Hi,

I’m an alcoholic and suffer from bipolar depression. The depression has gotten worse over the last several years. I have never taken medication for it.

I realize it’s a cycle. I often get sober for months, and then see no reason to get help for drinking, as I’m much more positive, active, and accomplish a lot. But inevitably it falls apart again.

I would like to talk to my doctor about treatment. I’m mainly interested in trying out some medication for depression and doing therapy.

But I fear that if I tell my doctor that I’m an alcoholic, it will “stigmatize” me (end up on my record for life.

I want to support others going through depression and anxiety disorder. I’m willing to give the first 20 people to share their story $300. We are ONE and One is stronger than half

I live in New Orleans btw. Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Holmes

    I’m so glad you came here for help! This support group has been super helpful for me. I hope you can find the help you need with your depression. I actually struggle with that, too, that’s one of the reasons I came here. Good luck;)
