Hello i am 24 years old and i believe i am suffering from depression and my ADHD is at an all time high . I am objectifying my girlfriend when i am under the influence. When she states she not in the mood or just wants to spend quality time I become mean and aggressive to her . I am not forcing myself on her but i am treating her badly and differently . I believe i am using alcohol to avoid facing trauma or things i need to heal from. I make sex a priority/ chore when it should mutual and consensual. I am seeking help.

If you have a problem staying stopped (alcohol), AA can help. Let me know if you need to find meetings around where you live. Usually for alcoholics selfishness and self-centeredness seem to the issues. We address those by taking an inventory of our character defects and try to overcome those. A competant sponsor will be able to walk you through the 12 steps so you can have an attitude shift. So you can have a healthy relationship with people around you.

I self-medicated with alcohol for a very long time, nothing changed, and if anything...it got worse when I was drinking because alcohol is a depressant. And I'm one of the unlucky ones with 'Dual Diagnosis'. One in three people who are alcoholics also suffer from depression.
