Hello, I am relatively new to this sub.

I guess I just wanted to share a bit of my story, and see if anyone has had any experiences.

You can probably notice this from my post history, but I have used drugs, and have been diagnosed with BPD (co-morbid anxiety). I only smoke every now and then now, but I used to be a fan of benzos ever since I got them prescribed initially (with subsequent fast stopping of the medication). And I have tried a lot of other drugs in the past both to try and cope with the void in my life, keep away from problems and keeping my emotions in check. A lot of which were ok experiences and a lot of which I’m really fucking disgusted at myself for ever trying.

I have never told eithet my psych or my GP I had done any other drugs besides "occasionally" smoking weed and drinking at parties. I just don’t want to look like an addict, a junkie. But I guess I also don’t want to lock the gate on possible medication, even though I have never been offered it so far (I’m being counseled only) and I have no clue how often it is given.

Do you talk to your friends, loved ones, etc. about your drug use? What about your psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor... (doesn’t have to be necessarily a mental health professional, could be your GP)?

Would talking about it with my psychologist make me feel better? Or would it be useless?

Thanks.
