It's 8 AM. I'm at work. Drunk af. I don't usually drink but I quit my job 3 weeks ago and everyone is treating me like I'm the enemy of all humanity so I got sloshed and now I'm trolling everyone. Fun times.
Then change that - you are still so young ...Alone. I'm turning 21 soon and I've done nothing with my life. I don't know what to do and my Dad knows it. I have no friends (despite my Dad thinking I do), have never had a girlfriend, or a first kiss. I know people make fun of me behind my back and I deserve it all. I wish I had someone that loved me, who thought I was the best thing to have been introduced in their life, but I know that will never happen because I have nothing that would allow anyone to love me.
It's your liverThe right side of my upper stomach hurts for days because of alcohol abuse. I don't know what's going on, but I'm buying more alcohol. It's the only thing that reduces my OCD
Damn, I guess this is it... There's probably no turning back.It's your liver
You don't think you could cope with your OCD if you tried drinking less?Damn, I guess this is it... There's probably no turning back.
I think it's impossible for me to cope with OCD without alcohol at this stage. I was prescribed a lot of antidepressants, I still do Exposure therapy, but it doesn't improve my life. I have intrusive violent, ugly, horrible thoughts on a daily basis, they give me so much anxiety, I've spent hundreds of hours performing weird rituals. It ruined my life, it ruined my boyfriend's life. So when I drink alcohol, these horrible thoughts diminish, I don't feel the urge to perform rituals and I can relax, I can actually do and enjoy stuff... But it's not living, I can't be permanently drunk, alcohol is ruining my physical health. So there's no happy ending I guess.You don't think you could cope with your OCD if you tried drinking less?
How about benzos? If they help, it's better to be addicted to them. I've been on Xanax for 20 years now, nothing else helps reduce my disgusting flashbacks & exhausting panic attacks. I have "OCD tendencies", I often waste hours washing my body, so I kind of know how horrible it is to have to perform useless ritualsI think it's impossible for me to cope with OCD without alcohol at this stage.

Benzos are amazing, but where I live doctors don't prescribe them for anxiety anymore. I went to different psychiatrists and they were all like: "We don't give benzos for cases like yours". I can only get benzos if someone brings them from abroad. Other countries are not so strict, so people can bring me a few boxes if I pay them. But the pandemic made all things difficult, borders were closed... But I think I'll get benzos in a few weeks.How about benzos? If they help, it's better to be addicted to them.

Amazingly, the same dose of Xanax still works. Not that I wouldn't love to triple it & just silence my brain completelyBut how does it feel to use benzos for 20 years? Do you feel that you need to increase your dose?
