Maybe this shouldnt be in here but i thought it might get more relevant responses in here
This week so far i have gotten drunk twice, without my parents knowing, and i have drank 3 nights in a row. On the 2 nights i got drunk i started cutting because my life aint going great right now. I mean i have an amazing best mate and an amazing bf who are there for me. but me and parents dont get on at all we argue all the time and maybe its just a teenage thing but it feels more than that like my dad in particular just doesnt care like he never has.
Im scared about whats happening to me. If im getting a 'drink problem' because i just feel that to get through any argument i need to drink or cut.
Can anyone give me any advice of how to get over this? xx

If you have the thought that a drink might help, then remember it is a depressant and may likely make things worse.
Try to get yourself out of the house and doing something (other than drinking) to keep yourself busy.
The fact alcohol is classed as a has nothing to do with feeling emotionally depressed. Depressants slow and depress body functions such as heart rate and breathing, it does not mean they make you depressed. Some depressants are very useful for treating symptoms of depression.
Alcohol is not considered one of them and may indeed make you feel worse if your self medicating with it (not simply because it's a depressant though.
Looking4Help, you need to go and speak to your doctor about this. They'll be able to offer a number of ways in which you can improve you mood. Self medicating is definately not a good idea.
Ive tried using will power to get through this and it wasnt working, ive spoken to my teacher about this and its helped but i feel like i cant keep running to her cos i feel like i keep bugging her.
She mentioned councelling but im scared about my parents finding out. x
If you were bugging her she would happily turn around and tell you to piss off already
I know where your coming from though xx *hug*
Would you prefer your parents finding out that you were getting help, or that you had serious problems that were getting worst.
