Drugs might seem like a good idea sometimes. A little something to pick up your mood. Maybe to help out with your prescription, if those medicines don’t seem to be working like you want. This is a bad idea. And it is very easy to tell you to just say “no” to drugs. The reality is that doesn’t work. You might find yourself saying “yes” for various reasons, including trying to be accepted by others. Peer pressure seems harder to resist when you are so unsure of yourself.
The most important thing to do is to talk with your therapist and mention any drugs that you have started doing. You might also want to talk to your doctor, as they may have effects on the medications that you are taking. Find out why you are starting these new habits and look at how they could cause problems in your life. You already suffer from depression, look at whether these will add to your problems in any way.
If you find that you are easily addicted or start to need the drugs in any way, take yourself to an AA or NA (Narcotics Anonymous) meeting. They are easy to find, particularly in big cities, and are completely confidential. Share if you want, or just listen if you want. If you feel like it would be helpful, you can probably find someone there to talk to, get some help from. If you are addicted, then getting treatment is essential. Because they can affect your mood, and cause unintended side effects for your medication, you are risking more than you probably realize. Because you suffer from depression, and are more likely to make a self-destructive decision, you need to get help whenever you can.
