I need help....

I don't know what to do. I started to use meth when I was struggling with depression. It helped me but not for a long time. When I realized that I had a really strong addiction passed a lot of time (nearly 2 years). I visited support groups, but nothing could help me. Each time I stooped to use meth I felt anxiety and depression again and again. I'm really disappointed and don't know how to deal with my addiction.

My family wants me to go to rehab, but I'm afraid. Everyone will know about my problems. I can't do this. I found info about outpatient clinics addictionresource.com/drug-... which offer many therapy options similar to inpatients hospital but without an overnight stay. What can you say about such treatment? Maybe someone was treated this way...

Hello and welcome EagleJames to this caring and supportive community. We are sorry you are struggling at the moment. Have you thought about talking with your health professional about the problem and the outpatient facility you have found online. Perhaps talking with them might help you to decide what to do and which way would be the best aid for you.

Keep posting with us James and let us know what you have decided to do. Our best wishes and good luck go with you.

MAS Nurse.

Hi Folks are there any members who can give James some useful information please?

Whatever you decide, there will be organisations that may be able to help in your area you may find useful. Your GP may be able to help as well, get His report and be positive and strong and start your life clean. I wish you luck

Hi when you use something like meth to cover up feelings then you aren't dealing with the root of them. The answer is to start dealing with these rather than papering over the cracks. Not easy I know but essential if you wish to move on. Are you seeing a counsellor as this would help you get to the roots of your issues. x
