Answer by Ramsha
You have probably been drinking for a long time so your body is not used to the stop of alcohol you should have continued to drink and lowered the amount after every couple days and slowly stopped now i think you should start but not too much and from there slowly stop.

Question by Exhilarating, isn’t it?: Looking for reassurance… will the psychiatric treatment center help me?
I’ll keep this as short as possible. Due to abuse and other unfortunate events in my life I’ve developed anxiety, OCD, and depression. I tried battling this on my own for nearly two years. It’s done nothing but get worse. It is ruining my college classes, I can hardly function some days when I have a little girl to raise, I am mentally incapable of properly raising a kid in the condition im in, its ruining my relationships, and my future career as a nurse. It is ruining everything!

Ive been trying therapy (CBT) for months with little progress. Im too scared to take medication (one of my phobias) for fear they will make me worse because some have in the past. Im too afraid to take them on my own, especially when I have a kiddo with me.
