Oblivion

I dont know how to put my thoughts into coherent words or phrases..but i feel i'm at me lowest. i am 24 now, since i was 16 i've always had an addiction to pills. I was 16 when I first discovered Xanex, but i wasn't addicted. Weed was my drug of choice. When I was 20 I moved to Louisiana and had a 4 month binge of crack use. My 21st birthday my mom brought me back home and I got clean. Shortly after i wrecked my car and got arrested for a DUI. I didn't think i had a problem so i didn't go to my court ordered walden programs. I smoked weed, popped pills and drank. At 23 i was pregnant and got engaged. I'm not married but I now have a beautiful 1 year old baby boy. My fiance is a wonderful strong man, but im weak to addictions. I get prescribed celexa and colonopins for my depression, anxiety, and sleep disorder. Recently, I went on a 3 day xanex binge and got arrested yet again for a DUI, i was stealing pills from my fiance. I feel dead now. I have tried to commit suicide several times, but my fiance has always been there to save me. he's my knight in shining armor and i feel lucky, he's flushed all my medications and is helping me stay clean. but my luck is running out. I've been clean of everything for 2 days now and I don't know what is wrong with me. I can't sleep and when I do finally sleep my dreams are filled with endless realistic nightmares. I eat, but I can't keep anything down..I find myself smoking more and more cigerettes then usual. My head is filled with thoughts of just slipping into oblivion. I don't want to be like this anymore, I want to be the strong person my son and fiance deserve. I've always had self-esteem issues, my mother was always fixated on beauty and i just am not her definition of beautiful. my father has always been hard on me, because i'm the black sheep of the family. im in debt, i can't keep a job, and i just keep getting into trouble.

right now i feel stupid for even looking up support groups, posting this journal..but i need to keep my mind busy. i don't know how i got to this low point in my life and i want out. its like there is nothing i can do to make anything better. my fiance says i have post partum i may or i may not, but i know i need help soon or i'll lose everything to drugs..if any of this makes sense, i'll feel less stupid.

Hi mmd85, You are probably going through withdrawal. I suggest seeing your doctor. If you have been using xanax, that can be deadly to stop abruptly. For the prescription meds, you really shouldn't stop those without seeing your doctor first. Have you thought about going to NA http://www.na.org/ or AA http://www.aa.org/ for help and support? If you haven't, then I suggest checking those out also. It can be hard in the beginning to get sober and clean but it will get better. Keep hanging in there and taking it one day at a time. Keep sharing with us. We are here for you. ((((hugs)))
