Using drugs on your own is furthering your addictive behaviour. What that means? It means you are not using your own psycho mechanisms to sort your self up, but rather relying on some drugs that are supposedly helping. Then comes more anxiety, then your self image worsens, more anxiety, more drugs, etc.
Doing therapy, growing as a person, clearing chit up is the Only way.
And I am not against drugs, don't get me wrong hehe, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Some can't even function without them due to sever PTSD for instance. -> I am against self medicating and not doing actual therapy. <- I am a big believer in therapy.
