expects me to be a housewife along with everything else. Anyone who can relate?

While I can relate with a lot of what you said, other parts I can't. I'm a man and have no kids.
Regardless, you've reached a great resource of other people with extremely similar if not identical problems.
This might be better on The Dark Side or mental health forums but I am glad you posted.
Other people will chime in. I can give you advice on the drugs but not the other issues.

Yes, you'll get better answers in the Dark Side forum perhaps since this area is more directly about drugs and their use.
