Dealing without killing myself (may trigger)

I really need to find a way to deal with all the memories that are coming at me lately, and i have to find a way that won't kill me. i drink, which is dangerous because i'm on medication, one or two drinks is one thing but just today i have gone through almost an entire 12 pack of Smirnoff, i'm basically flirting with death with that much alcohol, and cutting, and drugs, i go to the extremes with all of them. i don't really have any good coping mechanisms that actually work, i love to write, but it doesn't help enough, sometimes it just makes things worse, i used to exercise a lot, but i even took that to the extreme, i did it obsessively to the point that i hurt myself. plus my asthma makes it extremely difficult. so what other kinds of things can i do instead of the destructive things? i guess i just feel like i'm not equipped to handle all the memories that are being thrown at me right now and it is driving me to the edge, i'm severely depressed and i'm just tired of everything, tired of fighting. i just want to quit sometimes.

I can hear your pain and I am so sorry you are hurting. Can you share is you are in counseling for these memories?

Do you have any kind of support system?

Drinking adds to you pain because now you have memories and a hangover, sugar drops, headaches etc.

I care and hope you find some peace here.

hello casey it can be hard but if you can't get counseling then try and talk to some friends or family members...If that dosen't work then try talking on here to a complete stranger that might work..good luck..from afriendtoall

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
