MDJunction to me

jenniferdiva"MDJunction has been just an amazing support for me. The people who are on mdj are so nice! Unlike the many other support sites that I have been on. I have made several friends on mdj who are so supportive and so educated about mental illness. Of course non of us are doctors, but we certainly offer each other hugs, opinions, and advice. I have learned a great deal from my friends on mdjunction. I am also encouraging other people who suffer from mental illness to come on to MDJ. It can be a life line." (jenniferdiva)

Diane, I drank and took drugs from when I was 17 years old until I was 31. It only took 4 years (21 years old) until I started having panic attacks. I sincerely believe that all the issues we "suppress" through drug /alcohol use do not go away, they actually bottle up inside us and never resolve. The alcohol numbs the pain while you are using it, but it's worse when you stop. This is just speaking from my experience. All the unanswered questions, embarrassments, and shame I ever felt, I never dealt with. Now of course without the alcohol I have serious emotional issues to deal with; such as panic, as they were never addressed before. It's a tough to process to get through, but it's more important than anything I've ever done. If you put the work into it, the rewards are there.

Andy

Thanks andy but i did 6 months rehab and i thought i had dealt with the emotional crap i had i was married for 30 yrs and left the abuse because he drank , it was hard really hard and i fully understand what you are saying about pushing the emotions down and letting them fester but i believe also that because im not drinking that the emotions are more powerful. i think i am a strong person, because i always bounce back and with people like you for support i will. i wish you thebest of health plz keep in touch and thank you again Diane x
